I have done the 50...I live at altitude.
And I got completely destroyed by the competition...Forum Cross Pollinator, gratuitously strident

I’ve always thought of Super D and Enduro as similar but different disciplines. The old NORBA definition of Super D was something like: a single stage point-to-point race between 10 and 25 minutes in length with the starting point at a higher elevation than the finishing point.

Super D with mass lemans starts were the shit. That’s some high quality racing.
Also, that was a solid Super D joke babybear.

2021 Maggot Bike Racing Thread
Ha was there for the last US National Champs Super D at my little bump of a hill, Bear Creek PA
Oh and runs, while pretty technical, were just over 5 minutes.

If anyone hears of a blind Enduro race in the US besides trans-cascadia let me know. Otherwise I'm calling them DH races. Practice is lame. Send it blind and add some climbs.

Pulled an 8th out of 36 in the BME Expert class this weekend. Ironton, MO has the gnar. Seriously. Very raw with two race stages not part of the bike park, but just taped off wet rock areas.
I crashed hard on stage two on an off camber section and put a weird hole in my arm that was pouring blood, raced the bottom third of the stage with a super crooked bar which was....interesting.
Without the wreck I think I would have been 4th. Fuck bikes are fun.

You can get that fast. Just pump and pedal everything and don't touch your brakes. Not so easy after turning 40 is it?

Hey I'm only 37!
I have definitely noticed the rewards of training hard this winter.....and then realized I just need to go even harder. I need to get a stronger core specifically for a gnar course like Ironton that you can't pedal much on because of the foot high rocks poking up everywhere. The speed comes from efficiency by pumping the bike over everything to minimize wheel strikes. The strongest riders are kind of hovering over the chunder.

Ah to be 37 again....
Yeah pumping and popping is exhausting but fast
