whats upp errrrbody, just got back from AF super late last night. The weekend and the AngelFire 5 DH race, 2 day event was awesome! Race course 1 - Boulder Dash - one of the most popular trails at the bike park. Boulder dash is a blue rated trail that has endless tabletop jumps from top to bottom. I had a pretty clean run and ended up 6th of 27 in the open men category, 1.0 seconds away from 4th place. fitness is where I could've improved my time on this course. there were some flat areas where I could've cranked harder and stayed out of the saddle and made up more time Race Course 2 - Chillin' to Lemonade - Chillin is one of the gnarliest double black trails on the mountain. steep and very chunky, many opportunities to get caught up hard if you get comfortable, and connects to the Lemonade trail, which is a very fast and bermy blue trail. I felt super fast up top in the gnarly stuff but my rear tire slid out in one of the huge berms on upper chillin', it felt like I got on my bike again really quickly, but watching the video, it was about a 12 second mistake. the time loss dropped me down 2 spots for 8th place for the day, and 8th place overall for the event. a couple of mentions - these DH race formats are different than the local enduros. at the local enduros, they strap a timing chip on your bike and say "go do all the stages in any order and at your own pace, have fun". whereas these dh races, you have a specific number plate, specific start time, and you have to line up and watch people launch until its your turn. the nerves and anxiety leading up to your run it a hardcore mental game! check it out - also - day 1 I raced my beloved Guerrilla Gravity Megatrail 160/160 27.5, was an excellent choice for the boulder dash race course. But after me race run, I felt pretty pumped and decided to do a hot lap down World Cup DH with a group of guys there. In the front of the pack, in one of the gnarliest sections of the trail. the unthinkable happened. My Chromag BZA Carbon 800mm bar's left grip snapped off with zero warning in the middle of pinning it through a nasty rock garden! I went down pretty hard but luckily landed in about the softest part of the whole trail. missed any big rocks any everything. my reaction was mainly adrenaline and having the shit scared out of me once that grip broke away!

Let me reply to this thread when I get to my desk at work Tuesday morning. I have a pretty convincing post for y’all 😉
