Anyone hear how the races went at Plattekill today? Hopefully it was a safe and fun day. I went up Saturday and had a blast. The amateur course needed a little more technical to it, but even with the rain, I thought it was a great day...

****ing terrible. the expert course got even worse than it was yesterday (which i didnt know was possible) and there were alot of injuries and crashes. I personally lost cout of my crashes in my race run it was so many. 5 or 6 is my guess, but absolutely everony fell. i finished fourth in jr x which is dissapointing.

I raced sport... and found the sport course a bit too simple.. and the flat/uphill section was super lame.. The course was super fast, and I did def enjoy it overall.. but there was far too little technical stuff in it.. The pro/expert course was ok.. but it really didnt seem to flow that nicely.. i rode it sat morning, all wet... I rode down most of it fine, but i wasnt too psyched on it.. (probably mostly cauz of the wetness- was super steep and rooty and wet... bad combo) Overall people b*tched way too much this weekend about the courses.. I didnt necessarily love the sport course but i still had a good time.. if you dont like it, its probably cauz its something you suck at... so suck it up and get better at it. I got really sick of all the whining going on.

:madman: you are retarded. we are pretty much all better riders than you, and the majority agreed that that is not a race course. if everyone in my class (jr x) fell atleast twice, there is something majorly wrong.

Tough course, very steep, very wet.......challenging for sure. Sunday was beautiful, the Saturday rain seemed to put a damper on the course and a few attitudes.

Come back when you grow up. Better rider then me?- Little cocky aye? How is a "race course" supposed to be defined? There are plenty of people that would have LOVED that trail as a race course. Just because you didnt doesnt mean others didnt.(and if you read my message and stopped being ignorant you would have seen I agree'd with you for the most part about the course) There was plenty of pro's that loved the course though.. From what I have heard ( i have not raced there before) that is the kind of courses you expect at plattekill. One of the pro's I know and his friends were happy about the course... saying it was back to plattekills real race courses.. SOO... if you dont like how platty does their courses, become pro-active(IE, help design courses and not whine), or go somewhere else..
