We spent the weekend at Hawksnest ski resort for the Dirty bird DH race. I see nothing much has changed here at "the noob palace". It was a great weekend,I had no idea how freakin' fast the girlscout has gotten until I watched him race this weekend. He was killing this rythym section with a big kicker at the end.The Jr class was loaded with smoking fast kids and he was somewhere in the 3rd to 5th range. It started rainng buckets about 30 min. before his race run. He tried to pin it in the slop and had one of the biggest crashes I have ever seen. He managed to launch himself off a big double,upside down and without a bike. He landed on his back and shoulder and went bouncing off into the woods.It took us about a min. to get his bike out of the woods and make sure he was OK. He missed first place buy 50 seconds....... I though we were gonna haul him off on a back board but he got up and finished his run. I got a crapload of pics but it'll take me a day or two to sort them out. I'll put up a thread in a few days.
