Mob 'n the Mojave

3rd this weekend in open Super-D. Still unsure about where I ended up in DH, there were some concerns about timing. I heard I got 18th which kinda surprises me b/c I thought I had a pretty fast and clean run...we'll see. Video by Wednesday here and on Bikemag.com.

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP

Found on the web....

From the Screamin Santa Suepr D in December. Scroll down this page and notice that I'm wearing sunglasses in the other pic but not this one. My favorite sunglasses flew off when I wrecked.....

Worst winter weather ever....

By now you may have figured out that the frequency of my blog posts is directly related to the amount of riding I'm doing at any given time...thus nearly no updates this winter. I haven't ridden locally since late November....every time the snow begins to melt we get hit with more (like today). If snow alone wasn't bad enough, it is also F'n cold! I'm not sure it got above freezing more than a single day in January and continuing that trend we won't be getting out of the 30's for at least the next 10 days.

I'm not "hardcore" like this guy, so I've joined a gym and been hitting it hard on the stationary (cringe) bike and doing some pre-season conditioning. Should prove to be a beneficial thing as this is the first time I've taken it seriously and really stuck with it. I think I'm at the point now where I have the on-bike skills sharpened sufficiently well, but could see huge gains with improved strength and fitness. I've gotten a load of inspiration and tips from James Wilson and his tremendously helpful site BikeJames.com.

Headed back to Bootleg for this coming weekend's Mob in the Mojave where I'll be racing, product testing, and covering the event for Bike. Looking forward to sunshine and shuttles! My bikes are dialed, pictured is my Endorphin freshly rebuilt with some new bits and lovely azure Chromag Fubars. My V-Tach is looking proper too with a Boxxer World Cup now adorning the front end.

Ride on! (indoors or out!)
