My kiddo practically kept me up all night. With only 1 hr to go before I hit the road for the race, I figured I'd share a quick vid edit from practice day yesterday from the infamous funny little race thingie called Fontana. If you are looking for a day to burn riding different kinda of stuff at free will or wanna try yourself out on a race, give this experience a shot.

I saw a few DTers who raced the SuperD. GoodFlow finished a very strong 3rd in Pro and I beleive Gman finished 3rd as well in his expert class....rippers! Their 2 courses looked fun to ride. I wouldn't have the legs and lungs in today's DH race if I had done the SUper D too. Did that format before and I was shot. The DH course for Pro-Expert is pretty cool. Better yet, it' kinda wet so it makes for interesting approach and angle coming into the rocky bits.

Well, here's the vid, power nap and off I go...

Very nice riding Ozzer. I stay at the HGI hotel all the time and walked the course on Thursday afternoon. Huge props to all that race there. Your video doesn't really show how tough that course is to ride. Nicely done for sure :thumbsup:

Stu, the Super D course(s) have been improved vastly since your last race. It has had more course prep than the DH courses as of late. The DH pro-exp course this weekend was pretty fun. Weather made it more interesting.

Between the flu, general lack of sleep and costly gamble on a line, I stacked it pretty good on my race run. I was really dazed and winded after that digger and sat down the rest of the way to the finish with head spinning and sore. On the upside, the crash gave me a just reason to buy a new helmet. woot woot!!
Last of my vid clips from today during lazy morning practice and some of our team sports class riders race runs (including DT'swn raptorz31 and garvityaddidt -who destroyed and won his class soundly)..


Hello Nyquill.

last race report, I promise, and this one is definitely DT related.

Eddie (garvityaddict), left, is all smiles after winning his race (first ride on his new M9 too) and the best part was beating raptorz31 by a big margin. Stoked!

Congrats Eddie!

Looks like Ade/Chris loveteam is over. Stoked to hear the new Eddie-Chris rivalry.

:cheers:
