Tinker is the man...he is riding his bike right now as I type this. Have some respect!! The guy does solo 24 hour efforts, wins, and then shows up and races a Norba XC National! he is fit as f**k! anyone who can ride 28 miles at a race pace and climb and descend Mt. Snow in wet roots 4 times in a row with 1.8 tires front and rear on a 22 pound bike gets my respect!! imagine riding Mt Snows wet roots up & down with 1.8 tires with a 80mm fork!!!! holy SHit! You should get out there on an xc bike for 3 hours and explore the woods! DH is great but there is alot more to bicycling than a 5 minute descent. _________________ Made in New York Posted: Thu Jun 26, 2003 9:51 pm dromond Bomber   Joined: Oct 7, 2002 Posts: 86 LukeD wrote: lol i was one of those ass clowns in sport too lol....although i did screw up and make an ass of myself on the beginning of the woods section of the course...slipped on the roots...really really really dumb mistake. it was fun though. Those roots ate me for breakfast during practice. Until I figured out that they were easy if you just stuck to the left. All of the racing at Mount Snow was fun fun fun! I did better in Mtnx than DH, as usual. Although the Mtnx course was by no means a dirtjumps trail it was an excellent race course. I doubt that anyone who saw last years event as well would say that the racing was better. Last year was "follow the leader." This year was more a fight to the finish Some more jumpable jumps would be nice though.

However, I wish they built it a little earlier so it could have settled more. It was too squishy in the upper section
