BTW what was up with Rennie and Hill in the DH they were like 10 seconds back?
Rennie's gear slipped up pretty bad two pedals out of the gate. It blew his feet off the pedals and caused him to come almost to a stop while he was trying to get his bike back in gear. Bad luck.

Kamil rides for Kona/Les gets world team.
He is national champion in his home country and was 8th or 9th overall int he world cup 4x last year. basically kind of an underdog type rider that know one has really heard of but who has style and skill for miles.

She had said 2005 was the year she was going to tour the world on a boat...but I think that might have been another media stunt.

Here is a shot of Freak today
Love the pic!!! (And the others too of course, but a bit biased for this one ;) )

Unfortunately neither Freak or I got to race yesterday :(

My rear brake decided to just fade away after my first practice run. Freak tried all he could to get it fixed in time, and was even sweet enough to cannabalize his bike so I could race, but to no avail. One of those fluke things. Oh well...at least I had a good time practicing and seeing everyone and there's always next year!

I still feel bad that I was not there when we have two bikes you guys could have hucked off of... It was just a logistical mishap bec I had to meet Hutchinson in the morning and Heather could not find you guys.. Sorry.. I saw how bummed you two guys were.

Thanks anyway :) I'm still surprised that Freak's brakes didn't work on my bike :think: I think we just had the unfortunate mishap of having the planets aligned incorrectly that certain parts just wouln't mesh together....I've seen him bleed brakes in a snap so I we're still scratching our heads trying to figure it out :confused: (And I still feel horrible that Freak missed his race trying to help me) But it was good to see you and Heather so that still made the trip worth it :D

It's a spider XVP with a shorter Romic and a 3 inch fox float. The speed dents increased this weekend when he tried to X-up and the rebound knob dented the headtube gusset. Haha, so much E-speculation going on here.
Alf, you don't even know what's going on with my bike. The Romic is the stock length.
waaaaah.

The XVP would be faster with some lightning bolts on it. Big ones. Yellow ones. Match them spokes.
I had to ditch my front wheel after the first day practice. My tire popped off the bead exiting the corner before canada bridge #2 causing a spectacular crash. My rim just had too many dents in it for my DH tire.

SRAM cassettes... I was standing at the gate when it happened; POP. A section of about six teeth was laying in the dirt where he picked himself back up.

Did I miss something? Speed dents? Were? In the frame, or the rims?

I asked Rennie if that's what happened and he had no clue...I felt bad for him, he looked like a little kid who just lost his puppy.

He was like, "I dunno, I just slipped a gear and my feet blew off me pedals." Then I said he was too strong and to slow down. Crazy Austrailians.
