The suburbs of Mexico.....
This weekend was the last race in our Winter Series in Fontana, CA, and it held plenty of suprises and lots of fun. It was also the showdown between TJ (lovebunny) and Wes (merrrrjig) after all the smacktalk that went down over the past couple of weeks.

"I'm so glad I'm not hiking this green bike up tomorrow." -TJ


The "step-up" during the dry part of Sat's practice.



"So Heather, uhm how do you like the Be One bike? Oh, coo, think I can borrow it again?" -bunnyjones


"Take a picture of me, me me me, please. Me me." -tj


An empty shuttle truck was the norm for Saturday practice


Then the sky opened up and the temperature dropped and we quickly found shelter wherever we could


The bike that nobody wanted. :(


That's not hail.
"Take a picture of me, me me me me" - lovebunny



"Where my homies at? Where are y'all foos?" Andre2K (Brazillian Downhiller)


By 2PM or so, the freezing temp and nasty dirt got people leaving early. Nobody was bitching about long practice lines on Saturday.

"Take a picture of me me me me. Hold on, let me roll over. Ok, ready?" -bunny.


Sun morning practice.


Snowcapped San Bernardino Mountains in the background. The vista was so un-Fontana-esque.


The under-utilized Nicolai G-Boxx -Ok, Orven just wanted to race on it but the distributor says no :rofl:

Dhjill ripping it up for Haro.
It's cool that Haro donated frames for the end of the series raffle....A 7yr old kid won the full susp frame.


Anthony of Truvativ


Cody Warren of Haro Bikes.


"Wes, it may not be the bike but I think the race result today will leave a bad taste in your mouth for a long time." -lovebunny in non-freeriding outfit


The lower rock section


Orlando Martinez


"I'm coming.... take pictures of me , me me me me me" Lovebunny


"Are you staying here for a bit? Let me hike up so you can take pictures of me again. Oh, you don't have to get ready, Wes is too slow and won't be in your shot for another 40 seconds." confident cj


2 seconds later -Merrrrjig rolled in.
"Where's the wabbit?" -Wes


Orlando


"Here I go. Take a picture of me me me me. me!" -da bunny


"I should have brought my Big Hit to shut that bunny up." -Wes


Ripping it up


Weird stuff some racers did on this section.



ncrider -I will own David.


"Take a picture of me me me me me. I passed Wes, did you see it? Did you get a picture of it?" -tj -who secretly swapped shock spring on my bike and made the excuse that there was something wrong with his Balfa.

manwithgun


Pinning it


"I think I did well on this bike." Intensedrider :p


ncrider's run


Orvan's slow run -getting his 1st rear der casualty in racing.


"WTF?" -Wes
"I've counted ten on my fingers. So I'm counting the next 20 on my backribs for the number of seconds I beat you by." -tj


Pro Women -Stephanie got second.


Conrad (ncrider) got 3rd


Orv's got third too but with a way slowerrr time.


"Can you see it? I'm glowing." - le bunny


"All eyes here. I dominated and ruled! I won, yup AGAIN!!!" -CJ


Rumor amongst the parents is that they are protesting lovebunny's participation due to intimidation and harrassment administered to their kids by Thomas "crazy fast" Jones during the races. -SRC Newsletter.

Winter Series Overall Champs.
Oz finally finished a complete series for a change. He bagged first and his best buddy got second. Rivalry carries on in the next series but I think ncrider will be joining their class soon and f' things up for both of them :p


ncrider undoubtedly and uncontestedly (I love making up new words)took first overall in his class.


manwithgun came in the semi pro ranks and spanked everybody. Awesome job, jim!!!


"I didn't get overall because I didn't race the minimum of 4 races but let's just assume I am the champ. Wes, where are ya at?" -da bunny


It was another great race weekend....next up........SEA OTTER!

Oh yeah, I'll be racing that one so there might not be as many pics, but I'll try :)

don't they force you to move up?

one of the race series here pushes you up with 3 podiums in the 6 race series.
