WOW did I have a good time this weekend - Thanks to everyone that was there.
For my second time ever downhilling I got 6th in mens intro 18-39 and thats after washing out on my race run. I'm really happy with that result!
Here is a picture of me hitting butter on the freeride side

Haha I saw you up at the start gate. What was your time? I was in the same class as you. It was my first time racing and I thought it was a lot of fun. Hope everyone else had fun because I know I did. Congrats Mancil.

I did a 6:08 - I would have been much faster if I didn't crash and then have to stop and pull my front brake cable out of the front wheel.
What was your time?

My time was 7:10. I felt that I did alright, only got passed once and passed someone, didnt crash. Could have gone faster. But that was my first time racing.

glad you made it out there - getting the first race out of the way is the hard part. It's all downhill from there. Next time you see me come up and introduce yourseld - I think we had like 10 monkeys there

Like well I was staying/hanging out with 5 of them. I didnt know it was you until you pulled up to the start gate and the guy was like how do you pronounce that, Mancil. Then I saw you had a Kona jersey on and put two and two together.

Ugh. I had to leave Snowshoe Friday morning (after Shaums camp). Maybe I will get to lay eyes on the legendary Missy at the Mayhem in the Mountains race.

From what I have been told - she plays for the other team, so I dont think your going to see her having any kids.

Man, you guys are showing your youth. It was common knowledge back in the 90s that she swung that way . Regardless, she's been kicking ass for what, 15+ years now? The shot of her hitting the gap is effing awesome. Long live the Missile.

Actually, the BMX track has been. Sugar was on the plate because we have a semi-newb with us, Sugar's closing and we've got plenty of fall weekends at WR planned ahead.
Admit that BMX is the greatest and I might be persuaded to condescend to riding your pebbly hill this weekend :love:
Yes, that was her daughter...adopted.
BTW, Great weekend! Thanks to ALL of the Snowshoe staff for a great and memorable event. Customer service at that resort and event staff could not be better!! Again, they raised the bar even higher.
great course, a great place to be and a great place to ride!

what problem are you having with your brakes ?

The rear brakes won't bleed and keep getting air in the system. So, it has an issue somewhere, however, there is no visible sign of leakage.
