I have just posted a boat load of photos from the Northstar DH Race this Sunday. They are at:

http://bikeguy.smugmug.com/gallery/5491769_QPhxF#335869656_5s7EZ


Most of the photos are from the little gap jump near the bottom of the course. Unless I was stupid there should be a photo(s) of everybody who raced. The photos are arranged be start time with some practice photos at the beginning.

These are full-sized files that can be saved to your computer. Use the SAVE PHOTO Option when you move the cursor over the right hand side of the large photo on the page. Feel free to use for your personal use.

I'm real glad the rain stayed away until after the race was over. Here are some that I like:

See a chain there? :rofl:

[bdamschen]

heheh nice Pat. I'm bummed I didn't get to watch the spectical that was you starting your race run with no chain.

Awesome shots as usual Rick! I almost forgot how spoiled we are to have your quality pics at races until I tried to find some of a colorado race I was at a few weeks ago.

Thanks Ian for bending my der back to semi straightness for the race!

pat did the deraileur not work?

[bdamschen]

His deraileur was good to go, but since he had been riding with out a chain the day before, he didn't notice that his chain guide was spaced too far back from his guide ring so he got chain suck on his practice run.

Personally- I think at this point he just likes running chainless for everything.

[Pat...]

I think it may be because that BB spacer is a mm too big... I think it started fvcking up after I put that spacer in a while ago. Instead of rubbing, the chain falls behind the ring... Would that be a reason for it to happen?

Should I do all the other races this year chainless? I beat 12 people!

[Jump Chump]

oh man, I guess there's no pics of #79 running the race on a flat tire? I was hoping for a pic to show the family!

super fun race!

Damn it sounds like you guys had a good time up there. I hope I can make it to the August race. If not, the next one for sure. Still waiting on some parts, but the bike can almost stand on its own. =]

[Total Heckler]

Damn. Everyone is going that weekend. I am going to be at mammoth drinking beer at a beer festival. Oh well. Maybe sometime next month we can all go again.
