[2004] World Championships - Super G
Posted: Sun Jun 20, 2004 5:37 pm
Adrian, Bill and I did some more testing at the Super G venue yesterday. This hill is more fun every time we ride it. As I have mentioned before the course will be exactly 1/2 mile long, approximately 45 cones. The hill has varying grades, a slight right turn near the top, a banked right turn near the end that opens up in to the final steep chute. The runout is uphill, no foot braking required.
Adrian and I are running Bahne Rocker Slalom boards, mine with Radikals and a cutdown Avila/Avalon combo, his with Radikal/Indy and Avilas. Billy is riding a Landyachtz with Randalls and Kryptos.
Adrian ran the "course" yesterday in 1:21 yesterday. A gal on a mountain bike paced us down the hill yesterday, top speed was between 33-35mph.
You will need to be in shape for this race, as you will be walking back up the hill. There will be one hour of practice, you will then take two timed runs. Your fastest time will count towards your final placing. There will be .5 cone penalty. The race will be a push start.
I am trying to charter a bus that will transport all racers to the hill on Friday morning. Photos and video soon.
If you can get your hands on the current issue of SG (Surfer Girl) magazine, there is a Sector 9 ad that shows female pro-surfer Holly Beck skating this hill.
Bill is using his connections in effort to acquire a "profile" graphic of the hill.
