I'm sure gonna try to make it down. Hopefully I'll see you all there.

What is Super D anyway?

 

I stole this from a past thread hope it helps. There are no class seperations so you all race together. (I'm guessing normally around a dozen riders have been racing it) Jason most always races Super D as well as DH (and xc...and 4X).Damn he's busy out there!! #-oOh yeah...and he designed one of the Super D courses used last winter series....ok enough!!

"Super D was originally intended to be "old school DH". In the time before monster travel, or suspension that worked really well, DH consisted of bombing fire roads, with an occasional short climb to link to a nice singletrack. I think over the last few years, after initially introducing Super D, promoters have been fine tuning it. From what I have found, each promoter has their own personal preference, or take, on what a course should be.
Fontana's courses are generally very short, in comparison to others I have done. The guy who almost always wins out there used to set up the courses, and they tended to have an = mix of climbing and DH. This year, however; Donny, who is the promoter, has been setting up the courses, and they're leaning towards a DH run.
Yesterday's course was really fast, I chose to do it on my 5" travel bike, with pro-pedal fully engaged. My brother did it on his 6" travel bike, no pro-pedal, we were within 3 seconds of each other, and we are pretty much the same speed. The course yesterday went down the Beg/Sport DH course, with some different things to add two very short climbs to it.
Hope all this rambling was useful, I tend to get very excited when new people want to check out racing.:bang:"

 

im gonna miss this race, missed racing it last year. and im gone for it again. wil try to make some of the winter series for sure

 

Don't think I'll be trying that out quite yet. I would need to get back into the swing of things again before trying that or DH.

Is anyone going as a spectator on sunday for the DH-i've never been to a race and would like to go and check it out and show some support for all you hard core peeps that are actually racing in it....anyone?[-o-]

 

There will be plenty of spectators on the lower rock section, and the upper sections as well.

Just pick a spot and hang out and cheer!

 

Maybe if Evil Chocula decides not to race, then he can spectate with you...as ChumbaJason said "we need more cowbell"!!!

 

There will be a whole herd of us there to watch just come by the Incycle tent. First timers bring the beer:wave:...j/k. My nephew Brian will also be racing DH .

You can find me on the gnarliest section cause I'm a vulture for carnage.
Carnage is sexy !! Except when they go away by ambulance. :-s

 

when are you racing sharky... you spent all year on the sidelines

 

me too.

 

Yeah Sharky, you have the bike for it.

 

YEAH..:bang:

 

Come on Sharky..... it's time.... you told me that u would race the November race.... guess what????

I'm thinking about racing sport, but I'm 40 points from first in beginner.... any thoughts?????

 

How did you figure your stats and position in the rankings? I was thinking about not to long ago and was wondering were I was at. If i even exist in the overall.

 

4X is calling my name!! Come out and play on Friday Nam with the new bike. Anyone else they might have the DH course marked off by the afternoon (Friday). Tomorrow we might be there too?

 

Just look at the results... I wrote down all the guys that finished ahead of me, then looked at the points chart

NO, you need to race DH :-k

 

Ahhhh race or not I'm having a blast !! That's all that matters to me . Is anyone free to do the XC course tomorrow after 2. I'm without my xc bike while Dr. Dirty is wrenchin' on it but have my nephew's Giant STP (ss hardtail) for only one day to play on so was hoping someone could show Brandon the xc course while I'm playing at the 4X area. He's racing both xc and DH and should pre-ride the course. I'm thinking I should borrow the Giant for the jump clinic instead of using my 7.7 so wanted to try it out. If no one can make it I'll do the xc course instead.
