2008 Race Report

Well it has been a busy year but it is raining today so I have time for an update. I have been to the US Open, Daiblo Domination Series races, Jeep King of the Mountaion at Daible Freeride Park and the Plattekill Race Series.



In the US Open I qualified 60th out 300 riders and went for broke in my race run. It was a great weekend and an amazing course. Unfrtunately I pushed a little too hard in a new section and blew the corner which wrecked my run.



I have been plagued by flats lately in the Diablo Domination races but have been feeling great on the courses non the less.



Finally, for some good news. I got back on the podium again at Plattekill this passed weekend. It was a best of 2 runs race format and in my first run I got 2nd place. Before the 2nd run I loaned my friend a pedal and helped him with his front brake so he could complete his second run. I took my second run and bettered my time by 4 seconds. Unfortunately, to show his thanks he beat me by 1 second and bumped me to 3rd. Oh well, what fun would racing be without friends to compete against.



I'm also featured in a photo "going off the infamous Dreadnaught drop" of the race recap on the Plattekill website.

Lot's of new photos uploaded to the race section as well.

Got something to say?
