haha, busted!

more shots might come later, once I've sorted 'em out. Building up a backlog here, gah…

You've got a backlog of shots of dbaker's butt, Dan? :P

MAJOR props to all those involved with this race - it was my best experience ever!!!

I was absolutely shocked that I shaved off a whole minute and 2 seconds off last year's run. Even accounting for rain and muck, that's still a significant difference - woohoo!!!

Always proud to be a part of the Muddbunnies team :woot:

you can always make more money but you can never make more time.

I think it's called work for a reason. Or else they probably would have called it fun-time at the fun factory.

Jeff's "Alternative Cornering Technique"

Unlike Dan, I wasn't prepared for Jeff's "Alternative Cornering Technique" but I did get the 'crotch to bar shot'.

I know that I scared the crap out of both of the guys I passed too. Thanks goes to the 2 of you for getting out of the way as soon as you could, as I know you were racing too.

I thought Chris might catch me with the 30 second spacing, but you did shock me with that speed!!!!
Good to see you make that new line on the corner. Next time I will do the drop, therefore carry more speed up that hill.

A little late, but………..

Great weekend. Thanks to the vollies and all the organizers. It was a really great time and I just love that course. Except where you have to pedal. :mad: From the step up to the log gap and down into that little valley was easily the best part of the course. When I rode through there it sounded like I was riding through a stadium with a hundred thousand people in it. What a wicked feeling!

Enjoyed a few of the other trails too. That damn swivel teeter on Cunting Stunts got me again. Stupid teeter.

Where are all the pictures? There were five thousand people with cameras up there. Come on!

Congratulations Ewan. Wicked run. I guess you studying my helmet cam footage and steeling all my lines helped hey?

Here is a helmet cam I took of the course with some witty banter and a great song to accompany it.
