I always go, I didn't race hardtail DH last year, and this year either...actually this means that my bike is still covered in the mud of two years ago, when there was a light drizzle. I was in a suit and tie

I'll be there. I want some Kenda K-rad tires for $10 each! i always miss out on those!

I hear lots of girls go too. I was talking to my friends sisters friends and heard they were going, i was like you dont ride! they said "we go for the hot guys"

you should go if youre remotely interested in biking, or looking for a fun weekend. Its one of the biggest bike gatherings in the world. Racers from all over the world there, Canada Japan Europe...

Im going on Sunday. I've never been before but sounds like it should be fun, and probably the only opportunity to see Steve Peat, Sam Hill and others.

unfortunately prom coincides with sea otter. my buddy is gonna skip the prom for DH and DS, practice starts tomorrow. the DH course is pretty gnarly for hardtail - my props go out to anyone racing that. if you guys arent in to mountain biking, watch the road guys do laguna.

for most its hard on a hardtail, but once you get past the gnar factor, hardtails rule the course IMO. No energy lost in the rear. I gapped the double log drop 2 years ago. I had my inverted triple crown forks on, but whatev

I've always wanted to try dual slalom, mountaincross is too gnar for me!

entry is like $90 this year? i remember last year it was priced high too, which is one reason i didnt enter.

I think parking in the fields is free, but not sure. I don't remember being stopped by anyone, just directed wear to go.
