Title: Elkhorn trial difficulty will be eased from past years
Post by: northernnorm on June 04, 2008, 03:29:23 PM
  After the Japanese WTC gathered 100 plus points from the majority of riders I am inclined to err on the EZ side for the 1 st time ever \, so dont stay home because of fear ,come ouit and rock  should be fun. Norm

Does that mean that there will be Vintage bike friendly sections?

Noel, could you use some help setting up?  I could come out Wednesday night, the 11th, after work.

I'll take the lack of response as a NO, Noel.

Sorry Noel, but I won't be able to be there tonight... I'm cleaning out my basement.     :-\

Jorge, what exactly is a "Vintage Friendly Line"?  What's different between that and the Novice line you've ridden in the past at Smage's?  Or did you ride Intermediate there last year?

Well we do plan a Novice /Int/adv/ex/champ layout and prossibly a youth set of traps.   surely Vin will fit somewhere   the event is all staked and ribboneds just waiting for thursdays storms to pass b fore stapling line splits in.

After hearing the weather and news reports from north of the boarder....I was wondering ...reguler or E-Xtra long snorkel......or maybe I should wait a few more days to ask that question

Jorge, did you see this vintage trials video link posted over on Trials Central?

http://www.youtube.com/v/wQjS6fWqAYk&hl=en (http://www.youtube.com/v/wQjS6fWqAYk&hl=en)

Talk about a tough trial!  I didn't see a single guy clean the last section they show.  Looked like one guy came close near the end, but I thought he might have dabbed just as they cut away from him.  If he made it, he was the only one to make it.

Wow! That was cool. It started out looking like an enduro with trials sections in it. That's what I call "vintage lines".
Makes me want to fix my fork seals and ride. LOL
See ya,  Jorge

I was out last night and mowed everything nice for parking  ,then today did a quick ride through to check for neededAll parkingh  mods in the ADV  line  ,before the last 2 inches of rain this aft it was quite good so things change fairly quick  . Iweed wacked by our barn which is  basically rideable in the rain but to get from here to the woods requires getting within a foot of the road so not sure we can set stuff up in our back barnyard. All parkiing should be  out by woods .   Main thing is  if Sundays rain stays away  it will most likely be pretty good.

  Yes   ,last night we had 2 1/2 inches of rain and I drove out to plate everything and had no problem getting right in  just 1 water trap that wasnt bad and will be dry in a few days .  The ridge dries off nicely ,basically very rideable right now. I was going to mention peop[le are welcome to camp Saturday night if they would like.   Noel
