Ian--did you get any good photos?     Rate post 243634 !

In the early days of speedboard...hehehe back when Kludy was a young man!!!LOL the speedboarders were always given the choice of racing or not due to rain (read-wet course). In the last several years the class as a whole has gone for it and found most can and will race in the rain. That being said....gravity races are very expensive to put on and these expenses cannot be recovered because mother nature showers us so we have always said "race rain or shine", if a racer feels they cannot/will not race in the rain and the event does occur then it is their choice to sit out and forfeit the entry. A lot of work goes into registration and bracketing to get ready for the races and a rider taking themselves out of the event can cause even more work to redo the brackets to ensure they are fair for the remaining riders. Any rider who does not wish to race due to rain will still be allowed to ride the course during the practice runs (which occur all day, both days) so that they may gain experience if they wish. Riders who sign up for practice only who wish not to ride due to weather will be given a refund on Sunday after the event if they have not ridden over the course of the weekend.     Rate post 243007 !

Basically he wants to know if he pre-registers and doesn't go because of rain if he can get a refund. Thanks also....anyone have a spare dh plate they want to sell?     Rate post 242945 !

I like that and dont need the metal at the end because I can race all as I feel the need to . Thats very cool that you guys would do that and you guys and girl that do let me know and I will make a run or two with you. No worries, I made the money to pay the full price but it is very cool that you can ride a big hill like that so cheap!This race is the only race that makes bio trading cards for there riders and gives so much just for two days of fun!

The registration form for MCGF is accurate that there is a charge for the ability to practice each day, anyone who is found using the course without proper registration will be asked to leave immediately. I'm sure there are riders in the past who have paid for one day and taken two they were just not caught.     Rate post 242432 !

Just a reminder that pre-registration is cheaper than onsite and you can pay in several different ways (ie check, money order, credit card etc- onsite will be cash only). Also something new: Want to avoid the long registration lines??? Complete registration and pre-pay!!! This year GSI will be giving something new a try at Madison County Gravity Festival-Express Registration Line. Those who have completed registration online and either pay online or in advance (no later than July 23, 2006) will be able to check in by using the express registration line. You must have the following complete by the above date in order to use this line: 1 Correct registration online (no changes at registration). 2 Payment in full. At the course BEFORE entering the line you must: 1 Complete and sign a medical form. 2 Complete and sign an event waiver form. At registration you will be asked for current id, proof of current medical insurance and hand in your medical and waiver forms. These will be matched with the registration form we have on file for you and you can then head to tech inspection.     Rate post 241843 !

Many rely on it, and it has great visibility. Just take a look in any CW magazine and you will see many using this helmet. I'm not looking for a rating, just to know if I can use it at Munnsville because this is my only helmet. And I bet it is safer than almost all of those aero helmets that people use     Rate post 241789 !

Pretty much the whole Landyachtz team is on them, as well as countless others. People have been known the crash on them and they hold up very well.     Rate post 241460 !
