how was the race, i managed to miss it, the few races that ive done here in virginia the whole thing is more or less a giant party rather then a real race, just the way i like:devil:
There is a picture of you on the podium at iplayoutside.com
Ta-Da, its Kirstin and Capt. Jack Sparrow 
Mike,
In the podium picture you posted of the women in your Mass. pic thread Sunday, my mom asked me why I looked like I had Down's (sp?) syndrome!

After I finally met you, i've been wondering the same thing
the race was awesome, i had a great time, and i did seem like it was one big party
unfortunately, i couldn't come down friday, and had to leave pretty early on saturday, so i missed out on all the beer drinking goodness 
coming from the XC racing world, the DH scene is a welcome change - people you don't know come up and talk to you, they lend you stuff (and ask you to lend them stuff), and people are *much* less uptight...
yeah, i found all of those and downloaded them, but there was this one guy wandering around the area at the bottom of the course taking pics on a 35mm, and he took one of me standing next to my bike, all geared up, and sporting the double \m/ \m/
i wish i could remember who that was...
Wasn't it one of the racersedge guys? The one who helped you out with your tire the day you were having problems at that one place we ride?
I remember I was standing next to him when he took the pic....

Typical conversations/statements at 1) XC race vs. 2) a DH race
XC race:
"Oh god, my platelet level drop 3 points, I hope I can race tomorrow"
"Hey can I borrow that scale after you, I need to wieght my race tires and then the serving of pasta I need to eat, I don't wanna bonk tomorrow"
"Dude, after you finish making the decision between which is lighter, the CO2 or the new Ti pump you just bought, can you tell me that trick again about shaving behind my knee?"
" I can't believe this stupid new XTR stuff, I mean it is crisp, but just listen to the way it goes into 5 & 6, I think that little rub will slow me down in the climb tomorrow"
"ya know I sometimes hate the summer cuz it is still kinda light out at 8:30 PM and sometimes it is tough to go to sleep"
DH Race:
"Oh, fack! we just ran out of beer!" Dude, it is your turn to drive down the mountain"
" Man, did you clear that......I didn't and I just totally facked up my rear wheel.....dude, what are you worried about it still spins!"
"Dude, my derail is soooo facked!" No worries you only need the top gear for out of the gate and the bottom gear for the fire road"
"What it is 2AM, man, fire jumping can get exhausting!"
" Hey, you had the bong to long!" Give it up, there are other people around the Facking camp fire!"
The aforementioned is why I became a DHer. Oh, and cuz I am old and fat!
Hit the nail on the head!
hmmm.... gonna have to rethink that xc bike i've been lookin for. i sure don't fit conversation 1. definately do with number 2.
