What a great weekend, for the most part everything went well. Everything was on time and ran smooth.

I saw Sanjay there with a broken collarbone, but as positive as ever. It was very dry and dusty, but I don't know if snowmass has ever not been dry and dusty.

Here is one shot to start things off. I have to get through all the shots tomorrow, now...I sleep!

Shawnee Mac airin' out the parking lot kicker. This was mearly a pile of dirt until Shawnee and Willy Warren had the vision to dig!

 

[Transcend]

shawnee loves to dig!

I miss that guy.

7th...

 

[Motionboy2]

Off to work, here is one more to check out.

The hot line through the section above was... well just about anything. some of the fast guys went inside ans some went outside. It was a tough call.

is riding with no pads the new cool thing to do now?

 

[Motionboy2]

Yeah, it seems that way. Most of the JrX class had minimal padding. Knee only for the most part. One guy ripped through "devils Kitchen" and didn't even have gloves on.

Yep it is, gotta love the bmx influence, knee pads are all the rage but nothing else...

yeah soon enough they'll stop wearing helmets

 

[Motionboy2]

They do! Well as much as possible. But unfortunatly there are rules on the course so they can't just ride down without one.

 

[kidwoo]

Other than stoney, only people I've seen under 21 have picked up on the new unprotected rage. But then again, if you're looking to that age group for wisdom on safety, you might have your own problems beyond lack of pads.

Hey Josh,
Do you happen to have a pic of me? I was so impressed with the one that I bought from last years blast the mass, I was hoping you maybe got one from the nats for this year... thanks in advance.. oh yeah im #799 in expert (embarassing finish)

Hey Marc, I will have to check. I shot the Expert class with film I have to have it developed so I will let you know then. If you are out here next year look for me, it is always good to meet a monkey!

 

[neversummersnow]

how about me MB...371 I think...Bikesource w/a boxxer/V10

well if you're 15 and can choose between dropping $200 on pads so you can ride around your local trails or spending the same amount to race (which is a lot of money either way) I can see where racing w/o pads comes from. By the time these kids are 22 they'll be sporting pads.

I know I got a shot of you the first day, but the card I was using crapped out. I guess that is what you get for borrowing a card from someone. Anyway I lost about 350 pix and I think you were in there. I will be going through all the digi pix and seperating the keepers from the not so keepers and I will let you know if I find anything.

 

[neversummersnow]

Thanks man!

 

[ÆX]

Thanks man!

good finish there jeff.

your wrists held up i guess.

 

[Msisle Dad]

Yeah, it seems that way. Most of the JrX class had minimal padding. Knee only for the most part.

I saw a pic of my 15 yr son, no D jacket, no gloves ...he will have a little explaining to do when he returns...

Do you have any pic's of 518 jr x?

Thanks,

Charles

they own pads. it's not an economic decision...It's a fashion statement

Im 15 and wear full armor when I race. Simple matter of actually feeling safe at high speeds even though Im sure that the impact is gonna get to you no matter what. So I guess I really enjoy not getting scratched up as much and the false sense of security of when I do "big" drops (like 10-13ft) that I'll be alright.

 

[neversummersnow]

good finish there jeff.

your wrists held up i guess.

Thanks Alex

Yea, just wish I wouldn't have gone off course during my race run and had my clipless pedal jam...I love that course.

 

[Transcend]

No gloves ic an understand whn it gets muddy (better grip on the bars), but no pads is pretty insane, especially when you own them!

I riode bromont yesterday with no pads at all as i forgot them, i felt so vulnerable it was ridiculous.

Most definately... I will be driving back out to Colorado in a few weeks for some more riding and racing.. I will be stopping at keystone for sure, and probably cruisin over to moab for a few days of XC, then over to Durango for the finals. Will you be in attendance there? Definately say hi if you see me, I always practice/race in jeans, with a black giant, and grey/blue hcor.net jersey. I was looking for you this year at snowmass actually but theres a bunch of photographers all over the place and I had no idea what to look for... Thanks again in advance if you happen to of got a shot of me.

 

[stoneysnake]

I will be at Durango. I have a large Gray and black bag if I have my telephoto lens on it is white with the MB logo on it. I will look through the pix some more to see if I can come up with a shot.

 

[Motionboy2]

Here is one more for now. Sorry I haven't been able to get everything up all at one time, I have been busy

 

[Beast]

[neversummersnow]

I was there that day. Hate to break it to you, it's layered.

I'm thinking of pushing the session back to 4 PM so we can ride wit all. (yes, I know I spelled with "wit", it's cooler that way)

My favorite quote of the day "I saw his headset...his front wheel, his fork...man that was freaky!" Bikerpunk
