Kissin' azz, but gittin' nowhere...
What a killer weekend at the hill. It was great to see everyone, and that we all got to come home in one piece. I personally am in a complete state of bafflefication that I moved up from BM40+ to SM40+ and was able to pull 2nd out of my crack. It must of been that case of Red Bull that I drank. I got some pic's at the bottom of the rock garden. I post after I figure out who's who.

LATER!!!!!

I was in harrisonburg all afternoon on my way back from Radford and i wanted to go sooo badly. However i had to do stuff concerning my freind's sister's graduation. I waved like crazy at a pick up truck with 2 foes DH monos w/ dorados, a pick up truck with an intense M1 and a blue v10 w/ 888 and an SUV with a specialized DH bike with white boxxers along with 2 other bikes that i cant recal... i was in an expedition pulling a trailer, did anybody see me? Its great to hear the event was a succes!

It was reported in VeloNews that the Mass DH was the first time ever in the history of Mid-Atlantic DH racing that there was no rain.

I just realized that my entire weekend of "bike riding" consists of 4'2" on the bike (no practice runs). :mad: :cool:

Definitely a killer weekend. Props to Kalan for letting us stay at his place Friday night! Got to meet a ton of monkeys (Stoneysnake, Big Mike, Chop, Vegi, ...........the list goes on and on). Course was pretty cool, not technical, but definitely a good beginner to the season.........fast and fun. No rain, but that probably means it will rain at every other race now. My race run was mediocre....many mistakes, hip-checked a few trees, slow in some spots, and I just came out to slow cause I knew I would probably blow-up by the end of the course. It's all things I can easily correct, but at least I didn't finish dead last!

I believe that was my friend Mark Richard. He mentioned a conversation with you about that. He's a bit older fellow with a goatee. His son Jordan races on a black Ellsworth Dare and runs about 18-20 psi in his tires.

These guys?

No I wasn't there. Mark was making me feel guilty for missing it by recounting every minute he was there. Including your conversation.

That's Mikey Valach. He's racing for Dirt Works/Land Rover this season, just the team doesn't have their new jersey's or bikes just yet. As you see, he now has many nicknames.......$wiss, Valdouche (a classic courtesy of Kalan!), Valach-a-snatch-a-sauras, etc! He's a cool cat, definitely a ripper on the bike.
