SUPER D SERIES!

What's that you say? 
A SUPER D in MISSOULA this summer !?!?!?

You heard correctly! MT Alpha has joined forces with Marshall Mountain to bring you a downhill experience you will never forget. 

Question #1: What is a Super D?

          A super D is a cross between XC racing and downhill racing (Read: Less climbing, more descending) 


Cross between Sam Schultz and Danny Hart. 

Hot right!? 

We all know who Sam is. For those less fortunate of you, who don't know of the other baby faced bike racing hunk, I will shed a little light: Meet Danny-

Let's not forget Sam can huck his hot meat too...

What a dreamboat.
I mean what more could you want in a man.....I mean a race?

Okay, back to the racing. 

Question 2: How is the course different from the Wednesday Night Beer Leagues Course?
           Less climbing.

Less suffer fest in the 5pm 100 degree cookout heat (which we all willingly endure for the glory of the downhill and the ability to say, "I did three laps on the Pro XC course this week").

This will be a bit less Type A; a bit more hanging; and a lot of fun. You won't be racing uphill (well, not much anyway).  You'll be walking and/or soft pedaling your bike (which can be anything from a big DH bike with 72 in of travel, or your carbon 29er hardtail) up the road.  Maybe with a cold beverage (i.e. soda pop) in hand.


Question 3: Is it a mass start?
        No. Starting format will be one at a time with intervals between racers. You vs. Trail. You vs. The Clock. No excuses about Heidi throwing elbows or Horan running into your wheel at the start or Jensen passing you on the uphill only to be a real donkey on the downhill. Just you and the trail.

The lovely MT Alphas will be up at Marshall with pulaskies in the next few weeks building the start to the Super D and then adding a few additional features throughout the summer. The course itself will be the same as the downhill section of the XC Course. Should be amazing.

Question 4:  What do I do with my kids while I'm racing? 

     We've got a kids clinic each evening of the Super D and a final kids race on the last day of the Super D.  Check back here for more information!  

Get psyched Missoula!  Super D Series is going to be the hottest thing since MT Alpha hit the trails! 

No preregistration!  RACE DAY REGISTRATION ONLY!  

NOTE: "A Line" not mandatory for all racers (exception: BIKE DOC crew must hit it)
