Had a great weekend but not such a kind result. Had great practice on the stinky Friday. Awoke saturday not feelin to great and decided to skip Super D. Figures since I had the Enduro SL with me it might be worth a try on the DH course. Well that turned out to be a good decision. Practiced all day Sat on it and Raced it Sunday. I was having a great run could even see the guy in front on the wall. But alas washed out in the dusty corner right by the umbers caller dude. Jumped up and still had a good feeling.

Finished with a 2:42 and 3rd was 2:37. Damn if only I could keep it on the wheels this year.

Congrats to to the Hebrew Hammer on yet another podium.
I love the N class great group. Dirty stay off the DH and let it heal!!!!
 
seems I passed the voodoo on to Spencer then...sorry #-o

got the rest of your pictures up yet sharky?

hey slickshoe, that may've been me, but I don't see a semi-endo anywhere... unless you got any more of 251M?
 
My RR goes like this:
I was lucky to even make it to practice on Sat,I took one practice run - the steep section gave me a run for my $ I knew I needed more practice on it. Had to leave for my nieces 10yr b-day party. Home by 9 in bed for early pre-race practice lap/s, the plan was start at 7am. Never made it out of bed on race day. I was up all night with the flu #-oIt kept me in bed all day yesterday. Bummer ....

See everyone in 2 weeks.

Great times as usual.

Nice Shots Sharky! Tight and focused. Beautiful work, girl! I can taste the sand and feel the grit between my teeth. Ptooey!
 
Great race! Nice people!

Wanna just say thx to those people who were really cool and friendly out there. I did better than I thought on my race run. Practice day I came down 6 times timing 3 of them. Ran 2:42, 2:45, and 2:47. Each time feeling faster but was actually slowing down(gettin tired I guess). In the race run I felt outta control. I felt like I was blowing every turn out with too much speed but hung on. I entered the sandy chute way way too hot and got really lucky. I saw vidoes of my bike tryin to buck me off but lucky my arms are so damn long I managed to stay on top and ride it out. I pushed hard on the flats and again went kamikaze into the garden swinging way outside. I flew over the rocks and when I landed I hard a really loud pop.One of the spectators shouted oh no. I didn't feel any flats and the bike still peddaled so I kept on. As soon as I got through the gate my rear tire went flat. Tubless ready XT wheels saved me. My rear tire blew but it took a while too bleed out. This is my second race and I pulled a first in beginner, and a 2nd in race 4 for beg 27-34. I have never raced before these two times and had a blast. Told myself if I got a 1st I'd move up. Lotta cool people! I am gunna take the last race off to spend time with the wife but If anyone ever wants to ride PM me. Aliso Woods is a mile away from me and I've riden most of those trails. Oh yeah to Eric Foltz, sick shots!
 
This was my first ever DH race and I had a great time out there this weekend. I placed 17th out of 19 in beginner 27-34 (738Z). I was hoping to place middle of the pack and probably would have if it weren't for crashing in the lower rock garden that cost me about 15 seconds. Can't wait for the next one!
