Yep real funky, I think next year they need a better timing system. I'm sure my time is fairly correct give or take an hour or two. It's just amazes me how all the top times in each class are seporated by 1 secRye_Bread said:

If I remember correctly, you're name is Rich right? I was hanging out with Chris in the parking lot. The two guys w/ the grey Dodge and Turner DHR's on the rack.surfinguru said:

Okay,
I already knew that, but I figured it was a timing screw up, it was my first win! I won the mens 19-34 beginner group. And I was only 1 second slower than Rich. In Riches defense, he got stuck behind some slow dude forever that wouldn't let him pass... oh, Hi Brian, didn't see you there... this is awkward.
Great course this year, had a blast out there. The timing/awards were a bit lame, but all in all a good effort for the first year. Can't wait to try again next year.

I got 11th. Lame.
Brian, you looked hella fast in the Evil jersey, that's what matters to the beezys in the lot. I went before you and the the guy who passed you smoked the class...(and probably belongs in *cough expert *cough cough) Cya at the C-Otter?..midpack attack!
Expert? Jeez, I'm not sure my head's going to fit out the door to go home today...thanks for the compliment! Check my times after Sea Otter and then we'll see if expert is really where I should be.Backpack1 said:
J_B, yeah, that's me. Thanks man! It was cool chatting with you guys in the lot. If you're ever down Santa Cruz way, shoot me a PM and let me know. We'll get together and ride for sure! We definately have some really fun trails happening right now.
You guys need to cut Brian some slack...he's still my hero! :love:
Pussy! hehe...j/k bro. See up at UC once it dries out a bit.Total Heckler said:
It might have to wait until sea otter. Its supposed to be raining until next Wed.-Thurs. and then rain again after that.surfinguru said:
I was riding like junk especially with my rear tire losing air and making me get all squirrelly all the way down the course. =] oh well. I will be prepared for the sea otter. I hope.
i got 20th. i feel it was pretty good for my first expert race and also for only getting 2 practics runs in
Ohh man, I got second in that class. I probably should've let off of the brakes around the beginning of the course. In any case, I completely agree with you. That course was awesome.goin' medium said:Okay,

Did you get a prize? I just realized my CHDH shirt is pure cotten and will shrink if I forget to wash it properly, so if I can weasel my way into a free shirt, then I'll be a happy boy.
Yeah, I traded someone for their registration so I didnt get a T-shirt, so all I got was a hat. Im going to ask Phil for a T-shirt too since they didnt have medals or a podium picture.morethanjake543 said:

Phil handed me a big fat gift certificate for Sports Basement with my medal. I already spent it so that I wouldn't have to give it back if they screwed up my time
Brian,
I'm just playing. You gonna be at SOC this week? I'm debating which bike to use, the big slow Demo 9
ink: or the small twitchy Preston

new designer this year it seems, so course might be a little more DH bike friendly. Fingers crossed.goin' medium said:Ya,

One can only hope. Weird how there's been zero info on what's going on with the course this year. It's looking more and more like a good call to show up Thursday.Raacerx said:
7th place...I think?
Did tyler mccaul really race in jumior ex AND expert 19-34? Weird.
All I know is that freaking Eriksen beat me by 5 seconds. He's gonna talk so much sh!t next time I see him.

Ain't that the truthBackpack1 said:
There should be a seperate trophy for sandbaggers-like a bag of sand.
Congrats to you all, I was supposed to be there but i got side tracked at the hospital as we had our first born!I wonder if its to early to start lookin for a bike. for the little one.
You guys are killing me. I did move up this year!!! I won all that stuff last year in beginner category. So I should've went straight to expert? Hmmm...not sure 'bout that one. Let's talk after Sea Otter. If I kill it there, then you guys can give me all the crap you want.
Sandbagger....sheesh.
Sandbagger....sheesh.
Haven't you raced in the beginner class the last 2 or 3 years straight?
Don't know what to tell you guys. Half the time I'm broken and during practice I suck a**. (Just wait until Theo's video comes out. There's some great footage of me just eating absolute sh*t right before the 180 berm. Not once, but twice!) Somehow though, I just seem find the focus and put it together when it counts for my race runs.
So hear's the deal, I started riding again in fall of '02 after a 20 year absence. (I thought I'd try being a surf bum for a while.) Picked up the big bike in spring '03 and was busted up for over three months at the end of '03. (ie - no riding at all.) First race was GGG in '04. Two 7th's the first year ('04) and then swept the next three in year 2. So to anwer the question, I did 2 years as a beginner. Since I won Nats last year, I knew I had to move up this year and figured Sport was the place to be.
All I can say is Whistler, the Shore and alot of desire really improve your game in a VERY short period of time.

Why does it even matter what class hes in when he is relativly new to the racing scene? I rode with Rich a few years back when he was just getting back into the sport and I can say first hand he has progressed quickly.
