Race Report: 2010 Fontana City National/Pro XCT/Golden State

Not one picture of me in the 4x section , bummed

 

Sorry about that. Saturday was tuff for me to shoot. I had to bail the 4X race early so I wasn't able to cover every single race

But I'll make it up to you! send me an email to [email protected] so I have your contact info.

 

Thanks Mike for all the hard work you do. I certainly appreciate the effort you put in.

Mike, thanks for all your efforts as well. You ready to go hit GMR again?

TOOK- I took a bunch of photos Saturday while watching my son race. If you give me your race number I'll look through and see if I have one. Obviously not the quality of Mike's wares but free is free.

 

thanks guys.

I'm down to hit GMR again. I want to go back but spend more time in those super gnarly sections until I can hit them without going OTB every 5 feet and have someone show me how to ride those. I just ride the trails but dont really ever get the time to do sections over unless I'm with just a couple of friends.

There is a good size group of us shuttling at Simi Valley this sunday. I'm setting up a ride and shoot and is open to everyone. I have a thread going on in the ride meetup forum. I want to take some non race fotos so I can have different styles of shots and videos on my site.

 

man that sounds super fun. too bad its on easter though. it is on easter day right?

 

yeah.. easter. I'm not a big easter guy although I'm gonna have an easter egg hunt that day for the riders.

 

Hey Chuckie, my number was 734. I only raced 4X. Do you have any of me? thanks

 

Here you go my man- cool one of you leading 'em. :bang:

 

Nice shot! That's me (690) on his left...that was a FUN race!

 

Yeah Chuckie that shot is friction RAD!!!! Looks like it was that first jump after the "S" turn. Thanks man!

 

No worries! Glad you like it.

 

Didn't shoot the last race but have a lot of the other races.

Took, what were you wearing at the races? Plate number too. I had a friend taking a ton of photos at the 4X race. He might have a few.
:drunk:

Look at you tearing it up, Hink'!!!! :bang:

 

Thanks Bob! Not too shabby for an old fat guy, eh? This was our LCQ, Eric Foltz got some really good shots of us in the second to last turn of this race....Always fun racing with Ian, good times in Fontucky!

 

I never judge, man! I've been surprised a few times LOL. Are you heading to Woodward? :beer:

 

Trying to figure out a way I can make it.......keeping my fingers crossed! No work makes racing an expensive habit.......but I'm hoping some of my stuff sells by then to pick up some extra $$$$. But I am gonna try to make either way.....

 

That picture looks like loads of fun. :wave:
