2011 State Finals
Team,
Congrats to the Girls on their TOTAL sweep of the 2011 season! And also congrats to the boys for their hard-earned second place for the division, and third place at the state finals.
We had some bad luck for both the boys and girls for the individuals this year. But lets give it up for Alex Rew who fought her way to take 4th in the Finals for the girls!
Jake and I would like to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone that came out friday and cheered on the kids. Our spread of food was HUGE. I appreciate the efforts of all of everyone as it made for a great experience.
So that's the State Finals for 2011 ... 4 ambulance calls, broken chairlifts, DQ's, near-fights and crazy finishes. Sounds like a perfect chaos-filled finish to a boardercross season. The results are posted up on the blog.
I will be contacting everyone soon with information about the banquet.
Thanks for a great season! I look forward to 2011/2012.

Time Trials 2-8-11. SIGN IN BEFORE 5pm.
Tonight is the Individual Time Trials for the State Finals. I hope you've got your COLD wax on!
Here's the list of those who will be running in the time trials. I am limited to how many riders can try out for the time trials this year. We will be running the time trials in the order similar to a race. So A1 riders will go first. This gives some wait time for everybody else. So stick around at the bottom and keep warm until your group is up.
As always - sign in at 5pm. Wait until the course is open for inspection.

2-3-11 Results and upcoming
The results from 2-3-11 are posted to the blog.
Great race last night! The girls had a 1st place sweep! I saw big improvements in starts last night.
I haven't heard who we'll be racing against yet form the other league. Sounds like we might not know until next week.
Time trials are tuesday. Looks like it will be cold, so use your cold wax. I'll send out a list of who will be doing the time trials on monday.
Just a reminder that even though you may not be racing in the State Final, you will be excused from school on that day if you choose to come out and cheer on your team. Everyone is responsible for their own transportation to the hill.

2-3-11 Lineup
Team-
I was just holding off to make sure the race was on for today ... and it's a GO!
Today is the State Final Qualifier. The First and Second place teams go to the state final on 2-11-11. There's a lot riding on this race. We need to race clean and fast. NO DQ's! We will not be doing Charlie gates today. But I still need Charlie riders to stick around. Remember - If I need to replace a rider, the Charlie riders are first on the list. Lets have all riders that aren't racing hang out at the bottom near the finish shack.
I need EVERYONE to be at the finish shack before 5pm today and stay there until Jake or I announce the course is open for inspection. I also want everyone to stick around for the whole race, and then for a meeting after so we can go over what will happen for next week.
Now - go wax your board!

2-1-11 Results etc. ..
The results are posted to the blog form 2-1-11 Double meet.
A couple of things we need to address....
Thursday will be the State Final Qualifier. The First and Second place teams of the boys and girls go to the State Finals. If there is no school, there will have to be a decision made about what is going to happen. I will let you know as soon as I know.
Tuesday the 8th will be the Individual State Finals Qualifier. It is a time trial format just like what we did the first of the year. The only difference is that I am only allowed to Time Trial 5 Alpha, 5 Bravo and 5 Charlie riders. I will post that list Monday.
There will be emails going out soon for food and refreshment volunteers for the State Finals .... when you respond, please make sure to REPLY ALL.
We're planning on having a wax party the night before the State Finals. The Dudas family has volunteered their home for us to all get prepared for the race. I'll forward information once we get closer.
A couple of things we need to address....
- You are NOT allowed to ride the hill during the break. Alpine leaves the chairlift open for us to continue racing. Riders are NOT allowed to go anywhere else but to the top of the course.
- There is no reason to miss a gate. The next 2 races can be won or lost by one missed gate. 5th place is better than a DQ. If the last race where to happen again tomorrow night, the boys would not be going to the State Finals.
- Charlie riders - I need you to stick around for the whole race. I know it was rough yesterday because of the cold, but when I have an injured rider that needs to be replaced in the lineup, I can only use a Charlie rider.
