Infineon!

Heres the first update from infineon-
1. The DH course is pretty fast, not one rock, and most of it is off camber. There are a few pretty stupid turns a little pedaling. Within the first 2 hours of practice someone had to be air lifted out which was pretty cool to see, they had to use a basket and stuff (look at the photos) Although one of the shortest courses, it sucks to walk and is nothing but dry brush and everything is slippery. It is very dusty but not too hot because there is a bit of wind. I dont know how this happended but they are shuttling everyone up in brand new 4 door 4x4 tacomas, there are about 10 of them, I think everyone is wondering where the money came from those.

2. HTX (HillCross) eh, its ok, there are 3 turns, yet it is a good distance. The turns are ok and there a few good jumps. The end section is filled with some woops/jumps that pretty much everyone is get screwed on because there are 5 of them and closely spaced. Pro qualifying has just ended and Brian Lopes got the fastes time
