  1. heat and dust... reviewing my photos I can still taste the dust.

    What a fun four days. It's going to take a few days to sort through the photos, , but
    here's a teaser.

    www.specialtyoutdoors.com/images/norba/norba1.jpg

    Craig took this during the expert DH practice session. This is the crux of the run, "alter boy". I
    was marshalling up above, sorting out the riders when we would have bog-downs as the riders session
    the run. Otherwise know as someone having a sphincter moment on this move, and riders having to wait
    for them to either get out of the way or just ride the thing. Beginners and sport had a different
    section here. This thing really got to some folks, one pro woman threw her bike down it in disgust
    during practice. Two folks were carried out on backboards. All but one pro woman and all the pro
    guys nailed
    it. More photos later.

    I marshalled beginner and expert DH practice, semi pro/expert men XC, the beginner & sport XC (
    included tandems. SS and clydes, plus jr kids) and the short track. I"d rather be doing something
    than just stand around.

    note on the photo: this guy is too far over to the right.

    Killer!!! I was just reading some race ports earlier this evening. Sounds like it was a pretty nasty
    course and your picture seems to confirm. Great shot...can't wait to see the rest.

    This weekend was the British National Champs, and some kid stopped in the middle of the course.
    Steve Peat shouted at him to 'get out the

    Unfortunately, said kid's mother didn't agree and came over to Peaty's team truck later to give
    him an earful about his language and his responsibility as a role model.

    His right? Or our right as we look at the photo? Going to our left looks a little more tricky,
    although we can't see the run-out.

    the best lines (according to riders) was rider's left, not on on the right. If you stayed right, the
    long line and landing was not nice

    working on photos as we speak.

    I know, but I've never heard of an 'alter boy'. Is it a play on words then?

    Hmm, the topside line definitely looks more friendly.

    That'd be my guess. Hit it wrong and you could be 'altered', boy! ;^)
