What Bob does when he is not racing



Kicking up a little of that Fontana dust



Some of the spectators were so scared of the rocks on the course they decided to wear helmets while watching the race



The Yeti looked so smooth through the rocks...maybe that should be my next DH bike??? :D







Alf is camera shy



Some members of the crowd showed their patriotism



Ian Odom with a little style





Even pro's sometimes hit the dirt...ouch








Yep...really liking those Yeti's :p




Harder-er-er-er or something like that





Condrashoff




Rennie




Riffle




Rando



Hmmm...that blue Intense is awfully nice too....

Thanks for taking that pic! TJ didn't show again because he would have lost to me...
word to your mom


Hello? TJ? Yeah, it's Pat. Your 5th place finish in sport SUCKS. I could wheelie all the way to the finish line and still beat you. And I'm smart enough not to show my pit stains

What? No, I didn't say you suck. I asked if your bro could ever beat the Sluck. By the way, can you give me a ride home. Hello? TJ?

So back to the biking photos...Brad Lawrence making the course look easy





DH practice for the Cal State











We have liftoff!!!!!



and landing



I really don't know what to say about this....



Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! On to the races...



I think this guy was jumping for joy that the Nationals were over and this was just the Cal State race.



Rocks!

I forsee that this is going to end badly...






Same rocks, different riders






That Fontana dust is like quicksand...it sucks you in when you least expect it




Let's move on to some stylish youngsters...up first Roger



Wheee!



+1 for style points









Another one that is probably not going to end so well





Just a few more peeps, I promise.




Well that's all folks! I'll leave you with another pic of why it took me so long to post these pics. :p

We were on our way to nowhere today to break in the new bikes and equipment.
From freezing temps a couple of weeks ago to boiling oil hot 1000F today. Last snapshots before the camera hucked a drop to flat.

no helmet... awesome example for the underage spectator :disgust:
OK for the little juniors out there this is not a great example of what should be worn. Wear a helmet at all times and dont be like us old schoolers. I make my kids wear a helmet at all times (bikes, skateboards, rip sticks and roller blades).
BTW:
Its 4" of squishy grass and soft dirt. Youll break your neck before your skull right there! I can headbutt the ground there asnd come up dirty but not hurt! Doesnt make it right but thats the reason!

Who left the oven on in San Diego?? It's 450 deg when we got back from Tehachapi.

I rode the course on Sat and it was kinda fun to ride but not necessarily to race. However, I'm retired so I didn't race. I'm collecting retirement funds from all the years NORBA sucked it to me with all the late and processing fees.

After several of the Chinese men cleared immigration, for the first time, we finally had the entire Hutchinson Tires development and most politically correct team in one place.




"Honky (Andy Goddard)" -frustrated with the language barrier.


"Chin-cho-ko-pao!" -Mac N Cheese aka Shyrmp cheers Chow Mein (Arkayne) on. Hella team support.


Honky leading the train..


"Come sail away with meeeeee." -STYX .. a song that on The Sluck's Ipod under the Pre-Race songlist.


Egg Roll aka The Sluck. Overly prepared for racing that he mentally hikes back up the course when mess up visualizing a race run. He's whacked.


Got thermonuclear protection???
Kung Pao aka ultranoob


Mac N Cheese shredded the course like soft cheddar.



"Where's dhmike?" -Egg Roll


"How did I qualify for the Chinese National DH Team again?" Honky


Agenda item 4 at the next team meeting: How to properly fasten number plates. :p
Kung Pao airing it for the people's republic of Panda Express


Honky is just happy to be out of the trailer park.. and sober.


"I know how to spell sober? s-o-B-E-E-R, Sober!!" Trailer Trash aka Zark





Chow Mein (Arkayne) sandbagged his way to a 4th place finish in Expert class. :) Awesome!


Trailer Trash (Zark) made Scotland proud with a 2nd place finish.

Justin, after watching you at the bottom section, dude, move up before the bitter sports class puts a bounty on you. :) Great showing!!!

Egg Roll and Honky finished 3rd and 5th, respectively, in the Purgatory Sports class.


Shyrmp earned it.


The Tacoma cabin was glowing on our drive home and I could not see infront of the truck being behind The Sluck's head. :p


ALL awesome pics were taken by Arkayne or Arkayne's awesome wife. Thanks for sharing and for all the support.
Special thanks to Vaginil for not racing again. Yeah..

Cool pics!

When I called you the other day, we were turning right to get on the freeway in Salinas leaving sea otter and we thought we saw you driving. You were going towards San Francisco instead of San Diego. I was letting you know you were going the wrong way.

That was one hell of a fun day! The course was a bit short (although I still got winded at the end) but hanging out with the peanut gallery is what it's all about. Now I just have to heal from the sunburn.
