Default Fontana DH/4X practice 3-07-08

If anyone is asking, NO I have not gotten tired of Fontana yet.

I plan to be there around 12pm-1pm and start off on the 4X track to warm up- then push over to the DH section and practice the track a handful of times. Afterwards we will head back down to the 4X track and practice the rest of the day on that untill the sun goes down.

Perhaps dinner afterwards...

Won't be able to make it out on Friday, I'm hoping for Wednesday if the babysitter isn't still sick with the flu.

In the meantime try this link for a bit o' really cool 4x action and some sweet DH action at the end.

Ghaleon109 [03-04-2008 10:25 PM] - Steph and Mike will be there EAIRLY. Might be gone by the time everyone gets there again =/

Ghaleon, I won't get there until about 1pm. Why so early?

You should race this weekend! I'll be giving 4X a shot just to see what its like- Afterall thats what my new bike is for.

why dont you say hi to me instead??
It'll be easier to spot me- I'll be on the coolest looking 4X bike at the track. Whether or not I can actually do well with it is a completely different story. Can't wait to race the bike, not looking forward to bumping elbows though. The Mud loves revenge.

There hasn't been to much elbow bumping in the beginner class...well wait a minute how the hell would I know I've always been at the back. Gill was nice and never threw an elbow, I think he was just humoring me by riding with me part way down and then just blew me away when he'd had enough of me!

Sounds like Gil alright, I'll be practicing all of Friday so hopefully that'll give me enough ammo to do well. I've only done 4X riding 5 times now I think- and it gets more fun everytime.

you missed the main jman, someone block passed me so hard it was more of a block, make me fall, then pass.

but no more 4x for me untill i get in better shape. it kills me and ruins me for DH.

on topic now, i might be there. but hopefully i will get a call saying that my 40 is in. hope so.

If any of you have a Marzocchi air adapter could you bring it today. I'm just bringing the 7 point but the fork needs adjusting and can't find mine?
Thanks !!
