The newly formed Hudson United Racing Team is officially launching the new online home for team skiers. Visit this site for movies, race schedules, skier profiles, training opportunities and a host of nordic ski links. The address is hurtnordic.netne.net
(Please note the non-traditional suffix at the end of the address....free hosting does that sometimes)
Some important info....
The 2009-2010 HURT squad is an ambitious and dedicated group of nordic athletes with a wide range of skiing and racing backgrounds. The diversity of this group is a true asset in their pursuit to win the NYSSRA series points title. The core founders of the group are skiers who organized themselves after participating in a series of Unaffiliated training sessions hosted by the UUSRS organization staff. Those Wednesday night training session will continue through the fall and winter and continue to move around to venues around Saratoga, Albany and Warren counties.
However, for infomation on the training events do not expect a post from the old UUSRS blog. Please visit the new TEAM SCHEDULE found at hurtnordic.netne.net. HURT Team Director, Aaron Huneck, in an unprecedented financial move, bought out the contracts THE ENTIRE UUSRS staff and hired them to do all the new web work for team H.U.R.T through the 2015 season. When asked about his decision to recruit the seasoned UUSRS staff, and in doing so use most of the team financial war chest, he said "what? you gotta problem? I like the pictures those guys post"
When asked if the teams money would have been better spent on high-flourocarbonated wax he responded with
"FLURA-WAHAT?"
Anyways...whats done is done...and for information on team training visit the google calendar for details.
Aarons final question by the press asked if the team had been fully finalized for the 2009-2010 season. Aaron said "Not by a long shot. We have a great group but I want to go after NYSEF! I have made some calls, cashed in some favors, spoken to my peeps, and have a very influential person probing the area for more speed. Hopefully we can get more skiers signed before the flakes fly." Aaron would not reveal the name of his nordic source. He just kept referring to him/her as "DEEP SNOW"
Who is Deep Snow? Nobody seems to know.
