While reading over the schedule for NAUCC '08, I noticed that the
setting up of the street course takes place right after the trials
section. I'm really hoping this isn't a repeat of last year where the
street course is just thrown together off the trails obstacles.

I am not totally sure where the street comp will be held - but I do
know that this is one of the competitions that is very important to the
organizers of this NAUCC. I will bring this to the attention of the
organizers.

Shaun, since you're so close to the event this year, will you be able
to help out and possibly visit and find a more appropriate place if the
trials materials shouldn't be used?

BTW - I've noticed that you're not registered for NAUCC (or Unicon
either!). Are you planning on attending both?

a great disappointment as well as a slap in the face for America.

Poor America, can't even afford a Street course. 🙂 Yes, last year's
setup was not the best. Though I don't know what makes a great Street
course, that one seemed to be pretty limited, as well as being too
spread out and hard to watch or photograph.

But now you've got an invitation to be a direct contributor to a
solution. I'm sure the folks in Rapid City would love your help if it's
possible for you. What makes a good Street course as opposed to a good
Trials course anyway? The part that's obvious to me is sight lines; the
judges, spectators (and photographers) need to be able to see well.
Unfortunately a skate park can only be used if there is one, if it's
possible to set up there, and (the hard part) if the hosts can get
permission to use it.

I've seen very very impressive trials courses. lol. I do understand the
difficulty of using a skatepark. However, if there is time, building a
few seperate obstacles just for the street course, then using also some
parts from the trials course, would be good enough. I'm more worries
about the rail and ledge situation. They need to be slanted to be good
unfortunently. Nothing needs to be built very high to be good (FLUCK
2007). Then maybe a 5 set and 3 set would be prime. For showing up
early, is totally possible. I will have Kelly and Spencer at my house
weeks before hand just riding and enjoying summer. If NAUCC wants us
out there early I would love to help with anything needed. Please
someone get in contact with me if interested from NAUCC to discuss
this.
