disagree... the part immediatly after the road is better, the rest of it is alright.I think alot of people will agree with me when i say.. If we race Beauty SC can we please use the bottom section of big hill after you cross the road.. the other section was sooo shit!
I disagree; I loved the SC bottom section that got used last season!!! It's always good to have something new... its more technical and is a bit longer (I think???) - the other bottom section is a bit too easy I thought...I think alot of people will agree with me when i say..

Yeah the SC bottom is way better i love those little rock gardens.I disagree; I loved the SC bottom section that got used last season!!! It's always good to have something new... its more technical and is a bit longer (I think???) - the other bottom section is a bit too easy I thought...
Mind you, I did wipe out an XO derailleur on a rock in the new bottom section, so that's definitely a minus
I'm in 2 frames of mind for this.every one at the vdhs seems to be getting alot better these days even the newbies
and the younger riders. maybe we could start working on making some of the easier
tracks a bit harder and more tech. still with the a, b and c lines but make it so the more skill you have the more it shows in your time.
Barjarg is just too good to miss.I'm in 2 frames of mind for this.
1. Yes - for progression.
2. No - I can see it scaring off alot of people still cutting their teeth in DH. Remember, racing is for everyone, not just the top 10% of each catagory.
So maybe not make easy tracks harder, just harder to ride fast. Or a mix of some hard tracks **cough** Barjarg **cough** and some easy like Mt Beauty SC or InterBom or something.
Thoughts?
Agreed. But that's not what I am saying. I am saying have some hard tracks and some easy tracks in the season. I consider both Abom and International to be easy, but racing Interbom makes it easy without being boring. This is just an example. Nothing more.Barjarg is just too good to miss.
But Interbomb, i think, is a waste of time. That fireroad link is crap, and you miss the flatter top part of Inter, which alot of people do bitch about, but really requires you to hit stuff smooth and fast. And you dont even really ride much of ABOM at all, seems like the first half of the run is a waste of time.
Ideally, both tracks would be raced seperately, due to the use of lifts which are amazingly more effecient.
Totally agree with the easy/hard tracks.Agreed. But that's not what I am saying. I am saying have some hard tracks and some easy tracks in the season. I consider both Abom and International to be easy, but racing Interbom makes it easy without being boring. This is just an example. Nothing more.
i disagree with you on the part where you say short track bottem is longer than bighill bottem, because my brother and i rode bighhill then when we crossed the road and we raced i did short track bottem and he did bighill botteml and he is alot quicker than me and i almost ran into him at the stair case corner where the two tracks meetI disagree; I loved the SC bottom section that got used last season!!!

Well, let's wait and see what happens once the venues are confirmed. You might be in luck.Barjarg is just too good to miss..
Maybe not that long........I know someone that knows someone, that is slightly related to people that might be organising the dates/venues. Hold tight!cant wait to see what the dates will be.
need to organize leave from work any idea how far we are off an announcement?
You must know the same person Hux!Maybe not that long........I know someone that knows someone, that is slightly related to people that might be organising the dates/venues. Hold tight!
