Truth Clothing

So I am stoked to be hooked up with Truth as of this week! They have some awesome clothes and cool designs. Be sure to check out there site and get some sic clothes!

Finally a race update

The Pain face, how many more laps?

What a weekend! I witnessed so many great races from all of our friends and supporters of our race series, Racers and Chasers. Here are some pics from the race this past weekend that mostly my dad took.Just a bit sandy
It really is as steep as it looks!
There was tons of wins that I heard about from a bunch of people that we have met and great races from people who have just upgraded!About half of the 120 or so starters. Talk about a bottleneck. I got called up 105th

Thanks to the TONS of support from all that continued to cheer for me the whole race! Dave, Kurt, and Cheryl were at the base of "The Wall" on every lap and are here along the "Boards" as I finished! Thanks a ton! I ended up in 50th while having to pass 55 riders.

Let's get going again!

Well to say the least I am not really enjoying still being on the injured list! This is not the most painful injury that I have had but still its annoying to not be able to ride the bike.

Good news is that my race bike is almost done being painted and I can't wait to see it! That also means that I can build up my training bike finally and be able to get them both rolling!

Lastly if you have been to the either the last Fontana or the US Cup you probably got this flyer on your vehicle. It is something that my Dad is working on but it is the real deal! I have been using it for a while now and it has greatly improved my bike handling skills. It makes me feel so much more solid and takes away some of the guess work of what lines to pick! It truly is a great thing and you should totally give it a try!!

Lastly I am really stoked to say that the last US Cup race was tremendous! It was so great to see almost 700 racers out there! I am glad to see what seems to be a surge in mountain biking again. Great work to all that were involved and awesome job to all that raced!

Video and interview

Here is another video, this one has an interview with the top 3 XC from the last fontana race.

Not doing much here just trying to recover and stay out of the rain! Stay dry to all!

Video and update

So not much going on here as of late! I took a really hard spill out at vail the other day and the doctor think I fractured some ribs. Oh well the day must go on!

And we made sure that we had another great time at the race this past weekend. The conditions were perfect Saturday with the rain the night before! It was sunny and warm all day on Saturday making it great!

Thanks to all that came out and supported us!

wet weekend of racing and training

So it was a fun weekend of riding in the best conditions that have been seen here in quite a while. It started off with rain all night Friday and then a race on Saturday. It was great conditions that made for an awesome race! The race went well with the rain holding off the whole duration of the race. It was a small pro field with only three of us there. On the second lap I finally got a bit of a gap and decided to make a run of it. I was able to win be 2 minutes by the end and give a great shake down to the new race machine! It was truly great and worked amazing! The wheels and bike just made it seem so effortless.

Sunday I decided to go ride at Vail after having lunch with my Grandpa for his birthday. I was able to get 2.5 hrs in with only minimal rain during the ride. There was only one puddle that really got in the way. I was just laughing the whole time in amazement of how great the conditions were considering all of the rain that we were getting.

All in all it was tons of fun and I wish that all had a great weeekend to! Now its time to get ready for my race this weekend!
