Heck, I might even try a downhill if I could get a lift to the top... LOL.

Better yet, a nice road to ride your road bike up, then switch to your mountain bike for the ride down. And they transport your MB up and your road bike down.

I'm working with a ski resort that is closing to skiing, snowboarding. they want to have an "extreme downhill", their words, not mine. Its mostly for mountainboards , but I want it to be accessible to mountainbikes and bmx . What do you think? Any design ideas?

can't tell you where. TOP SECRET!!! What could be done at this resort has never been done before, so I can't say any more, but am very interested in YOUR ideas. How would a mountainbike flow down a snake run with huge banks, berms ,hips,etc.?

thanks for the input and ideas

Do a search for "dual slalom" on google. There is also alot of BMX racing on this type of course... I'm sure a few talented "mountain borders" would beable to ride a few of the current runs setup for BMX bikes...

I'm talking about something WAY HUGER. a snake run ,carved into the earth 1-10 ft. deep and 10-30ft. wide, with huge berms,hips ,spines,rollers,bowls and a 100 yard dirt and grass halfpipe running down the hill beside it.

I would love for mountainboards to ride all the downhill bmx courses and duel slaloms, they just dont seem to want us. people dont know that mountainboards are doing 900s,one footed backflips,30 ft. gaps, supermans, SUPERMAN NOTHINGS!!!. Its hard for mountainboarders to find places that will allow or want contests. help me out with some info. on how i could get mountainboard contest along side bmx or mountainbikes, that would be sweet.

thanks for the input
