Right on!!! You're rockin'!
Like I said, you're a quick learner!

As a side note, I may be picking up a new toy on Saturday morning on my way to Fontana, via a quick stop in Temecula. I may be able to play with it on Sunday.

Still riding the good ol' Aonic in 4X. The new frame isn't ready yet.

Haha Fred I was too quick for ya.
No real rock gardens just flowy dirt and berms. I didn't see but heard lower garden cuts around same as last time.
Realized today I need to replace my stanchion tube on the Marzocchi

scratch caused the seal to leak. One more thing...

Keith B · 03-07-2008, 09:47 PM

Great day out there for everyone. I had a good day despite the flat with about a quarter mile to go and no spare. (Glad I cross train with some running!) I ran it in and got fourth place for the race along with 4th place overall for the series! I have to say I am super stoked, its really what I've been shooting for since I started. A big thank you to all of the STR supporters out there.

4x was typical for me, last place...but its only my 3rd race and I'm feeling more confident each time I do it. This summer some changes will be made to the bike overall and I'm hoping in November they'll run 4x and I'll get a chance to test it out.

I'm looking forward to the pictures to come thanks to all of out STR camera people they're great.

I'd also like to send out a Prop for the day to Mudman, he took a nasty fall in practice and could barely walk but he still got up to the starting gate an hour or two later and completed his two runs!!! He could barely pedal but he's a trooper. U Da Man! Da Mudman!

Sharky · 03-08-2008, 06:57 PM

I'll get crackin on the 4X pics but major congrats to all those racing today. A few of the STR crew had bobbles or took dirt samples during 4x racing or practice but still shined!! Proud of you all. Don't be disappointed you had fun and there's a lifetime of races.
Huge thanks to Bob Burnes for the hookup on an E-thirteen chain guide and Dylan Dean for the NEMA podium shorts.

Rumor has it he may be sportin lycra tomorrow in DH as some sort of STR initiation Heather and I will hook him up with a special designer pair.

See ya tomorrow and check back for photos.

I think its cushion to keep the vital stuff like ribs from breaking. Who needs pads when we've got fat!

Rockinthecasbah · 03-08-2008, 07:58 PM

mudmans gonna be hurting tommorow he took the bar way hard to the thigh, at leats thats better then taking one to the spleen. We both added some new scratches too out x fisons and blakc markets
moral of the story sometimes you have to back off when the track is nasty, and dont try new lines in a race or you may end up taking a tire to the head and doing a bellyflop
