FAQ:

Can I use a different bike for Super-D? Oh yeah you can. Why not? The Super-D will be pretty gravity-centric, but your full-on DH rig might not be the perfect weapon of choice. Feel free to bring your Klein Rascal with that punk-rock flex-stem you've been hanging on to all these years. All kidding aside, we'll be making all Super-D's as DH-like (DH-lite?) as possible.

Can I take my competitive DH runs with my bros? Oh yeah, bruther. Oh wait. Change that to "Oh maybe, bruther." CJ Timing is coming out a day early to see if they can make it happen. If not, well then we'll race like we always do...which seems to work pretty well.

Is this a NORBA event? Yup. Because they have that sweet, sweet insurance that makes the resort attorneys smile. Standard licensing rules will apply.

So how's this stage race thingy work?: Easy. There are 3 events at each G3. Keystone will feature 2 DH's and a Super-D. SolVista will also have DH's and a SD. Angel Fire will technically have 3 DH's (Aplha, Beta and World Cup,) but we have to run one like a SD in order to get all the events done on time. Your combined time for each stage determines your place in the overall (and for a fast handful, your place on the box.)

What if I win one stage, but don't race all three? Show 'im the steak knives, Johnny!

Can I just race Super-D? Can I race just one DH? Yup, awards go 5-deep for each stage in each category, but the cash purse is for 3-stage competitors only.

So what're the categories? Good question. They are: Pro Men, Pro Women, Semi-Pro Men, Jedi Master/Old Bull (Vet ProAM/Open 35+), Expert Men, Expert/Sport Women, Sport Men, JR X Men, Junior Men 15-18 & Junior Men 14  and under
