I know what boarder cross and skier cross racing is... should I assume
that
mountain cross is the same thing, with four bikes starting down the
course
at once? Just wondering as it's one of the NORBA events that I'll be
marshalling ( maybe) For sure, the XC pros race and the Pro Dh practice
runs.

Heh...I guess you didn't see the Snowshoe 4x course.

If it was BMX the bikes would have no suspension, only a rear brake,
there'd
be more jumps, more passes and every rider would have more style than

Look at a bmx track. Look at a mountain cross course. Look at a
singletrack through the woods. I rest my case.

Just because there are jumps on the course does not make it a BMX track.

Let me see....man made huge stupid jumps, berms, etc = bmx.
Singletrack through the mountains = mountain biking. What part of
that do you not get Stevie?

If I ride through the singletrack on a 'crosser am I mountain biking?

Mountian cross is what it is, t'aint BMX and t'aint mountain biking. Oh and
'huge stupid jumps' sounds like someones a wee bit jealous because they need
to brush up on there bike handling skills...
