in Socal. I'm avalable today, Friday and Sunday. Lets Ride!!!!!

friend is in the Pediatric ICU with a brain injury due to a motorcycle crash. I hope he gets well soon.

figure out how to upload the video. Apparently it's the wrong format. Hopefully the weather is this nice when I get back from work in 2 weeks.

1999/2000. Back in the day at my dirt jump in the vacant lot. Before Carrie was my wife and Baby Mama.

I'm healing well. I will back on he bike next week. I've been to spin class three times. Cardio is still there and so is the ability to predal. Hopefully I will be able to pull the brakes with a bum finger.

After all the issues I've had with this race. It was over 100 feet into my first practice run. Broken nose and broken rib. Did my numberplate have something to do with it?

seriously putting a damper on the race weekend.

2009 Crankworx Colorado

Crankworx is known for its slopestyle competition, and it seems that all other events are an afterthought. But this year Winter Park built a new DH course, with integrated timing system. This was a rutted, rooted, and rocky course that is part of their new agreement with the Forest Service.  On practice day, it started out soggy in the trees and dry in the exposed sections, by the end of the day, I seemed the course was getting very fast, as long as the roots were dry. It then rained all night and into the morning. I had a trick up my sleeve that most other riders did not. Mud tires. Come race day I felt a little skeptical of the spiked tires, as I have never used them before. First practice run instilled full confidence, as I rolled passed many riders on the side of the trail. I felt nearly as fast as my practice runs the day before. My race run was clean, with no crashes, although I didn’t feel as smooth as practice. This was a long, 8+ minute run so I tried to pace myself. I knew that if I kept it on 2 wheels I would be competitive. I didn’t realize that I would win. It felt good. I haven’t won a race in a long time. Then, due to all the rain, they moved the podium ceremony up to just after the race, and I missed it. That was a bummer, as I wanted every one to see my Boot’r on top of the box.

This weekend marked my official return to racing. Pajarito Punishment was the name, held at the Pajarito Ski Area in Los Alamos New Mexico. Practice was Saturday, and there was no way I was going to make it. As of 4 pm Pacific time, I was still in California at the airport. I made it to Colorado Springs at around 10:30, speed home to pack the trailer and on the road at 1230. We made it to Los Alamos at around 4:30. I could not sleep, and the kids were up at 6:00 so I was too. Race day practice was an eye opener. This track was steep and rocky, with a couple high speed step downs. No pedaling but still tiring.  Come race time, best of two. First run, "go slow to go fast", second, "pin it to win it". First run, I felt smooth and quick, sure enough I look around the corner and there is the guy ahead of me. Just that second, I get bounced off my line and hit a large boulder going over the bars. I finished that run clean, but disappointed. Now in pain, (I think I sprained my thumb) the second run plan was out the door, plan B, hold on, and don’t fall. I made it down but felt very slow and had a hard time holding on through the constant pounding. I finished fast with a good sprint. Once the times were posted I found myself with the 3rd place time in the Cat1 men division. Even my first run which was 6 seconds slower was surprisingly fast. It was a long 36 hours but there was nothing that was going to keep me from getting to my first race back.
