wow! what can i say? US Open blew up this year, with many of the big guns in world cup and norba coming out to shell what diablo had to offer.

i only got pro practice and amateur finals today. the album i've uploaded isn't every picture i have...and i got just about every amateur qualifier in their race runs today. just give me your plate number and a brief description of what you were wearing and bike and i'll try to post them to this thread.

Way to go US Open guys for promoting the event, I spoke with some racers and all said how nice to be at a PRO event for a change, they even treat us like professionals.

placed 43rd of 70 in qualifiers with a stupid fall and a time of 3:40 and placed 52nd in finals with yet another stupid fall and time of 3:42. I was feeling real tired all weekend so I wasn't really riding all that well. Bike felt awesome though, sprints really well with the lighter wheels and tubeless tires, suspension felt better in some situations and worse in others compared to the BB7. I think the BB7 worked better in the really rocky tech stuff, but the azonic felt better in pretty much all other situations.
