    I'm a little late here, but just wanted to say other than the wind on Saturday this was a great event.

    I just have to give a thumbs down to whoever spray painted all over the rocks on the course. Not sure if there was anything on the DH course, but at various sections of the xc course there was green spraypaint with things like "2010 US Cup" and "Go Plaxton".

    The rocks that were painted green on XC course (non text) was done to meet UCI requirements.

    Just watched these, I didnt know they were "Sam Hills" Videos:lol:

    Road with him this weekend at Bootleg. He was doing fine Friday but took the rest off (I think) because of a bum shoulder.

    I was the guy he rolled up to at the end of the crash- He laid there for a second(that part of the video is edited out) and I thought he was down for the count. We were(some others were there as well) telling him just lay still and we'll get you some help. Then all the sudden he kinda snapped out of it and he says "give me my bike, I want to finish my run". Crazy thing was, his left hand basically punched that rock. I thought for cure his fingers were going to be mangled(among other things), and they weren't even bleeding. Dude is tough.
