We are going to be working nonstop the next week prior to the race to really smooth the course out and work peoples feedback into it. Check back here daily starting Tuesday night for updates and pics. It is going to be an awesome return to Mountain Cross at Plattekill and we look forward to the races!

Mainly build up and fix a lot of the berms. Going to try and widen some areas and possibly remove the bridge section. Also going to work on installing some drainage.

Make it a stunt, instead of a wide ass anyone can do it bridge. Make it part of the whole tech and free-ride stuff that's going to be built. _________________ Stroke my saddle-bag!

I am soo F'n sick of your logical responses! 12" I said!!! But then again, it would be sweet if the lead in berm was about 8-10' high. Next time agree with me KH!! _________________ Stroke my saddle-bag!
