To be able to do a typical NorCal downhill race what skill level should you be at. I currently race xc and on the road and want to get into some DH racing but dont want to get in over my head in my first race. I can do Black diamond trails at N* no problem but havent tried doing the drops on the double black runs. What size drops typically are in a downhill race? I can do like 2 footers on my xc bike but havent really done much bigger. thx
