Indeed those were some great photos. Awesome crit too. Thanks.
So now that im a Cat3 are crashes still never my fault?, or do you have a different rule for different cats?
Off to A's now too? I can't say i'm sad to see you go, my legs hurt after this past weekend and I'll be glad to have one less guy attacking and making it worse for me.

Well i figured it would be my last B's race and wanted to go out with a bang.
Well, knocking folks down and then attacking through the feed zone ought to have done it. At least you weren't stringing up piano wire, eh?
Anyway, as the earlier question, in truth I have the same standard for all categories -- modern day bike racers suck. They're more interested in matching their helmets to their socks, and seeing who can spend the most on equipment, than learning tactics, bike handling, and pack manners. :p
In all seriousness, you might think about adding some bumping and wheel touching drills to your agenda. Just because the guy in front of you moves off line doesn't mean you have to take out the guy behind you -- although he shares the blame for not knowing how to handle his bike either.

^Why are you so convinced that it was my fault the guy behind me went down? Why are you bringing up blame at all for that matter? Were you at this crit? All i said was what i saw happen, i never said it was mine or the other guys fault, and here you come in making assumptions of how ignorant cat4 racers are. Well who the phuck are you.?

Calm down, mate. I'm just having a bit of fun. If you don't see the humor in a bunch of cat. 4s going on about "The crash that happened right on my back wheel!" then it's hopeless.
But hey, now that you're a cat. 3, you sure as hell don't need any advice about bike riding, I guess! LOL.

Well I KNOW it wasn't my fault.... since it was ahead of me :p
