Figured I'd get the ball rolling with a new thread. All we still on for the "summit" in Antrim 4/25? We have a killer spot to hold an outlaw here in Burlington, but it needs to be in early May if possible (busy marina road in summer). We need someone to lend (or bring) us a timer with a 30 second GS...

Big ramps are great - I love 'em all.

A note for racers interested in world ranking though - at least before this year, if a racer chooses not to go off the big ramp in a single race, then the highest they can finish "points wise" is the next position after the last big-ramp finisher.
