round 4 coming up next weekend: http://www.pinkbike.com/news/cheakapotamus-round-4-sea-to-sky-enduro-2014.html
Sea to Sky Enduro Series
If you had the choice between a 6" AM bike and a slack 29er hardtail, what would be appropriate for this race?
i have the same choice, and i'll be on my hardtail
Figured round 4 would be a good one to try for my first enduro, just my second season riding, but sounds like it should be around my ability.
I did LSD, Ridge, Farside/Riverside, and Tunnel Vision the past two days. Was going to do Trash/Just Another Bike trail today. Any other recommendations? I've done Business Time, haven't tried AMPM. Are those fair game?
I've only done the WORCA toonies before, any other advice?

def do AMPM/IBT or first half of IBT into AMPM for a fun downhill blaster…See Colours and Puke is also super fun descending, fast, flat corners on the first half, then sweet berms as you get into the second half, watch our for loose rock and babyheads though, it can get spicy!
Im thinking about day tripping up for Saturdays Enduro.
I guess Im weather, and studying dependant though…
Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:
ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.
I have Saturdays off this summer so I'm hoping to do some of the cool events I always miss, starting with this one!
reg'd today too, should be a fun day!

What's your course guesses Flip?
I'm not going to speculate, but looking at a map will probably tell you most of what you're asking.
there aren't too many options in that zone. when you see the course you may be disappointed at first. when you ride it you'll be stoked, its more fun than it looks on paper.
anyone know anything about the mach turtle? deliberating checking it out next weekend. i know nothing about squamish trails apart from what i rode in the gryphon race (which was pretty fun). is it in the same general area? will it be awesome?
it will be similarly awesome. designing fun enduro courses in squamish is like shooting fish in a barrel.
