    And now for a little carnage.

    Do you think he can recover?

    If anyone wants pictures of themselves, this is how you get them. Crash right in front of the photographer.

    nice! that's a good clean run you put together there. just needa STAND UP AND PEDDLE for the wall ;)

    seriously, digging deep inside and pulling out some last bit of energy to mash that thing has amazing results time-wise. faster you go, the faster you're done with it

    He was wearing a GT T-Shirt during practice.

    Maybe they're still working on getting him some bikes.

    Great weekend. I was out there on Friday riding, and took some runs Saturday morning. Being back on the bike makes me want to drop the camera and start racing again. I might get in one race this year.

    It was good to meet you guys out there. most of my friends dont race anymore so i dont know a lot of people at southridge anymore.

    4X practice and race are online. Im working on uploading DH practice and the race today. I have been going through the pictures and there are some good ones.

    here the 4X link.

    congratulations to all of those who did good. And if you didnt do good then at least you had fun... if you didnt do good and didnt have fun then you should find a different sport.:beer:

    I had A great weekend what a fun course. Took one small spill Saturday morning on the first shake-down run. Had a nice wash-out very first run first corner this morning. Otherwise I thought all was well.

    Like I said I thought all was well. Had a great top section probable the fasest all weekend. got up and over the saddle. I was worried about finding the right gear all weekend and got it perfect in the race. Made the quick little right left got my few peddels in and whoops there goes the front tire.

    Jumped up as fast as I could and put together a great finish got a 15th in sport 27-34 with a crash. Can't wait to get back out there.

    Congrats to all.
    383N if you got any randow pics.
    Hopefully one of my fall but I'm not sure if anyone was even there I was trying to get going so fast.

    Edit: P.S. I did not get caught.
