I check pkills site and it does say "We are planning additional events once the season is underway including MTNX, DS, FREERIDE, 4X. We are open to any and all new ideas - please make suggestions by emailing us!" so i dont think it would be hard to believe.... Umm yeah im in the dark and info would be cool Thanks _________________ Connecticut Mountain Biking Community ~ www.crankfire.com Re: Pkill freeride comp?

He wasn't sure how or when, but it is coming.

I didn't see it from the top, but it look slike fun. Re: Pkill freeride comp?

I can't wait for the course to finished...though PLEASE, tear down those crappy bridges on crazy horse. They serve ZERO purpose. The landings are basically flat. Absolutely no fun. _________________ Bloody shins are my wedding ring.
