Vail Lake DH Race, November 8th

thats why you do both.

 

when is the next time you guys are going to go up and work on the trails?

i wouldnt mind lending a hand.

 

Dale should be out there upcoming Saturday and Sunday. Send him a PM (Division26)

 

okay. it's just if there's too much high-impact stuff that will pinch flat a weaker tire (such as my 2.35 single ply nevegal), I don't want to have to worry about it. perhaps I'll go find a 2.5 nevegal 2-ply :-k

 

2 ply would be a good idea out there for sure. After all the pinch flats I've gotten from just general riding with single plys, I will only run dual ply or tubeless now.

 

There's a trip to the path in my future methinks...

there's no way in hell I was getting that nevegal to seal tubeless either

 

Hey GiantFro we will be there Sat and Sun PM me if you want to go and get details. Thanks for your interest.

 

What did you guys get done after DownHillPhil and I left today, Dale? The place sure is going to be fun, huh?!?!

 

Thanks for coming out and helping! We finished both of the ladder bridges (I sent you a picture of Steve guinea pigging the bottom ladder looks smooth and the roll ins a real nice so any skill level can do them) and finished the 180 berm.

EC will be out there everyday this week working on the upper section of the course so by go time it will be fun.

Just the difference in riding terrain from top to bottom is unique and a challenge. Technical top sections mixed with flowy turns, some rocks, some typicle so cal fluff and a little freeride influence will keep you on your toes. The best part is the faster you go the harder it will be and that is what will truely seperate the classes.

Those who haven't already pre-registered please do. The response we are getting so far is tremendous and we look to have a large turnout so please help us out by pre registering and save your self some time and $$ and help us ensure we offer a smooth running event.

Pre Register HERE

 

Send me the pic Dale! :bang:

I'm bummed I didn't get to break in the Ellsworth. All Marshall's fault!

 

Anyone else having problems registering? I tried earlier this morning, but it does not show all the available classes.

Also, you might want to consider paring down the Expert Women's classes to 34- Under and 35+. There are not enought Women who race to merit having more than 2 age brackets. In fact, you might want to even consider having Expert Women Open only class.

 

Whats missing? I did this morning with no problem

 

It only gives me a choice to register for these classes:

Jr Sport/Beginner Men (18 under)
Sport/ Beginner Men
Jr Expert Men (18 under)
Expert Men US
Pro Men

 

There are tabs even though they are kinda hard to see. It sounds like you are on Super D Men tab, next that is Women Super D. Then above that is Round 1 and Round 2 ones. Round 1 is the Super D (Day 1) and Round 2 is the DH(Day 2).

 

Finally figured it out, thanks!

 

Can anyone else confirm that there will be shuttle service on saturday? What about sunday?
I didn't see anything about shuttle service on the flier or any word directly from EC or Division 26 about a shuttle.

Cost for shuttle? Registration required for shuttle?

 

From http://www.pcamtb.com/events.html
8:00 am to 3:00 pm Downhill Practice You must have a wrist band to get on the shuttle Free for racers and $8 for non-registered racers

Thats for Sat only though

 

Hi Denmother

Thanks for the heads up EC and I considered combining those classes so its better for everyone can you pm me your number so I can ask you some questions before we make a final decision there.

Thanks Dale

What mfoga Said! Thanks for the correct response. There may be a slight change to practice start time on Saturday we may move it to 9 am start and go till just before Dark ill keep you posted and well update the site with any changes.

I love the forum it makes my job so much easier to get the info out thanks everyone for your help and enthusiasm!

 

Correct unfortunately when doing a 2 day event there site makes you separate the events by days which is both good and bad. If anyone has any questions about pre reg just ask away and I will make sure to get you the correct info and thanks again for your help.

 

PM sent!!!!!
