Year: 2009

Couple of links came across my email this evening and I thought I’d share them with you. Both of them are regarding Fox products: the F29 and the RP23. The first one is for the 2010 Fox F29. It has something many people have been wanting out of a Fox F29… stiffness via TA. In…

This weekend was a busy one at Fontana’s Southridge Park. Coming out of a long Winter Series, most of my teammates decided to pass on this race. With renewed confidence from the last race, I decided to enter the Downhill Beginner 34-42 category. Unable to practice on Friday, I showed up to the race bright…

This weekend was the last race of the Winter Series at Fontana and it is almost sad that it is over. Saturday we pulled in our usual TEAM spot and found that Eric “Animal” Hunter had already made it warm and toasty with his portable fire pit! It was rather chilly Saturday morning and thought…

Saturday morning I headed out to Fontana for the 6th and final race of the Shimano Winter Series; very relieved to know this would be the last race of the series and a little concerned as I knew heading in that I wasn’t close to being in my best shape.  I skipped the 5th race…

Sprint ALL the time! Featuring a beautiful…

My Saturday started with a practice DH run. I hiked up to the start since I like to stop and check out some of the sections of the DH course. As I was walking up the hill, I also noticed the Yellow signs with the blue arrows, these are the signs that marked the SuperD…

This weekend I packed the cooler full of my new favorite drink. No, its not some fancy beer, but its a new flavor from Capri Sun, Mountain Cooler. I love this drink only because it has a 80’s style mountain biker on it! Other than that, the flavor isn’t as good as Pacific Cooler, or…

All week Weather Forecasters were predicting that Sunday would bring rain to Southern California. But as you know weather people are always wrong at least half of the time. I got up around 5 am to get the trailer ready to head out to Fontana to do some practice runs. Fellow team mate, David Sanderson…
