This hill kicked my butt.

Literally. You should see the bruise. I think I went down twice on each lap ! Once dismounting, once running. At least Ash didn't get me going down on it and has footage of other people going down on it for me to show off:

Helmets

I hit a tree today. Barely. With my head. Going around a turn. If I didn't have a helmet on, I probably wouldn't have hit it. But I was glad I had it on. Better safe than sorry, right?

Just One Today

Raced the B's only today, too tired for the SS. Ash says I'm sick and have been dragging around all weekend. Sounds good coz I just couldn't make power today, I only had one speed and it was slow. Ash did awesome though, had a sizeable lead until she dropped a chain, and hung on to second in her race.

SLC Wednesday

Haven't blogged about a few cross races...Finally got video so I'll post it soon.

Went up to SLC to do the bobsled again, then we did city creek and hit the I-street jumps. The guys we rode with were hitting these huge doubles and even on the small ones they got tons of air. This is Tom doing a 5 foot tall ladder ramp with a 15-20 feet gap to the landing. I was pretty much right under him when I was taking this picture.

I was jumping racer-style, low and fast. It was fun riding with some guys that have a totally different riding style then I do and learning their tricks and stuff.

Oh, and I hit the big drop at the end of the bobsled full speed. Awesome. It was great when everyone regrouped and Ash wouldn't believe I did it.
