RACE COURSES:
This DH race will offer Double Points in the Plattekill Bike Parks NYS Championship Series. So get your game on. The Delta House Crew have been designing some excellent Cat1/Pro race tracks all season. They’ve been saving this one, which is sure to become a favorite for this holiday weekend. The Cat 1/Pro course will start on everyone’s favorite trail, the Fun Run, cross the ski trail and down Hardcore. After that it will go to some new fast fresh cut, leading to the Wall Drop. The Wall Drop is an exciting and fast four-foot high slate wall that drops you on to a steep and loose section with tons of rocks everywhere. Then the track goes out to the open ski trail, where the Delta House Crew have been using heavy machinery to buil d big jumps and huge berms. This completely new section will be visible from the deck for some great spectator views!!!

The Cat2/Cat3 (beginner/sport) race course will be fast and flowy. It will start on the Triple Chair side of the mountain and will be fun yet challenging as speed increases. Beginners will love it! If you’ve never raced before, this is the race to come try it!

Saturday’s Dual Slalom race will take place at 3pm and is also the NYS Championship Series race in slalom. The race will be held on our all new course which has featured exciting and close racing in the first two races of the series.

Rumor has it FTW may try his luck, if he can find his balls

any pics of that finish line area jump/berm thing?

Not sure if we're using the same as last race or not. I was told it would be all new from higher up the slope

I know of a pair of the correct vintage that pretty much unused, they will be at plattekill to boot

I want to see how fast looked like on that weekend! But, sad to say, I am not able to witness it. However, just like verticult, I also know of a pair of the correct vintage that pretty much unused, and they will be really at plattekill to boot.
