    J,
    If you race xc, are you still going to do some DH runs before the xc race? I thought about doing that, but I don't want to get too tired before...so, I don't know...

    don't think there really is one... i save j and his bro riding cannondale rush's and i met another dood that was riding a giant reign. i'd say the normal bikes are about 4-6" travel and under 30 lbs... pretty much your average trail bike

    No limitations, anything goes. That is one of the reasons they started Super D, your weapon of choice can make or break you. At Fontana, a lighter weight, xc or trail bike works well. At other races, a more agressive trail bike has been a better choice, that's when I run my Enduro.

    yeah i felt good too. not mylar good, but good. hope it doesnt rain tomarrow! they commence racing even under 100% precipitation conditions? says 30% chance in that area. rain starting tonight @ 9:00 and keeping up until 3 pm tomarrow.

    if they dont race, will i get my $ back, or credit to next one?
