I end up working really hard to stay with smoother riders on fast barriers -- it doesn't change the face of the race any more than any other 20-yard stretch, sure, but that argument could be used for just removing the course entirely.Colin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289923497258059725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8194092483163603235.post-2494825782929333292007-10-18T10:36:00.000-04:002007-10-18T10:36:00.000-04:00high speed barriers are awesome...they separates t...high speed barriers are awesome...<BR/><BR/>they separates those who can and those who can't with rather dramatic results...<BR/><BR/>You should make a point to hit the southington course. Good long sand runs. And a ridable sand pit. AND a nice little hill that may or may not be ridable.<BR/><BR/>High speed barriers separate the true cross skillz mastahs from the dudes who can just ride fast.<BR/><BR/>but then<BR/>i like high speed dismount sections.<BR/><BR/>the faster the better ATMO<BR/>Ggewillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245908398787098575noreply@blogger.com
