i didnt think so, but than again im from the east coast haha. i think people were just useing their breaks to much and the rocks were super dusty/sandy.was that section really that hard?
Kovarik has balls of steel. Who else do you know pins it in world cups and spins 360's off kickers for the hell of it on their DH bike? I watched him at snowshoe back in 2001 i think it was. Anyway it sounded like a moto coming down the hill in one of the rockiest sections on the mountain. He went past me so fast that the jet stream nearly knocked me over. I have never seen anybody go that fast on something that gnar.I just edited Kovariks run at that race and it will be up in a few days.He flys right through that sections.
i believe those are white grips on those bars buddy.Anyone notice the red...Foes, maybe?..with the white bars...and NO grips?? About 1/3 in...
I'm anxious to see Kovariks section...
Nice job, man!
Sweet! Much rather see that than people rag dollinI just edited Kovariks run at that race and it will be up in a few days.He flys right through that sections.
Yeah that looked really easy, it looked kind of like some of the section right out of the gate at diablo.i didnt think so, but than again im from the east coast haha. i think people were just useing their breaks to much and the rocks were super dusty/sandy.

Get yer butt in gear and fire up that Kovarik footy, dangit!We will have a video out by summer 2008.There is a teaser for it on our website.Thanks
This section is in the middle of the course.Its a few 100 yards above the wall.Everytime I have been out there they have had a different course set up through that area or the come down from the other side of the road and drop in just below this section.I hope that helps. ThanksSo what part of this hill is that? Is it basically the "CA State Championship" course with a totally different approach and exit of the rock section?
Alot of guys thought they were Chris Kovarik that day!That was FUN! Haha, flew through that section all weekend without crashing Rode down on the frame twice though, hehe.
Ya...my friend was in that video, crazy crash.
The problem is, people just didn't pick out their lines BEFORE they went down and then when they did have them figured out they took them too fast for their riding ability.
It was a good time, I still got 4th with a hard crash on the section above the fire road and not pedaling the road or the wall due to being stunned. It wasnt for lack of a clean line or above my exeprience though. I was going for a tail whip of the last rock and felt it slde out changing my direction a little too much to the hill side causing me to land high and the back to slide out on landing.That was FUN!

Why would you go for a tail whip off a tiny rock in the middle of your race run.... in the mud?It was a good time, I still got 4th with a hard crash on the section above the fire road and not pedaling the road or the wall due to being stunned.

So no whip and shoulder/helmet into a BIG rock.
Do not under estimate the power of fashion.....No protective gear: Its trendy.
That tiny rock as you call it with a bunnyhop proved for some good height on sat as well as distance. Hit the first try to clear the 2nd and bunnyhop the 3rd!!!!!!!!!!Why would you go for a tail whip off a tiny rock in the middle of your race run.... in the mud?
I saw your crash, it looked like you just slipped a little and lost it head first into a rock.
Same side of the hill as 07 Cal state #2. Instead of hitting the chute on the right, we veered left, dropped in then took a high right line. So much fun. Glad to say I didn't make the highlight reel.So what part of this hill is that? Is it basically the "CA State Championship" course with a totally different approach and exit of the rock section?
I didn't ask why you hopped it, I asked why you tried to whip it.... And yes, I saw you unearth the rock.That tiny rock as you call it with a bunnyhop proved for some good height on sat as well as distance. Hit the first try to clear the 2nd and bunnyhop the 3rd!!!!!!!!!!
Worked when it was dry.
It wasnt my head that hit though, my right arm/shoulder and elbow are feeling the effects and the lid has no marks or dirt on it.
I body checked it. If it was me that you saw then you also saw the rock tumble down from the impact.
I can pound a 2'-3' foot bunnyhop on that pig as well as get it over 180 on flat with avy and 9" of squish, trust me little obstacles can be benificial.
