Fun race fellers. Z class def knows how to please the crowd...I'm suprised they just dont pay us to race.
I was able to beat Brian by .003 seconds and Sluck by .028 seconds so I'm happy. Nevermind that this is Brians like 4th time DHing...ever.

Dude did you have to rub that one in? Do you take pleasure in knowing that I cringe every time I see how close the three of our times are ?

Actually, I was pretty surprised on how I did on this course considering that it was rather similar to the course laid out back November when *ahem* Randy put a good spanking on our class. Even without the wall, the pedaling parts still killed me. Gotta give it to course planners though, the last few courses have been tons of fun.

And I don't see why people don't stay to watch the slower classes. That's usually when the funniest crashes happen anyway. Us slower classes are usually going slow enough that when we crash we can usually just walk away from it. Although it does turn into a field day for the photos. Hehe...

 

[Dylan Dean]

gawd i was slow this weekend.

...& yes Sluck... you probably did beat me (along w/ everyone else!)

Enough of my biff pix! My hip hurts more and more every time I see it.

The worst part, the guy with that professional looking video camera in the upper right. Im gonna find him and destroy that footage.

 

[PatBranch]

Flashes are on video cameras.

Haha!!

Ya, that was a really fun course! Soooo happy that the wall was taken out
Sadly, I somehow still ended up finishing 9th(same place as the last race) with a time of somewhere around 2:02ish or 2:04...i don't remember. I just don't seem to have very good luck in Fontana, lol.

Btw, thanks for the stickers Pat

 

[PatBranch]

hahahahaha

 

[5150dhbiker]

hahahahaha

Don't worry...I'll get ya back

Dammitjim, park the road bike and join us again on the right side of cycling =dirt.

thurs night ride tomorrow -I think.

My fortune cookie from Panda Express yesterday implied, "One day, Big Bear will re-open to DH bikes."
Close the face runs if they want (maybe except for Westridge). There are so many fun trails there. urrghhh.

There is a stigma associated with open trail talk. With that in mind, you've got a PM!

 

[***MTB***]

Got it. Thanks a lot!!

I always rubbed our weather into the faces of my buds in Vancouver. Now they don't talk to me. lol God I love San Diego.

 

[mammothpunks]

A little self portrait i took yesterday

 

[ultraNoob]

Brave man hooking your camera to your fork. Good job holding the berm with a remote in your hand. Nice pic!

 

[The_Sluck]

A little self portrait i took yesterday

Nice. Is that a VholdR camera you are holding?

 

[mammothpunks]

its a pocket wizard

 

[PatBranch]

Awesome shot! I need to try some stuff like that.

edit: Look how flexy Dorados are!

 

[Covenasty]

Sweet shot, I tried that once.... let's just say I won't try it again...

 

[5150dhbiker]

Nice shot!

I've done that before with the remote in the hand except the camera was was not attached to my bike, haha.

 

[Ozzer]

sickness.

 

[merrrrjig]

such a sick shot!

 

[mammothpunks]

Nice shot!

nice. was someone holding the camera? seems like you would hit it if it was on a tripod. mine was at elings at the berm before that one

 

[5150dhbiker]

It was mounted on my friends backpack.

Now that I look back, there are some cooler things that could have been done.

 

[PatBranch]

That's a good idea to put it on someone's backpack! We need to go do a tunnel shoot.

 

[So Cal biker]

Good idea!! I don't know how well a backpack would work for shots on there though because it's pretty rough. Besides, with the speed I'm going it'll fall off

But ya, I'm down...possibly next weekend if I can somehow convince my boss that I need a day off then.

 

[5150dhbiker]

Well...whenever there are pics. from this weekend in Fontana...post them up

 

[Ozzer]

Well...whenever there are pics. from this weekend in Fontana...post them up

3 pics came out today

None yesterday and lots from Thurs.

 

[Arkayne]

Zowie! That looks like damage from a pedal slip to wedging your ass between the frame and rear tire.

Yeah...that would work really well on tunnel.

nope, he just farted

 

[5150dhbiker]

Yeah...that would work really well on tunnel.

if you want me to be riding my normal speed it won't work. But ya...I'm still down to do this.

 

[PatBranch]

Maybe not this weekend..if I still have poison oak.
