Southridge winter series #1 Race Report (merged threads)

No report because I'm too slow to actually ride, but I've got pictures from the XC races today. I know it's a pain to sift through one big gallery, and the best I can do is sort by chronological order.

Thanks.

Just a few of my favorites....

 

All 15 pages and not a single one of me

 

thanks for the pics, can a steal a few????

 

I didnt know that "rock climb thing" was a sport/pro split. I dont recall seeing a sign for that part. If thats true then there are 3 splits, correct? :?:

 

yes. 1st is after the first chicane section (pro/ex drop a rock roller to the right)

2nd is the rock face thing

3rd is the drop

 

Really needed to quote all the pics to say that?#-o

 

4x

First time to the races had a great time as a Spectator, everyone out there looked great. Heres a quick pic from one of the 4X races hopefully it's of some STR Folks

 

yep...did I anger you :lol:

3rd place clydesdale 421ZG

I placed 3rd in clydes..... great trail..... i had a great time with the big boys...... looking forward to next race....

 

You can also edit the post and delete the links to the pics.

I have about 50 more pictures that weren't posted. I'll look through them if you'd like, but most of them are of flowers, birds and ants, so I wouldn't hold my breath. lol Post a picture of you in your kit and I'll look for you next time. Sorry I missed ya this time around.

 

No problem, do whatever you like

 

Nice job on 2nd in Super-D, Paul! I have no doubt in my mind you would've placed top-3 in your XC class, if not for your broken chain. Stop buying used crap!

Cody, well done, big man.

Did Edmund race and if so, how did he do? I haven't been following so I have no idea!

 

I didn't get a lot of shooting in yesterday but there are a few...
edit - remove links...

 

Joe, Edmond is on the IR. He had a bad crash and landed on his head at a BMX event a few weeks ago.

Paul and Cody........good job!

 

Nice pictures--great quality. They seem to have been getting better over the years!

Head still hurts a little from yesterday. I always try to shake that stuff off, but I tihnk I would be stupid to not take a concussion seriously.

Good luck to everyone racing DH today. Pin it!

 

So, I had a great weekend (as I always hope to at fontucky). got to ride a pretty sweet DH track, gotta catch up with some friends, and gotta make some new ones as well.

Decided to move to expert this year, since I wanted a better challenge, and access to the better courses that have been cropping up at SRC events lately (Donny, if you read this keep it up!). seems like it wasn't as terrible of a decision as I had thought. ended up with 19th place of 32ish, and a 2:46 time. doesn't sound great, but I'm still pleased.

looking forward to the next race. congrats to everyone that won, good luck next time to everyone that didn't, and heal up fast to everyone that didnt get the chance to start or finish :beer:

Also, if anyone has any pictures, I'd be stoked to see them. 251E, black royal kit, giant reign.

oh, and canuck, that is an amazingly good picture of denmo on the 4X track. well done :clap:

 

It was a great day out there I took alloooottt of pics almost 1000, I tried to get every rider in, missed a few but theres alott of multi action shots "Carnage" Im gonna edit and make as a .rar file so you can download all. Denmother great meeting you out there as well as everyone I got to talk with.

 

I took a couple of picks here is the link.
