Since i had to leave earlier than expected, i guess i'll go ahead and post the pics i got on friday. a few from pro quals and some from the am's finals.
btw, major props to juan and chuck for the Ds course. i had to bow out of racing this year due to my shoulder injury but my son had a blast on the course. he was stoked to be the youngest racer on the mountain by over 4 years. the crowd was great as usual and there seemed to be a much larger DS turnout than DH...but then again, i really wasn't paying attention to the DH this time around.
the Cycletherapy crew put up a good show for our first year with a team member on the podium in just about every category.
the kid that won the 14 and under class was the epitome of what racing is all about. he was 13, i think, and WAAAAY bigger than noah but he kept it slow and hung back during his run w/ noah so that it didn't look like such a blowout. then, during awards, noah was in the 4th place spot on the ground and the same kid put him up on the first place box w/ him and it totally made noah's day
i'll get his name from the results later and remember it for sure.
anyway, onto pics. (as you'll see, i'm not a pro photog like highrevs...just a dabbler with a low camera budget
)
my favorite of what i have. one of the morewood boys smokin' the soft berm
noah following me down, trying to figure out the whole flag business
coolest racer on the mountain...Andy Devault way ahead of the competition, railing the berm
noah off the log drop thingy
noah at the gate against a super cool 13 yr old
motomike (check the chick in the green shirt behind him checking out his...uh...style )
herndon
Random Riders (mostly from pro quals)
the after DS party at the Cycletherapy tent. a grip of cool points to Mike Cobler (mikedsx) for living the dream, opening his own shop and supporting the locals
noah..."And What?!!!

the crib
Andy Devault admiring his rad wife (mike cobler and mrs. manimal cut off in the left side of pic)
