What can I say, the greatest honor in
World Cup organizing is to win the
Rainbow award. Andy and I got it in 99.

Course designer extrodinare Glen Jacobs
work with Sasha to make an intense Dual.
Attila Nagy (Hun) takes the big jumps.

We ended the Dual using the big jump
into the finish area that I set-up
at the end of the DH course.

The Dual race was really exciting on the
steep technical course. Here you can see
that the Giant rider cuts off Lopes (USA).

Brian Lopes was pissed after that, but
he was able to make up for it later.
Of course, the crowd loved it!

see the full photo, you will see how
long a jump the riders had to make.

Miles Rockwell has always been one of
my favorite riders, and we have had
some interesting times at races.

The riders had to take three chairlifts
to get to the top of the 5.4 km course.
It only took 5+minutes to get back down.

One of the most intense parts of the course
was a "V" canyon section that I put in.
Here is race winner Carolane Causson in it.

Here is one of my favorite riders, Dave
Cullinan (USA) at the end of the first "V"
canyon as it intersects with the second.

This is a top view of Missy Giove as
she makes the freaky "V" canyon
intersection.

For me, "Rocks and Roll" was one of my
favorite sections of the course. It
took me 5 trys till I could get down it.
07/20/02
|
Of course, during the race severial riders
like Dalma Kiss (Hun) crashed on the bigger
rocks.
07/20/02
|
Riders like Missy Giove told me that
they had a lot of "fun" on Rocks and Roll.
I would say so!

During the final, Steve Peat was the fastest
thru the rocks. Notice the course tape in
his rear brake, which meant he had none.
07/20/02
|
After the "V" sections, I put in this great
drop-off over big slippery roots.
Here is Shaun Palmer taking it.
07/20/02
|
On the other side of the tree, I painted
a Bullseye on the trunk. Steve Peat thought
it was funny as here rode past it.

A birds eye view of a part of the course
before it goes into the Aleluja drop-off
forest section.

Here is "Cully" launching himself into space
on the jump at the end of the DH run.
Big Air for sure!

|
At the end of the day, it was a French
sweep, with Nico and Causson winning,
with Peat and Donovan second.
07/20/02
|
This is the end of the course, and we
built (Sasha and crew) the Dual course
in the same area.
