well i made it up here and the track is prime for 29's
fast with huge brakebumps and very few rock.
lots of moondust for my motoraptors to cut thru.

i did 5 runs flatting my last b/c i dropped into a rut full
of dislodged rocks. I have two slit tubes covering my
29 tube 1 road thorn proof anf one reg 29.
i am running up to 50 psi and want to use the rear too even
though i got my 26's jic.


every one is psiked on the 29's. people are very ancious
to see it come in for DH.

i race tomorrow @ 4pm ish.

laters alex

i spoke too soon...those were the '05 results.

 

[hitekrdnk]

I think that must be the next class or more up due to the grey hair? None of those guys is Alex.

Great job Alex.

 

[narlus]

all those masters look alike, don't they?

yeah, there wasn't any info w/ the podium photos, so i just guessed. apparently wrong.

edit - results are here:

looks like alex came in 18th, about 20 seconds down from the leader in his age group.

thanks guys,

i went over a berm in my final lost 5 secs. the times were super close
back where i was. i would have gained like 10 places!

i had fun and only flatted once, then i wraped my tube in two other tubes and ran 50 psi. the track only had one flat corner so knobs
were not needed.

my rampages never made it, but i was ok. lots of people checked out
the bike. even XC guys were baffled. lol.


My final i was just off and lacked concentration. ? it happens. that and
there were like 10+ new fast guys there.

i have lots of video but NONE of me.

Still glad you made it up there Alex and represented. Hope you had fun also. Next year you'll still be a master, that's how it works getting old

 

[MMcG]

Way to go Alex - keep pushing the 29er DH concept forward.

Great riding! Next year will be different...

-Dedicated 29" BCD frame with more travel?
-Much bigger tires (would the Weirwolf 2.55 940g have worked there?)
-Lots of prior riding on the biggies!
-Hopefully for you, not more riders on big bikes...
