Over the weekend of the 14th-15th this month I decided I wanted to do the Diablo Team Event!
At first I wasn’t quite sure of what the turn out was going to be but I thought we might as well go as we had a good shot at winning.
The rules of the race was you had to have 4 people on the team and since the race had very few people we all had to have 2 race runs that count towards your overall time!
Our team which was originally Team Super Awesome but was changed to Team RAD ( Riders About Domination) consisted of Neko Mulally, Sasha Merljak, Chris Heath and Myself.
The race itself wasn’t a huge success as there were only 4 Pro Teams but, it was very laid back race and we all had a ton of fun!
Our Team was very consistent with our times and we ended up winning close to 10 seconds I think? Not really sure.
The rest of the day we ended off with some little competitions of our own… Who could do the coolest whip…. the best “Goon” style… we all ended up on the Alpine trail and with Diablo now sponsored by FreeLap timing systems you can now time yourself on certain trails! Alpine trail was a well known trail fitted out with the timing and the whole track consists of berms after berms after berms… with 2 wall rides.
The track was short with the previous record time I think was a 1:16.. I knew I had this as I had followed Neko down and ended up with a 1:17 without even trying!.. So in the end I had a flying run after I had 4 others race runs where I was cut off by other riders… I ended up with a 1:12… so that was a lot of fun!
Anyways that was the main joy of my day! I hold the record for the fastest time on Alpine now and it will be a little hard to beat…although I know I can go at least 2 seconds faster as the track was very dry and rough plus I had done 5 other race runs and was pretty physically challenged! … so I’m hoping for a 1:09 next time… So ya thats about it…
I will see you guys at Mt Snow!
Cheers
