I was terrified... Especially after we got the tour in the morning before the race. ICY and steep with a severe off camber climb. I made it my goal to just worry about making the course cleanly and forget about time... I let the big boys do the racing and the crashing and just concentrated on...
It wasn't well advertised- I just happened to see it on Facebook. They had 75 entries with a waiting list by about a week before the event: sold out faster than expected for sure. Spectators: maybe 200 at the most. The public response was awesome: definitely a good course for the huge...
Why are we doing business with a communist country that has no problem with putting lead in the paint on our children's toys or melamine in the food for our innocent pets? They don't give a ch!t about their own people and care even less about ours... But money rules and the fact that we are...

This was the course:
Started with a few tabletops and snocross style jumps and then up OH MY GOD (with a few more jumps and a road gap) across the chairlift and straight up Ole Grandad with two more jumps to cross the finish line ;)
The short trackers definitely had the advantage today... there was more than one trailer that went home with every machine having a bent rail or mechanical mishap :( The little bugger that won it all was on a short tracker in every class. He went non-stop all day long and killed it every run :)...
Yup!! It was totally AWESOME ;) I loved every terrifying moment .... I gotta admit that when we did the tour of the course first thing in the a.m. And I saw how icy the course was, I wanted to bail... Then the only other girl who was on the roster (who happens to race regularly) quit, and I had...
