The only spectating, though, is at the end of the course at BZ Corner. The number of spectators is limited to protect the trails and the environment, so arrive early. Mountain biking: Super D downhill race 9 a. Saturday, July 19 Amateurs are advised to just watch this one.
Post Canyon, where the event takes place, "has such demanding terrain that it's actually in video games," games co-owner Josh Ryan says.
There's a 3,foot elevation drop over about four and a half miles in the Super D, with foot jumps and narrow bridges 20 feet off the ground, with safety nets. Paramedics on mountain bikes will be standing by. Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission. All rights reserved About Us.

Their equipment might be OK, but of not these items are the easiest to set up ahead of time and swap out fast.
Also, bring your own cymbals in case their's are crap. Bring some duct tape and a multi clamp or two if you have them in case the tom mounts or floor tom legs aren't working. And I'm never shy about tightening up the heads if they are too loose.
I figure why should I suffer if the sound guys don't know mess about tuning drums. Don't let them use your stuff. You'll never be able to relax and enjoy yourself while the other hammer handed drummers are beating the hell out of your stuff. I promote festivals every year where this situation comes up, and provide the backline for all the bands.
There's no pleasing everyone, but the majority are happy enough with a standard 22''"" set, as long as it's in good shape and I make sure it is, usually it's my 80's vintage Tamas, which are better than what some of these drummers own sets would have been, and they know it. I request that they all use the backline set, because there's a lot of bands and only barely enough time between sets to swap out the cymbals, pedal or snare and do a couple of quick adjustments.
Whenever I had let anyone use their own in the past, I ran into overtime, so now I make very few exceptions. There's a good reason why promoters request this, it prevents a LOT of problems that you, as a musician, don't - and shouldn't have to - know or care about. Like having to soothe the ego of the headlining band's prima donna vocalist who is upset about going on behind schedule, while arguing with the sound guy about compensation for a mic that got dropped and damaged during the hectic, unscheduled switch-over, while the sound levels are now off until re-adjusted, while the audience gets restless and the whole feel of the festival starts to lose momentum.
And make sure you do it FAST. Of course, you already set most of it up backstage and have a couple of guys lined up to move it into place on the double. Luddite Mostly intentional comic relief. The backline thing is a mixed bag, isn't it? I've played stuff that put my personal kit to shame and stuff that was just about unplayable. If you have 15 minutes, you should be able to get the "meat and potato" of the kit comfortable enough for you with a minimum of changing stuff in and out.
If they're set on you using the backline snare, at least get it to where it will be playable for you positionally. Most multi-act stage crews are concerned about getting the acts in and out with the least amount of fuss, so anything you do in that regard would no doubt be appreciated. The biggest thing for me has always been bass drum pedal, hi-hat stand and throne. If I'm comfortable with them, everything else tends to fall into place.
If the extraneous stuff is out of whack with my preferences, I just ignore 'em! Lugwid User of Agop Cymbals! Certainly you have a contract for the gig, I will give you the line I always put in ours: Where available please supply a Hammond B3 organ and two speed Leslie cabinet. Bass rig can be shared if it is 4x10 or 8x10 with capable head again contact management first. Click to expand I play 1 up and 2 down and as already stated most backlines are standard 5pc or fusion set ups. That is just part of the gig.
Get up play your stuff and get out. I guess it is funny that guitar players are exempt from this but they usually have to use the amps provided. My band "hosted" a benefit once were we provided the gear and all though I have top gear everybody bitched. I have 13x12, 16, 18, 24 with the 13 on a stand. All rights reserved About Us.
