1st Practice Day

Just got back from the first pro practice. They marked the course off a lot better, removed some stumps and roots. People are flying, the new section of the course is still very sketchy and if you hit your brakes you will be drifting sideways. Saw at least a dozen riders crash, only one bad where you could see the guys muscle. The course is very dry and a little dusty. I got some photos, but this internet connection sucks. I will go to the media room later and give you guys some photos. Oh ya, and the cheater line around barney ruble is marked off, and you will have to hit the hip at the end of the course since they marked off the grass.
