And wat is the "extreme park" like etc. pictures would be great. Is the riding there worth the trip from NJ?

I was down there for the Norba race but didn't see anything else but the course. My friends want to check it out but I am not sure if it is worth the drive time and $. _________________ Bowler on the Roll Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 12:18 pm homepiece Burner   Joined: Jan 29, 2003 Posts: 102 www.ride.snowshoe.com click on the photos link. there are quite a few pics of the Extreme park.

The freeride park still needs work becasue the trails are new. When the rain comes, the fresh trails turn to muck, but are still fun to ride. The variety of stunts are awesome, with teeters, bridges, drops, a-frames, etc. and some natural rock drops. The DH side has a new expert course that is in the same condition, still being broken in. The sport course remains the same and is fast when it's dry. Hope this helps! _________________ ironhorsebikes.com syndicatemovies.com Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 1:00 pm acair422 All-City   Joined: Aug 20, 2003 Posts: 1365 Location: New Jersey r there other DH trails besides the couple that r used for race courses? well i can only go one week and thas when i'm goin, i hope it doesn't rain Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2004 1:20 pm springfish All-City   Joined: Jan 27, 2003 Posts: 1490 Location: Hood River, Oregon going this weekend! _________________ Bloody shins are my wedding ring.

I drove 16 hours from FL and I think it was worth every minute of driving. If I lived in NJ I would go to Snowshoe once a month!!
