As it is every year, I make the trip to the sea otter classic. Traditionally, I have never done well at this event. This was my first pro class at the otter. I had very good runs, I was in the 2;20's all through practice. The race day came and I felt very good. I had a great run until I came into the big berm before the hip and lost it into the turn. I had never come into to this berm that fast and just folded. Any way I ended up below 50th place or lower. I had a good time and I will work on my skills.
June 1st, I was practicing for the peavine challange DH. The track is in reno nv. I was about 10 seconds into my first run and did a fade away drop but hit a baby head rock and landed on my left side. I broke my clavicle into three pieces and had a plate and seven screws put in.
I am at home recouperating. I hope to be back up to speed for the july 1st race. A few cold monsters will move me along. Until next time.
