need to do these as soon as the exam period is over so that our riders get the best positions. 13th or 14th of feb would be the best days to do it if everyone is free then. the top four riders will have the best starting positions for the race so if you don't go to the seeding you wont get the chance to start with the faster riders when it comes to race day.
we could do the seeding at wharncliffe again, i can think of two tracks we could use: nemba as usual or the one i know as 'track with no name' which starts on fast track and goes off to the right after the small roller before the flatter rocky section. if anyone thinks of somewhere better then we can vote on what people want to do. let me know if you can make it or not and which track you'd most like to do it on.

the fast track mod is good. I prefer that to nemba. If the marin is built in time, i'll come along to this.

probs won't have a bike for this, but i think it only matters if you haven't raced BUCS before, fairly sure they base it on the previous year's results?...
would be well up for some timed runs on the ht though.

We name our four champions, thats what the seeding is for, then Paddy has asked for a list in rank order.
Im reserving my right for the wooden spoon.
I like the idea of fast track mod, but where will we finish? On the fireroad as its just a non existent drop to flat.

Mybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone. Why don't u do ur seeding runs for bucs on one of the tracks in Wharncliffe that i want 2 use for Urban X Rampage 2. Then u will know where it is and can session it as many times as u like b4 the event. I am available any weekend and if u need any help with timing r whatever just let me know....i would b glad 2 help. prob be a good idea, how far away are the 2 tracks from say nemba? but yeh prob be best, cos then if they aint ridden as much they'll prob be better to use considering it'll be the weekend and the main tracks will be busy

What are your races? Are they official and ok'ed by the FC? Would we gain anything or just draw more attention.

is the tech one just up from the bottom of the xc downhill section? is there a jump at the bottom over a fairly deep gully and does it have a steep, slightly off-camper rock section at the start? if so, that's a pretty good track, longer than you think and it is pretty technical compared to the rest of the stuff in wharny. i could probably go one day this weekend.

Yeah Urban X Rampage 2 sounds gnarcore my stokage meter is off the scale for it. I was super bummed i missed Urban X Rampage 1. Dave i heard a rumour the super talented ripper riding for team punter and winner of Urban X Rampage 1 is there too, check his race photo www.flickr.com/photos/pepe007/4031720381/in/pool-descent-world. sick to the power rad. p.s. noob question, whats the format for a rampage i've only done races, im guessing its the same just i have to get more pumped up yeah?

I think wen you do a rampage you just dont really bother with formats or even tracks, theyre all about hookin as far and as goonish as pos!!
