Who's going!!!

I have been to just about everyone including entering the very first. So glad it's back and to witness the world's best in the Rock Garten with tunes DJ and a ruckus crowd just makes for a great day. To me it's the best and only cycle racing to watch. Well then again Virgin, Utah puts on a damn good show.

Yes!!! Can't wait.... they cut an entirely new course.....doesn't look like they're using the old usopen/BMW trail or even asylum......that big table out of asylum has been replaced by an insane jump, not sure how course is getting there........looks like a very fast course with quite a bit of ski trails involved........they also put a bridge over the green trail and they have a whoop section too......

MASSIVE!!

That big table I think is for whip it contest on Friday. May not be even part of the course.

I see they opened an original trail from '99 for the course.

I think they would have to keep rock Garten in its a staple of every us open.

They opened up a new gnar rock section just to the right of the Asylum rock drop. That's going to be a prime viewing spot.

I actually remember that section they opened from inaugural year creek first opened up. I figured it was a washed out mess.

I plan to be there on Sunday to spectate and hopefully get some runs in. Before I know it the first DH race at Blue Mtn will be upon me and I haven't even touched the big bike this year...
