Re: go vert!
As the last GoG-Mega-Ramp is over now we tend to built a new one. It´s a GoG-mission to push the limits. 2 weeks ago we were thinking about building a new big starting ramp with vertical transition. The posts above encourage us to do so. Who needs rules if speed is in need? btw.: Security is not an...

Speaking as a BOD member, I would like to see any race have the ability to step up the game with a bigger ramp! That being said I agree with Wesley if racers are offer a choice, then we need to understand if said racer selects an A or B group and A is big ramp, B is traditional, or is everyone in o...

My suggestion to change the rule is based on the belief that some of the ISSA rules are extraneous. I don't think it's necessary to put limitations on the size and shape of the ramp. Especially given that ramps are not required. You could have a push start in some races (though that might effect th...

Big Ass DHB RAMPS
I appreciate this discussion but the idea that the DHB Big Ramps are somehow unfair or unsafe makes me laugh. Yes, I crashed off the ramp at this last year's Dixie but it was NOT the ramps fault. I had the wrong set up and I didn't lean forward enough coming off. My 47 year self climbed back up the ...

I hope that my post about cheating didn´t sound like an accusation to somebody. Before the Worlds there was some bullshit about for how long we had run the courses and I was referring to that and nothing else.
