Well, I think it is of utmost importance to try and get more folks to these events. I want to show you that you can go race a National event with the basic equipment you should already have and if you dont like it, well you haven't spent two hours beating your machine senseless in XC , or cased a jump you had no business trying anyway in mx.
And please, don't think this is a cake walk but I would suffice to say it is probably one of the easiest and funnest races you can try. Maybe you stick with it or maybe you decide to try a MX or XC race, point is, get out there and TRY it!!
