Back to Back Wins!

First Place Podium CCCX

Week #1

Two weeks, two wins. That was the goal going into the next month in the racing season….. Goal achieved! The two races i competed in were completely different all together terrain and location wise, but i came away with the Gold medal in both.

The first race was the 7th out of 8 of the local CCCX series hosted by Keith Defiebre in Monterey, CA at Toro Park. This race is a Super-D type Enduro course with fire roads, single-track, off camber chutes, drops offs, natural jumps, and lots of pedaling. The ground is dry, hard-packed, and slick in many sections. Tire choice and air pressure were a key to overall speed. Race day in Monterey was in the high 90 degrees range and was super hot for racing. I pulled together a great run and won the category by a good 9 seconds.

Week #2

Week No. 2 was an epic weekend, from messing around on Livewire and Gypsy and the Northstar Bike Park, to getting lines together for the race down Sticks & Stones.  Sticks& Stones was a very rocky, pedaling, tiring, and long race track. My time coming in at 6:05, it was a long course indeed. I had the day before to get my practice runs in and i felt strong with all my choices. Come race day i felt good and dropped in for my race run, i made a few mistakes up top but i came down the mountain in one piece and podiumed 1st place.

After both of the updated results i am now the current overall points leader and am holding 1st place overall for both the 2012 CCCX DH Series Jr Boys. 14-16  and Northstar Sport 14-17. I hope to keep this spot to the end! More updates to come….

Stoked on all the support from all my sponsors. #raceface #foxracingshox #pivothead #e*thirteen #trailheadcyclery #jetzone
