which disapline did you race at XC, endurance or Downhill/Freeride?
I mainly did the Downhill and Endurance team racing 24hr races were my favs i would do the the majority of the night laps with HID lights its was much more fun night riding the rush is incredible.

Hobbit, I mainly raced XC, did the local DH races, I was old school there, shorts and a t-shirt for me, no turtle shells here. More incentive to keep the bike upright. I wouldn't get a bike w/an engine then, liked to go fast to much. We also did some of the first 24 hr events in the states. I was lucky, I knew a lot of the folks in WV that organized the events. Raced Pro/expert level. Love West Virginia (WV) riding, IMO, it's the best.
