Replying to Insane downhill race for east coasters!
It's on October 1st at Highland Mountain. I got to ride the course and to tell you it's pretty fucking awsome. The course has some technical parts, but it's not bad at all. There's some hidden lines that don't even look rideable but definitly something to try. The highlight of this course is that it's basically a freeride course. There's an eight foot drop with a perfect landing (the faster you go the smoother), and a seven foot drop near the end in the woods. Also there is a massive wooden step up that lands you onto a rock ledge with a berm to the left. They're also going to add in a booter that's going to gap into an old halfpipe. I suggest all dh racers on the east to attend this race and check this place out. There's only 4 trails but they will keep you busy for hours on end. NE Style is like an a-line on steroids. Not as many drops but at the beginning it's a teeter, to a 10ft. drop, berm, jump, gap to wallride, then the jumps section with some other sick shit thrown in there. It's unreal, check it out.
