    It's over a week, not a single ride. So should be achievable.

    Only if he's a fast runner...

    You've just got to start this year

    Are you entering again this year? If you are, I'll just be in one position lower at the end...

    There's no guard at the Silvermine entrance. Just saying...

    I'm going solo this year after three years of team entries

    Ok! Now I know where you meant! In my mind Vasbyt only started after that where the line split between the DH and Vasbyt, and it was just the DH line before that. I did enjoy those roots!

    What log drop are you guys talking about? I'm hitting a blank. On vasbyt? The only drop that I can think of is the wooden boardwalk thing that you could drop off the end of.

    That's some seriously stabilized footage!

    Why does the forum not have a crying emoticon? It would be appropriate now. Enjoy it guys

    Here's the sign at the fork:

    I just got back! Still pumped! Love that place and so glad that we are able to ride there again! I nearly died twice. Love it!! Luckily I never had to sample that steep road. I have two questions about signage... 1 - Boulders. At the bottom the sign with the two arrows showing multi directional trail has the down arrow taped over, making it look like it's an up trail only. At the top there's a sign showing it as a down trail with no mention of multi direction. This leads to riders going in each direction thinking that they have right of way and the others going the opposite way are in the wrong. There were already some heated words, so this definitely needs more clarity! 2 - Level 5. Coming in from Silvermine gate there's a new signboard up showing where you can't ride (the same one that was posted here the other day with the red 'no go' sections. However, when you ride down to the first fork in the road there's a no entry sign on the upper road but nothing on the lower one. But this then makes you go into the red 'no go' area. Then coming from the bottom, both the lower road and the upper level 5 road have no entry signs! So how exactly are you meant to get back to the Silvermine gate without going past one of the no entry signs? Also, entry to the top snake and the top of the DH line - you'll need to go past the no entry sign. Apart from these two little niggles I really loved it! The amount of people was something else, but it all flowed nicely and I was never held up. The trails are awesome! Bridal path is still roff, and the snakes are much faster now. Boulders is like riding an alien trail - I didn't know where I was most of the time (has the route been altered?) SO HAPPY!!!!

    I'll be the guy coming in from Silvermine to avoid the horrible climb!

    What a Cok

    I'm itching to get in there, but I'm sure everyone else is as well... Starting to have second thoughts about going tomorrow - think it'll be a bun fight?
  20. dirtypot
    It's raining tomorrow
  21. dirtypot
    Yay for one in three chance!
  22. dirtypot
    Have no entry signs been put at the bottoms of all of the trails?
  23. dirtypot
    It's lucky that we have a financial guy around for tough decisions like these
  24. dirtypot
    Woohoo!! That number has come down nicely! These are the best odds I've ever had of getting into the Epic!

    Did you make it?
