I'll be heading up there this weekend! It should be very funny. Why you ask?

Times I've ridden my new race bike? 1
Times I've ridden since breaking my shoulder 8 months ago? 1

It should be quite comical for the spectators! But, if I don't go there's no way for me to get to the national championships in September, so I'm off to the races!

PM box cleaned out...
My shoulder is gettin a bit better. Im hoping that it'll be good to go by Sat. for practice. If not then I'll just hang out, meet people and check out the race.
Lesson learned: Always check out a line before launching it!!!

Frank, was that up at PC? Which drop? Hmm, maybe I better not ask; it'll just make me nervous next time I go up there, which means I'll be more likely to crash.
i think it was off one of the stumps on the lower section of trail, right before you drop down next to the stream... :dead:

Yeah, it's on the trail right after the drop-zone, there's a swerve to the right around a tree, and there's a bloody kicker/ramp with NO landing what so ever on the left in leiu of the turn... it's simply a jump and flop set-up, kinda sketchy as you could theoreticly go HUGE off the thing...maybe that would have helped, whatever, he piled it into the berm...looked painfull, and apparently it was glad you're healing Frank, hope you're alright for the race Sunday.

Ehh, Im gonna go try to test it Sat. doing some practice runs. It felt alot better when I put my pressure suit on last night. Just something to make it feel more solid.
Another lesson learned.: If you have armor, wear it... Dont put comfort over protection.:dead:
