BUCS 2011 X.C Carnage! 13

What a weekend.... and to top it off, someone taped in this nasty off camber/steep corner on the x.c descent!

As expected, barely anyone could get down it in one piece... so sit back and prepare to smile!

AWESOME. Perfect example of when a 70+deg HT doesn't help.

It reminds me of going to the resort and seeing XC dudes in the parking lot all pumped up to ride chairlift. Then about an hour later you see them at the base all banged up and pissed off!

i did my first cross country race in 1987. it was on a hairscramble course in downingtown, pa. it rained a couple of inches the night before and there were three river crossings per lap (they started as streams). it took almost a minute to find the bike when it got washed away on the last lap. xc used to be a man's sport and i wish that some of the danger was still there. these modern riders are genetic / training freaks, but the soul has gone out of it...at least most of it... it's cool that so many people at least tried to ride this section. love the cheering section and the scorpion at the end is classic.
