Funken you going?
Anyone ridden the Super D or DH courses?
I'll be there! The DH and SD are supposed to be SUPER fun. Just super.
I will be there, doing XC, SD, and DH... that's my plan. I've ridden the DH in the past, but I think they have changed the course. At any rate, the Angelfire DH is AWLAYS fun!

Last year's were awesome. Same (DH at least) course as the world cup I believe. Was a blast!Quote:

Ok, now that I'm all out here in Cali, it looks like I won't be going to Angel Fire. There are a lot of small races that are closer, so I'm going to try to hit up a bunch of those. Basically, I'm going to need save the travel days for the NORBA Nats and stuff later in the summer. :(
bump... going down there on that Fri.
This one is out, but maybe Nats..........
I'll be there! XC race. 1st one of the season is always a wake up call for how the training has been going!!! we'll see....
count me in and ready to have a go at another mixed semi/pro mx. the dh is always so kickass, i'm way excited. prolly leaving golden on friday around 9
Do any of the Colorado mags know Leland Turner? I think he finished fifth at angel fire last year (?) He is from Breck and either races expert or semi-pro DH. Good buddy of mine and a great skier taboot.
Yea I know him... he has a sweet STi.Quote:

Bump. Looking for some Denver ish area mags to carpool with. I 'd love to race in Angelfire, but I can't swing the gas bill.
See all yuz down there... look for a PM gear jersey and a red Peeler.
i may be there if we don't find anything else for the weekend :) there's still snow on the sangre de cristo mountains, i may go bury myself in it instead (plan A was a long drive to A-Basin for friday, but nobody wants to come with me :()
Great way to start the year - 3 days of riding one of the best DH courses in the country. I'll post some pics when I get my camera back. It was great to see Mr. Altagirl was able to make the trip. I didn't run into any other mags, although I know there were some there. Beast kicked ass and took 2nd place in semi-pro MX. I took 7th in DH sport. There were an AMAZING 410 riders in the DH race!!!! Awesome to see such a huge turn out for the event. The weather was fantastic, 70s and sun everyday. Looking forward to the next race....
Funny, after getting back from a weekend of biking, I've lost interest in reading the skiing forum.:biggrin:
Congrats on your 7th in DH sport! I did the Expert XC and Super-D. It was fun, although my race results were not up to par due to having some issues w/ my brand new bike--- didn't quite have it dialed in after only having ridden it 3 times before the race. Oh well, you live, you learn, you fix your bike :)Quote:

What an awesome race course! I agree with Funken, Angle Fire kicks ass. I ended up 4th in 40+ Ex DH, should have done better but oh well (the local guys are really fast). I really wanted a sub 6 minute run but one little bobble put me at 6:03. Sorry we didn't hook up earlier, I had a blast riding all weekend (the new Ventana is AWESOME) and would have loved to finally get some riding in with you. Long ride home, pulled in at 2 AM, up for work at 6 sucked. I'm really psyched to go fast now...
