what is mountain cross?
I know what boarder cross and skier cross racing is... should I assume that
mountain cross is the same thing, with four bikes starting down the course at once? Just wondering as it's one of the NORBA events that I'll be marshalling ( maybe) For sure, the XC pros race and the Pro Dh practice runs. Penny |

Just wondering as it's one of the NORBA events that I'll be marshalling ( maybe) For sure, the XC pros race and the Pro Dh practice runs. Penny Formerly known as DS (Dual Slalom) and also called 4X. Norba officially changed the format from a 2 person race to 4 persons. The courses were also changed to allow four racers on the same course bumping elbows, knees and anything else that gets in the way. -- Slacker |

As well as Pete's pics, here are some of mine from Round 1 of the World Cup: http://j-harris.net/bike/fort_william/ (images 16 to 33) |

Just wondering as it's one of the NORBA events that I'll be marshalling ( maybe) For sure, the XC pros race and the Pro Dh practice runs. It's a made-for-tv event that isn't very interesting. Since it requires too many cameras to do decent coverage of XC and DH racing they have short, not very technical, downhill courses which can be covered by a few cameras. Having 4 riders race at once makes it more 'dramatic.' |

Penny bmx JD If it was BMX the bikes would have no suspension, only a rear brake, there'd be more jumps, more passes and every rider would have more style than Cedric: http://www.bmxplosive.com/TripleCrown/TripleCrown.htm Look at a bmx track. Look at a mountain cross course. Look at a singletrack through the woods. I rest my case. JD |
