Here is my son Mason (age 4) riding the DS Track Friday night. He did end up riding down to the Table Top turn, but didn't get that on video. I am so proud of him!!!!! It was the #1 moment of the weekend for me.


I have 3 different Helmet Cam runs (Dry, Muddy, and nothing but Ruts) of the Pro DH course that should be done loading in an Hr. I will post them up after they load.

The timing company usually does... I can't remember, but it was something like midget horse races... They aren't from bikes, but I didn't hear about a single re-run due to timing issues.

Nice.... CJ timing has done the last 2 U.S. Nationals, almost every race of the last 5 years of the Mountain States Cup, as well as multiple high profile road races including the U.S. Nationals.....but they're not from bikes........

You must realize in my world that if they aren't from the East Coast they don't exist.

Didn't CJ sports timing do the timing for the race this year? I thought I read somewhere they were the one's doing it. I could be wrong. CJ sports timing does Mountain States Cup Series races.

Edit** oops. Doc answered before I could. My bad. :)

Pro DH Track Helmet Cam Runs:

So I did a lot of Helmet Cam runs this past weekend down the Pro DH Track using my Drift Innovations HD Helmet Cam. These 3 are the best quality runs I have showing just how the Track changed over the weekend. One is in Dry conditions, Muddy conditions, and then straight up Ruts!!!

Hope you enjoy:

Cant possibly say enough good things about this event. I have been racing bikes for 14 years and that was possibly the best race yet. someone needs to give herndon a raise because those courses were awesome!

ACL. I saw him at dinner Sunday night and we talked. He will be having surgery soon, but will be ok. He should have won DS!!!!

Anybody seen that picture of Bingelli pulling his tear off in the air over that hip jump toward the bottom of the course? I wanted to show it to a friend and haven't been able to find it again.

I also want to thank Beech Mountain and all involved for a great event. The mud sure made things interesting, though. I checked out of the condo and drove to the parking lot on Sunday about noon and was fortunate to get the last spot in lot #1. That place was packed for the DH finals! It was great to see a lot of fans who were not mountain bikers coming out to watch the action. I can't wait to do it again next year.
