I just wanted to say thanks to you guys for coming. This last week was so fun! I would be honored if you wanted to do DW '03 here and I got a year to make improvments (trails, facilities, etc). Thanks to all of you who set up the trails and grass track, I owe you guys, I had no idea trails could be that much fun and wait till you see what Guy and I come up with for next year (if you want to come back). Thanks again and it was nice getting to meet you all!
Thanks!!!!!1

Thanks for having us! You certainly have a great place Chris, and the work you put into it is amazing. You were an excellent host and it was fun to watch you ride. I hope that we'll be there again next year. DW will be all grown up by then. :)

Even though you ride a fruity bike..... You put on one hell of an event! There are only two track owners (that I have run across) that I would consider experts at listening and catering to riders and spectators. You're one of the two! You are a class act and prep a track like no one that I have seen! Thanks for the great memories!
I'm gonna drag out Sarge's little dude and pay homage to ya! :worship:

Kris, you're awesome!! :worship:
I hope we have DW'03 at Cooperland because I had an awesome time on the track and out in the woods. Cooperland has EVERYTHING!! Thanks for hanging out with us down in the pits. You're an amazing young dude and you've accomplished quite a lot more than most at your age. :thumb:

Brownie, just tell me when you wanta work on trials and I'll be there and have a crew of workers as well. Just ask Coop about our abilities. He's seen our work at the 500 during the enduro. ;)
Great job. You did good!!
Great job. You did good!!
great design for a track! the sheer quantity of dirt required would prevent most people from making more than about 1 or 2 jumps like that!
Gotta love the two camel back shaped jumps...like a small step up with a final ramp at the end! Also the big step up!
The small double in the section behind the starting gate was great practice for turning a bit while jumping.

Brownie - Thanks for a wonderful time. Some would say that I didn't learn a thing about your trails or track ... (I did ride 20 minutes) that is true, but I did enjoy your facilities, (Some could have been closer ...) anything I can do to help achieve the facility of your dreams ... count on it.

You rule! Thanks for taking the time to talk to me during the cornering class. I really hope we can come back next year. Riding at Cooperland was a dream come true for me.
I still can't believe it's over. :whiner:

Kris,
I never really got a chance to talk you much (probably becasue you were so busy taking care of us, the track & everything else) but i would like to thank you for a great week of riding. :thumb:
It was great seeing all of our DRN gang together & your facility was a fantastic place to have DW02'.
It all happened so fast! I know i'll have postpartum depression for the next week or so. :whiner:

Kris,
Helluva Job! :aj: I've had the pleasure of riding Cooperland from the transition from the Coopers, to the Reeds, to your capable hands. You've given Cooperland the time Cooper's busy schedule wouldn't allow and the racer-first priority the Reeds didn't care to provide. As we were pullin' out Sat. my boy (#141) said, "Man, I love that track!" then, "Dad? When are we comin' back to Cooperland? Do you know when their next race is? Are they having practice TOMORROW?"
Thanks, Kris!

^^^^^ it would also double the width of the trails ..... Ambulances need a LOT of room ... The trails only lacked for attention. There is some great terrain. Some 30 or 40 foot stream crossings would have been nice ....
Brownie, name the date and I'll bring the tools.I bet I can get a few of the trails oriented HS and NTSP guys!

Hey Brownie - it was a pleasure meeting you! Sweet track! And damn you're one fast dude, too! We had a great time down there and would do it again in a heartbeat. Just take maybe 3-5 feet off that step-up landing so I can do it next year will ya? ;)
If you ever make it up this way for any races - let us know. Heck - maybe we'll see ya at your regional next year!
Thanks for being such a great host :thumb:

The thanks should go to you brownie! Great facility. I know that you worked realy hard on the keeping the track watered and prepped. Heck you even did a rain dance to get us a little water for the harescrable;) I had an awsome time. I'm not much of a track rider. It did play alot on the mini track. I hurt my knee before I got the guts to get on the big track. It was the first track I have ever been on. I loved the woods loop and grass track. I realy wished there was more of it. I am more of a trail rider than a mx guys. I'm glad that you found another aspect to riding. I would love to see the event at your place next year. Like it was said above its great to see an owner of a place that love riding as much as you do! I would love to see what you and Guy come up with for the woods next year (just don't make it to hard on us slow guys :eek: ). Creek crossing and hills are great fun :yeehaw:
Thanks again man :aj:

DW'03 at Cooperland where only the owner is Brown!
You bet I'm all over that!! You have a super sweet setup and are the first track owner I've ever run across that actually listens to the riders. We do have to talk a little bit about some trials (not trails, ask Guy about the seatless bike thing ;) ). It's a little bit of a haul but I'd be up for a long weekend trip to help make improvements (and ride) :)
