Ill be there racing, #987 red/black IQ. who else is going racing or spectating. should be a good turnout if the weather is good

if i go, i'll go on sunday. will be at trout saturday. hillcross has a poor turnout every year. waste of time to go and watch. ill prob be a spirit next weekend if the sleds running top notch. ill get some practice during the week to test it at the ridge after hillcross is done there.

rosko let me kno how trout is looking after this weekend if it will be able to be a go for the third weekend of april, i wanna get back out there and do some skilies on the water.

i'll do that Chub

Our club will be there again working the Hill, My sled is down with a BO motor clutch so I will have the wheeler there this year..

WTF? Hill-X is a waste of time and has a poor turnout?
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Last years Giants and Spirit Mnt. were a blast!!!
Maybe if you would actually qualify for a final you might have a better attitude toward it?

That hurts...

I'll be there watching my girlfriends brother race.

whats his number? and sled?

I made both finals last year.

I never said spirit mtn wasnt fun, because it was a blast. im just saying the ridge course blows big time.

now if you didnt have your head so far up your fucking ass, you would have read my first post right.

Get bent

No need to get all bent outta shape, KYLE.
I stand correct... last year you had a total of 12 points at Giants and 12 points at Spirit for BEGINNER TRACTION... and you held your own with the 24th ranking out of 25 for the year. BEGINNER 800 IMPROVED even better going 17 and 17. Wow! did you get all of those points in your finals?
I'm just fucking with you dude. I was watching you race last year and you looked like a rookie.

i'm not knocking the race but i went today (saturday) from one to five and there werent many people. not as many as there was last year. usually the whole side is packed at the ridge but not this year.. dont get me wrong it was still a blast! and had perfect weather and excelent food! just not as many people as i thought were there watching

probly the smaller crowd possibly from being there is the year end snox in spirit mountain this weekand and its their year end awards banquest also. i had a horseshit day, sled is running like shit, after about the first double.

well they missed a great day. IMO

i made both finals but i didnt race in them, my bearing went out on my jackshaft and i didnt have another sled to race in the finals on sunday. so i just packed up and went home. and it was my first time, so i should have looked like a rookie. no need to say any of what you said in the first place. i just said something general that the ridge was a boring track, then you made it personal on me.

Actually the track at the ridge isnt boring, its one of the best i have to say and they rest of the racers will also. sled ran alot better today. beleive i ended up with two 4ths in my finals

The weekend racing at the Ridge was very good this year--we did have to do a little bit of sled chasing but not much--I was working the jump after the table-top right before the climb to the top. Most of the sled chasing was for breakdowns. It seemed like we had a lot of blown chains and bearing this year.

Thankfully no one got seriously hurt this year even though there were some very serious looking wrecks. The kid that got ran over right after the double on Sunday and then came back to race again (2 or 3 races later) must have had a lot of adrenline going through him to keep on going.

As a Trailhawk, it is always fun to help Wally and you guys out with the races--I'll see you again next year!

822 Andy Gruba

well there was a serious crash, right b4 the finish line #5 Kevin Bird, fractured vertabre, is having surgery today on it. he wasnt moving to well, there were 3 other crashes that were kinda semi-serious with number #822 , #418, and #642 , but they mainly just got the wind knocked out of them

I guess Andy is doing ok, sucks that he was almost to the finish and ended up like that.

about 50 more feet he would of had the win, the kid that hit him barely even came up to him and ask him ifs hes alright and apologize, and neither did the kids parents, multiple other races said they were glad to see hes alright to him. not to respectful on the kids part to not apologize and make sure hes alright. But he had a sore knee. Andy one of my best friends. Lucky his crash and accident wasnt anymore serious.

Shows how much sportsmanship that kid has. Andy has been doing pretty good this year for a first timer. Do you and Andy do a lot of riding together up in Ely, whenever hes home.

more waterskipping than riding when hes in town, since he hasnt had the sled long, but yes he is doing good, 1st in points for beg non traction, and i beleive he will move into 4th for sport 600 improved after this weekend. he is bringing home a bunch of trophies, mainly firsts and seconds

Do you know where I can find photos from this race?
Thanks

Yeah...ouch. Luckily I didnt end up in surgery, just a really annoying brace and neck collar. Not much fun.
