Sea Otter roll call

Postby rubbersidedown » Tue Apr 15, 2008 10:41 am

Anyone going to the biggest cycling event in the USA? All you little BMX'icans could really take advantage of your skills, plus get a chance to meet a lot of riders and industry folk.

Mitch and I are headed that way first thing in the morning, he's racing Dual Slalom and Downhill.

Good to hear! We will be there on the DS course cheering him on. Sounds like the weather might be kind to all of us this year. Is he racing Jr.X? Have a safe trip. See you there

Been here a couple days already :D
The forecast is looking favorable but a little cooler for Saturday and Sunday. Big event and cool vibe. We have our new GT and Mongoose trailers and bikes premiering this week.

Swing by the GT and Mongoose pits to say "Howdy!"

Cheers!

If he wins by 2 minutes, we'll have to start calling him a sandbagger.

I hope he wins by that far. USAC won't let me register in Junior Expert for Downhill until he has two top 5th place finishes.

Okay, sandbagger maybe? Mitch came in 2nd in DS Jr-Ex, 8th in DH Jr Sport. He looked strong on the DS course. I watched him throw down with some serious style on the famous DS course. I think his qualifying time was up there with the Pro-Semi pro. Congrats little Rope- I am sure once you get some time on your DH bike you will be laying down some smoking times as well.

If you know your state USAC official (and you do), then you can get an exemption and have him moved into expert. There's no arguing that he's qualified for it.

Justin

I take it your that state representative, if you would make that request for us we would greatly appreciate it. If you need Mitch's USAC number call me at 801.648.6344, if it can be changed by Angel Fire that's the next event we'll try to get to.

Thanks
Kerry
