If I get my bike in time, get it set up and broken in, I'll be there. Stumpjumper is usually tougher than Sandy Lane. Long tight jersey shredding morning loop, and faster whooped out firecuts in the afternoon. The long deep sand whoop sections suck with rock tuned suspension, I'd rather thread the needle through the trees.
Pine Hill in May was always an easier run that let you work on timekeeping. New trail boss last year made it a whooped out killer.
You can run the same tire for many south Jersey enduros, and pipes and pegs rarely get bent. Chains, sprockets, and all the pivot points are what take a beating from the sand if you ride there a lot. Plastic can get torn off in the stick farms as well. Notice the rad grills on the trail?
