r the tracks (DH) at interschools flowing kinda tracks or do they invlolve more tech and skill?
Jordy
23-01-2004, 09:03 AM
hehe... very little technical stuff but there is some of it... its long and bumpy it doesn't really flow too well in some spots coz of the bumps but its more flowy then technical
SpectRe
23-01-2004, 04:31 PM
The Thredbo DH track (aka 'Cannonball Run') is a good mix of everything, open fast sections, tighter, more technical. The only thing about the course would be its overall length (relatively long for a DH track) but dont think thats a bad thing! We've got a chairlift!! . As Jordan said, check out the site www.rawnrg.com.au or give them a call. If your parents want to check out some accommodation options go to www.thredbo.com.au for info and pricing on places to stay.
Anyone *thinking* about coming to Interschools, go for it! You dont have to be a super-fast or fit rider to rock up and give it a go, and it should be heaps of fun.
Hopefully I'll catch some of you guys there and go for some DH runs or something :)
2 smooth
23-01-2004, 05:46 PM
Thredbo is the kind of track that speed determine how hard and demanding the track is...if you go balls out oh-my-god-cant-hang-on kinda fast, it can be an absolute cunt, but in a fun way.

We have to find a way to get everyone down there. As said before, we should get a Farkin.net meet going on down there. That would be kick arse.

23-01-2004, 06:41 PM
my maa' said i can only go down if i can get a lift, so if i cant im farked..:(
SpectRe
24-01-2004, 10:36 AM
Yeah thats it, just cruising, the track is made quite easy - everything is do-able, even for the beginner recreational riders (ie. not racers). Speed/Time is the determining factor in terms of 'difficulty'. Section by section - what may seem like a piece of cake on cruisy line-spotting runs, is pretty different when your pushing as hard/fast as you can, trying to knock that time down by a few seconds.
As 2 smooth said, non-stop fast pace runs mean real punishment, but you get to the bottom thinking "That was nuts! I wanna do it again!... ow my hands hurt..." :wink: Its all good fun
2 smooth
24-01-2004, 03:16 PM
Does anyone know how to fix those aching hands when u get to the bottom? Is there anything u can use to dull the pain other than morphine?

Don't hang on so tight, you won't get arm/hand pump. Keep your shoulders/arms/hands as relaxed as possible.

yeah theres 4x this year and i was just down there 2 days ago and there is no 4x track at the moment so they could be doin sum thing and i think they might make the dh track more tech now because they are building a full beginners track.
Jordy
26-01-2004, 07:34 AM
no spectre just said its still meant for beginners too... the new 4x track if there is one had better be alot better then the old one !

Ill go out to bike addiction and have a look at their bikes... im gettin the Kona stuff vibe so yer. The p2 was abit pricy, i kinda have to buy my own bikes so yer, its all what i save.
It will be my first time at thredbo at interschools, should be fun
They are a bitch in the wet but when its dry its mad fun.
That hairpin before the stairs pisses me off, I lose a lot of speed on it, or else if I go to fast I always take a bad line and flip down the hill.

if you dont make the corner it is a VERY steep thing on the other side to go down...even if the track is wet it doesn't slow you down too much

a week of practice... make sure you take plenty of spare parts and if you can, plenty of painkillers. I can guarantee that your bike will be fucked after 3 days riding there, so 7 could be brutal!!

Yep, sure was. 1 of the 3 Tumut High School crew who all fucked up :lol: but still were in a little block on the results sheet within a few seconds of each other... just moved down a bit from where we'd normally be haha (One crash -me-, one flat tyre -matt-, and another crash -luke- ). Hopefully this year's race runs go smoothly..
EDIT: yeah national round was the 'short' track, just the top of the fire-road cut out.. which isnt much time-wise lol :) The weather/track conditions at the state round mostly made for the relatively slower times (across all of the riders)
ha ha ha you guys are so funny to read! I wish i could be there doing starts this year again! :) hear all the trash talkin' ... hey maybe someone will drop their helmet off the lift again!
