    He took 1st place today and took the overall, so he was very stoked to collect a medal and a plaque for his efforts.. I know I am a bit biased but his helmet cam below of today's run is absolutely sick!! I could not be more proud of what he has done within his first season of racing. He raced 4 out of 5 events, posted 1st, 3rd, 2nd and 1st respectively.. 2nd place came in 18.5 seconds behind him in today's race. I think he was extra pumped to be wearing his new Troy Lee/The Path race kit!! The competition among the little guys has been close all series and it's been a blast to be a part of it..

    Awesome....looks like he waves at someone (you?) at around 2:58.....remind him not to do that during the UCI Word Cup Downhill Championship in about 7 years......

    Yeah Oz I saw that... I told him what are you doing waving to someone, what if you wiped out right there from doing that?? The guy was the dad of one of the racers in the 11-12 group he has become friends with.. I said I appreciate you trying to be polite but he does not expect you to wave when you're grinding it out.. too funny..
