So, who's going?

Just waiting on a new shock bolt for my M3 (yes...got the bike working again and then snapped the shock bolt on Tunnel the same day). As long as that arrives by Fri. I'll be there!

I already asked but they're a bunch of a holes and said they wouldn't give it to me:disgust1:

Besides, I've been off my DH bike since Brian Head and I really need to get it dialed in again. Too bad our trails are shut down :(

:banana:

and Mike, if Kegan beats you on the Slayer, you have to trade him (me) for the Slayer. Its only fair. If you cant beat a Slayer you don't deserve an M3. I'm immune from this because I would only be trading with myself :biggrin:


Also, anyone ever stay at the Quality Inn in Ontario (514 N Vineyard)? I have until Friday at 4 to cancel the reservation if the hotel is dump.

HAHAHA, kegan beating me...that's a funny one. Been racing for 3 years and this is his second race, lol. You never know though, I'm known to suck at Fontana, haha.

If I were you though, I'd look at the course and then decide if you want the V10 or Slayer. The Slayer might be kind of nice at the wall ;)

Next time I see you there will be death! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

I totally forgot about that but now that I think of it...EVERY time I've worn that under my jersey I've crashed. I'm still kicking myself for racing with that at Deer Valley! At least I didn't actually go off the bedrock drop with the double flat...that would have made for some great photos!

Yeah, if I were the in the right place at the right time, which I probably wasn't... I didn't know you got a double flat. I've only done it with thorns. Did you plow the hell out of Barney Rubble or something?

My friend said that the only other person to take that line happened to be Leov. Actually, I took it totally on accident but it worked out pretty well, lol.

Actually, I got the flats crossing the grass field. Go figure..the one spot with only 5 rocks and I f it up. THats when I heard the two pops :poster_oops:

I'm wondering how smoky and ashy it'll be there. Going down to the LA Auto Show for the day and then driving back up to SB to get my bikes/pick up my friends for Fontucky! So stoked to race again!!!

I'll be there racing under 18 sport most likely (unless I sack up and go for Jr. X). I'm on a baby blue SX Trail, gray Giro Mad Max, Rouge kit, etc. Say hey if you see me.

Ya, today was fun! Didn't finish anywhere near what I thought I was going to do. Damn dusty blown out corners! I slid all the way through one from the inside all the way to the outside...making me stop completely! Also happened to be in one of my hardest gears so it was hard to get it moving again!

Finished 21st in pro :( If I did not decide to take in the scenery on my race run I probably would have been at least top 15 :P

Or if he didn't smash his derailleur on that last rock "jump" before the wall started!

"Mike, I think there was a mistake, they have you in pro!" Quote of the weekend!

9th in Sport. Not too bad for my first trip to Fontana, and my 2nd ever race. The wall was ****in gnarly, was not expecting it to be that brutal. Lots of room for improvement. Can't wait for the winter series!
