So Andy and I are in Whistler for 2 weeks or so...mostly just riding DH bikes and having a good time; also there is a big race here this weekend so we entered that (Red Bull 5000 Down). Qualifying was yesterday, we both got a mid-pack finish despite the mud and yicky roots. I crashed once when a bear jumped out in front of me! I kid you not...
Today was the mass start race, I've put up a video of part of my race run. We woke up to rain, and by the time we got to the top of Whistler Peak there were 4 or 5 inches of fresh snow! That made for a very interesting start...anyway, the snow and mud made things exciting, but I was doing pretty well (in 5th place) until I got a flat tire :( I wound up finishing 10th place, which I'm stoked about since I rode more than half the race flat!
The video isn't the best quality, due to the fact that it was pissing rain most of the time, and the batteries froze and turned off just above In Deep, and just a moment before I flatted in a big crack in the rock. So enjoy, and we'll put more (shorter) stuff up ASAP!!!
