so yesterday i had my third mtb race of the season

it was amazing. the league (norcal high school mountain bike league) took one of the races out from last year and put in this new course that we just did. the course was called the mountain goat challenge

trust me it was a challenge. but the funnest course i have done in my mtb career. it started with a long and kinda steep uphill and then went into a nice fast gradual downhill with a few short ups. on the back side of one of the ups there wasa sick jump and i jumped it. then at the end of the downhill it merged onto a really nice flat single track. wen u hit it there was a small little jump right at the begining that i hit. i got like 3 ft of air no joke. but i hit it way to big so i almost crashed into a bush and then i lost control and almost fell but didnt cuz im a pro. at the end of that single trrack there was a short uphill. there was a course marshall at the junction who said " just a short uphill then a flat, technical down." i was tempted to say that if it was flat then it wasnt down, but thats hard to say when your panting and not thinking too clearly... anyway i went up the hill. it was steep. then it went into a really nice double track downhill with little jumps all over the place which i hit then it turned into an awsome forrested singletrack that ended in a sharp left aqnd then a long very gradual fire-road up. at the end of the up it merged onto a steep fire-road and then flattened into a gradual single track up. then it merged onto pavement for about 250 yards and then came the 3 sisters. or the 3 bitches. 3 really steep uphills right after another. at the end of the last one there was a sharp right and then the best part of the entire course. the long way down to the finish line.

before my race had started they were pulling people from their races because they were not finishing the 8 mile loop in time. 45 min. most people had to do 2 laps but only a few made it through the time frame. i was fully convinced that i wasnt gunna make it. but one of the coaches set up a spot where he would tell us weather or not the gate was closed when we pass by.

i hit the forrested single track down. it flowed so nicely. no skids. just really really fast everything. burms, jumps, branches in your face. there was one bum where a guy had set up a photo shoot with flash and everything. on every lap i would try my best to look as intense as possible. hahaha. there were hot chicks all over so i had to look good on my bike. i was wereing dannis grasses. i get compliments from the chicks. :) i was screaming (going really fast) through that shit. i must been going at least 25mph. then near the end the forrest cleared and there was a little jump were people were watching and stuff so i hit the jump hella hard and got hella air cuz i was going so fast. then it ended in a really sharp left which i drifted so nicely. it was sexy. pics on fb. then a sprint to the finish. i had made the time frame so i got to do another lap :)

herra fun...
