I always raced DH with at least one set of spare wheels (with tires installed) in the van. Plus extra sets of tires.

FYI: There's an Eastern States Cup enduro and DH event at Blue Mtn this weekend. The event used most of the trails there, so I don't think it would be a good weekend to go there to just ride.
I think got your dates mixed up. ESC is Aug 29. MASS was there a week ago.

The only reason I know about it is I happened to see a post on the ESC Facebook page.
Had an interesting day at Creek. The new bottom of Tempest is a lot of fun although it was a bit soft in spots. Someone in a MTBNJ jersey rode by at about double the speed that I'm riding some of those sections so kudos there. Also helped out after an unfortunate crash on the natural drop on Tempest. Sounds like the person may have thought that you can roll any part of the drop and went over the bars on the left side. My friends and I hung out to direct traffic and help carry the person to the side by side for a ride down the hill. Hopefully injuries aren't too bad and definitely a good reminder to "look before you leap".
Definitely will be fun when it firm's up . Kudos for helping someone in need , I helped some groms that had a bad crash earlier in the year with calling emt and guiding them to the location , def puts a damper on the rest of the day .
Ooof. That sucks. Never assume you can roll a feature that has a clearly marked "DROP!" sign... That drop is lame though... it's a straight huck to flat and kills your momentum for the table top right after it. The roll on the right is way faster.
Do you even remember how to get to Mt Creek?
Think he got 3 runs yesterday before his bike broke 🤣🤣🤣
You just learned about Creek last year..... I was riding there before you were born. Just kidding, nobody is that old.
Technically I didn't "break" my bike.... it just fell apart lol.
Definitely did not sabotage my bike on purpose because my arms were on fire after run 1. I would never do that.
Last I saw was Nov 7th, but like @JonF said it always changes.... If it stays too warm to start testing snowblowers they will milk it as long as possible.

Took a well needed mental health day off work today and went up to Creek to play with a new gadget. Apparently they just finished rebuilding the lower half of tempest and it's so primo right now. Similar in scale and style to upper tempest and a total blast to ride the rails off it. So buff and smooth, it stands in stark contrast to the blown out and rutted condition of most of the lower trails. Definitely a must ride right now.

Good being at creek today for the jam for Paul and Jason. Some people really sending it on lower dominion with Paul's brother Jon as MC.
Also great seeing the work they've done on domboo and indy.
