Early April going off jumps at Snowbird. Landed perfectly fine but felt it go as I was still landing. ACL and Meniscus. Thumb also injured in the mêlée of trying to slow down with my knee gone. Originally Posted by JTrue

While normally there's a serious shortage of shuttle drivers for riding at the B, I believe on race day they have a company that does it and they tell you you have to take the official shuttle truck. But photogs and spectators are always appreciated too...

Sorry to hear that Alex, heal up fast. I should have a bike soon, so we should go for a ride when you are healed up a bit. Originally Posted by Shepherd Wong

Tomorrow's the day! Anyway I hope to see at least the regulars up there. I'll be close to the bottom as I'm relatively immobile. Warm Pabsts waiting at the finish also.

Few shots from yesterday. This definitely isn't a spectators course for those who can't ambulate well.
Mr. Altagirl.
Altagirl.
Rotorhead.
A few non-mag associates.
And a few cool shots.
This didn't end up as bad as it might have.

Nice pics...maggots looking good on the bikes. I hope you get better soon man, getting hurt sucks. But hey, on the bright-side, at least you didn't get hurt biking, then you would have to miss most of ski season
Way to make the most of your injury, providing us with quality stokage.

Mr.AG, Rotorhead and Chad (associate #1 in the pics) all got 2nd. They all did great but were bummed to be a couple seconds away from a win. I was the only expert woman, so I just had to finish. Which was nice considering my rear brake went out completely at the drop in to Sunny Bono (the lower singletrack section). Yikes. I kept pumping it up like crazy and would get a little bit back here and there, let off it and it'd be completely gone again. Wake up call is that much more exciting when you don't know if your rear brake will work or not. After the drop-in to the finish line it was gone completely and I was so panicked that I was going to endo into something that when it suddenly worked again, I ended up nearly stopping short of the finish and had to pedal again. Some situational awareness would be good... but I guess at least I didn't endo into the announcer's booth. Originally Posted by yentna

I'm glad to have a break. 4 races in a week was silly.
And thanks again for driving us up and for taking the pics!

That is a killer pic, huh? I heard he wrecked hard. Disgusting that he can recover from that and still be that damn fast."Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a Ride!"
