So I did an Air DH race for the first time in my life today.. which coincides with my first ever race.
I choked in many ways.. can't believe they wouldn't take my last practice lap as legal tender. Fucking Trump.
That said, it was a blast and I suggest anyone on the fence to get off it and do it next year.
I did it last year and was i was pathetic. Consider myself a pretty decent rider. Could do full practice runs and while I was tired, I was fine and still riding good by the end. In the race I hit the first jump along the road and went to pedal out of the corner to cross the road and clipped a rock with my pedal and was out of breath for the rest of the run and barely made it down, came like third last in my class. Buddy who i was practicing with and was same speed finished like 20 seconds ahead of me.
That being said, it was still awesome.
