It's been a bit of tradition for George to have beer sprayed at him during race runs at Mountain Creek. Since when? About 2004. This ain't London so don't worry about it.

Oh man you called it the flat coast, Zing!! Sounds more like you're angry that the "flat coast" has yet another legit, lift-accessed park near a major metro area. That makes at least 6 within a 5 hour drive of each other (many people can get to any 3 in under 2 hrs) while Oregon has exactly how many lift access bike parks? World Cup races, bikes parks, a bloated local race scene, all within easy drive of some of America's biggest cities jut pails in comparison too. . . actually, you're right, it totally blows. At least you can always eat those sour grapes when it's your turn to drive the shuttle rig while your friends are riding.
