Oh...Jon's the guy with the judge? He's a really cool guy, but he probably should move to expert. Normally I wouldn't care too much, but it's also the class I race in, and I know for a fact that he DEMOLISHED me at webb when I met him there.

 

Damn, you didn't waste any time putting that one together. So when are we hitting the track???

 

I thought you had to petition to move to expert class..something about being able to show consistent race results to justify the move..:?:

 

No Jon is one who had his Judge stolen around christmas. Jon is not in you class he races pro, and he podiumed. He only raced sport for XC.

 

yeah, that's what I figured...

whatever. looks like the reign will be making it's debut again for this next race, pending a new wheel :bang:

 

They must be a tad bit wider if Denmo and Julia12 were in the same heat....haahha

 

Pro
Pro Women
Expert Men
Open Women
Sport Men
18+ Beginner Men
17- Beginner Men

 

woot! I think TMAC and Jsims need to race, so we can have a head to head duel :bang:

 

No race #3 for me, but going to Mammoth to snowboard.:beer:

 

but in his defense, his winning time was around the same time for people that won other sport classes. Heck, I know his time got beat by a guy that raced by himself in the age above ours (he's on here too but i forget his name). So you're probably giving me too much credit being 16 minutes behind 1st, I'm much slower than i need to be.

aaaaahhhh. i don't know why i thanked you for posting those. 42 seconds off 2nd after 1:45! #-o#-o#-o#-o

Gives me something to shoot for next race :beer:

 

Ok next time speed up up slow poke.

 

Stopped by The Path again today and picked up the last of the needed accessories to make it work... As soon as I cut some cable and adjust the r mech I am thinking maybe this friday afternoon... if not then Sat somewhere...

That Bog O Sand will destroy me

But thanks for the vote of confidence

 

I might be able to manage friday. orange y or fontucky?

 

was at orange Y today,will be ther agian friday, maybe fontucky sunday

 

What does one need to ride at the Y???

 

a memebership which is like 40-45 bucks and that comes with free practice
trial memebership/practice is 15 bucks for the day

practice with a memebership is 7 bucks now, they have gotten stricter with the memeberships so you cant really practice without one anymore.

 

15 bucks (5 if you've got an ABA membership for some reason), long pants and sleeves. FF helmet a plus. oh, and a custom yeti DJ helps too

if there's enough people on 26 inchers, they'll do an exhibition 4X race for free. it's good fun, and you get the fun of chasing people down.

edit: ricky beat me too it. ghey $7 charge makes me find singles in my wallet. and the membership SHOULD come with 3 free practices (mine did)

 

get any of 312 N?

 

Race beginner or race expert if you want to avoid sandbaggers.
Even beginner class is not safe, but sport is the worst, in all ages, all disciplines, and not just at Fontana.
