[redux for TrailCentral.com] Crash pictures from NORBA % section"
LIBERATOR
section is worse than this section in Vermont where these pro-racers
are crashing bigtime. They in fact closed this section and eliminated
it from the race due to the amount of riders crashing - yet they were
all Pros.
Clearly by the pictures it's not as severe as the rock section at Deer
Creek Canyon where they put the stairs in, it's close, but the rocks at
Deer Creek Canyon are far bigger and ruthless, there isn't as much of a
navigable path to weed out & take at DCC. What do you think (those of
you that have done DCC)?
It kinda makes me feel good to see Pros crashing at levels rated
"expert", this trail is rated "double black diamond" which is the
highest rating pertinent to difficulty in mountain biking. Another
thing I like about this race is that it's more compareable to most of
us in that most of us aren't racers and we simply just bike trails and
endure the difficult rock gardens & sections that exist because it's
there, and we're there for being outdoors & recreation scenery, not
showmanship.
Well this race is just that, it's what most of us at TrailCentral do,
there's no stunts, tricks, or showmanship going on, this is pure trail
riding and the trail is tough. I get tired of the showmanship stuff cuz
I mountain-bike for the workout & the scenery, so it's nice to see pros
doing stuff that we encounter and they fail at it, I really get tired
of the one-handed one-footers & the stunts done off jumps, it gets old.
This was refreshing to see and I think what more mountain-biking
coverage should be geared towards - difficult trail riding.
I don't like seeing people get hurt or have a bad day, but it's a nice
pat on the back seeing a pro have difficulty or failure at something
I've succeeded at. The rocks in these pictures are not severe enough to
have had stairs put in, while Deer Creek Canyon clearly needed stairs
to walk up or down without a bike. Here that's clearly not the case,
thus I think I'm accurate in saying DCC is far tougher, at least that
one % section" is. What do you guys think? Oh, and note the
rider who didn't fall, and completed the race!

If I had been the cop, he would've gotten a boot to the head as well.

How trailer-trash of him. He gets drunk with his kid, they decide to
assault the cops and now they are suing the cops.

In Florida?
Not only do I doubt that, but if it did happen, whatever faith I had left in
the American system of "justice" would go away.

Why, soon your band RUSH is going to be all dried up & done with. So
it's best we prime AMR to be a NG for a different topic.
