NO WALKING!!! . so all u north east slalom racers. u MUST check this place out. these guys got here shit together! http://www.springmountain-fun.com Last edited by eastcoastzigzag on Mon Oct 07, 2002 10:00 pm; edited 1 time in total _________________ "Pretend it's the lumber yard Cru.

I know it's going start getting colder soon. From what I've heard the DS course is rad. Would love to see some pics if anyone has some. _________________ defconfour | Uni*on Street Bikes (remove *) | Inopia | Staff Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 12:59 pm nj_rider Burner   Joined: Sep 12, 2002 Posts: 411 Location: NJ/PA There are two more races for this year.

Let me know hey, this is Keith right? hows it been going? diggin @ the new spot is going pretty well. I think if we have a mild winter things will be full on for spring. Some of the stuff looks pretty big. I stopped by Mercer a few weeks ago. Looks like you guys did some more work there. I rode w/ these younger kids that know you. Place was fun. Why are you guys looking for a new spot? It seems the setup at Mercer is pretty good or are you getting slack from the park? I did notice little "J"s on the trees - thinking the park is designating that spot as the jump area? thanks for the invite but I've been swamped during the week. I'll have to take a raincheck. Hope to ride with you guys soon. _________________ defconfour | Uni*on Street Bikes (remove *) | Inopia | Staff Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2002 2:21 pm nj_rider Burner   Joined: Sep 12, 2002 Posts: 411 Location: NJ/PA na just the kids there keep ripping the jumps apart plus we are looking for somewhere that we can go bigger. The J's on the tree are from the cross country runners.

The problem with Plattekill is the mountain IS rocks - if you removed the ones on top, it just exposes the ones below... _________________ Team XXL "If You Hear A Rumbling, It's Just Us Tumbling" If you're gonna dream, dream big!

I raced Underdog DH there this summer, and there was only 4 people in my class. Nothing wrong with that, but a 4 man entry slalom race would be over pretty quick I would think. Do they break the skill levels up by age? I just raced DS for the first time at the last Plattekill, and it was the most fun I've had all year. The only shitty things were all the walking and how impossible is to get a pass in after the first corner. If I do go to the next Spring, you can bet I'll be doin both events. Lift assisted DS, here I come! _________________ Maxxis Tires - Posted: Fri Oct 11, 2002 3:24 pm eastcoastzigzag Team Hcor.net   Joined: Sep 7, 2002 Posts: 3574 Location: utica/elmira NY [quote="563 740"]Hey, what's the turnout usually like for Spring Mtn's ------hey man, well i went to one race. i had a blast! there were prob 2 dozen of us? i would call Jay Schwartz. he can give u real #'s. i will be w/o a doubt doing the whole series next year. i will make the Nov race also. i also drive 4 hrs to get there. plattekill is 2 hrs away. i will attend more races there when lazlo takes batter care of the slalom course. _________________ "Pretend it's the lumber yard Cru.
