RR Fontucky WS #3 (Feb 9-10) XC, Super D & DH practice pics

There are not many under 18 Experts around. You might find two or so once in a while.

 

well i was thinking, once i get back into xc type shape, of skipping sport and going straight to 3 laps.. then i would get used to pumping out longer laps so if i did have to drop back down for a national i could put in harder sprints in 2 laps... and i would get a 1st palce as long as a crossed the finish :?: :-k
but then again, thats kinda like cheating

 

I hate to scare you off, but experts are doing four laps at nationals

well nationals are a ways away...
if i can get my endurance up to speed ill be good to go... im not worried about winning especially at a national... but just finishing at a podium would be awesome..
well, looks like i need to start riding everyday again

 

Four laps is a long, long, long race. Last year, both of my legs seized up in the middle of the fourth. Nothin' nice.

 

maybe ill have someone drag me across the finish line or something.
4 laps is 26 or so mile with around 4500' of climbing on the fontana track right?

 

They weren't the only ones to go head first over the rocks...

 

i forgot about taht guy... he came later in the race... im surprised he fell "soflty" and walked away... he was cartwheeling like crazy

 

Looks like LastImages.com is getting his photos up.

 

mad props to gary!! All i can say to every one that gets a kick out of his crashes is, what were you riding only after six months on a bike? MAD {nothing mean or sarcastic meant}

As for the new nick name I vote for VIVA KNIEVEL!

By the way GAB ZINC IS NUTS!!! HE RODE A HARD TAIL SINGLE SPEED JUMP BIKE WITH A BLOWN FORK, PUMPED THE FORK FULL OF AIR WHICH PRETTY MUCH MADE IT RIGID I THINK IT MOVED ABOUT AN INCH OR SO, JUST SO HE COULD STILL RACE!

 

I think the better question might be how many of you still don't ride after three years around mountain bikers???

Me Me Me Me Me!

:bang::bang:

Ha Ha

Cheers ,BFlo! That little guys a ripper too! Did anybody see the young man in the white 661 helmet drift that corner during the kids race? Too sick. We'll get you on a bike and on the 4X course as well, bro!
