| KELLY'S CLAYMORE |
|
|
|
Well Claymore finals went down on the weekend, the weather was sweet as, the course was sweet as, my bike was sweet as. Everything was sweet as.
It was great to have another kiwi (paul Langlands) there to shred with, and break down the largely north American field.
We showed up pretty early on sat morn as we had to get Pauls forks changed as he AXED them in a massive crash in training the night before ...( top of the wall ride to nose case the deck of the quarter, gnaaarly!!!)
I had a couple things to get done in training and ended up having a big off cork flipping from quarter to bank which landed me in the 1st aid room. A few bandages later I was back on the course ready to take my run , I laid down a safety run 1st up with a couple of mistakes , but was good to have a full run in the bag, Paul had a couple mistakes in his 1st run also and we scored about the same I think.
For my 2nd run I wanted to send it , I was going well I rode the top of the course clean and smooth I 3ed the drop mid course , when I barrel flipped out of the quarter to bank my tyre blew out , I was hella pissed about that , and my run was done .
For my 2nd run I wanted to send it , I was going well I rode the top of the course clean and smooth I 3ed the drop mid course , when I barrel flipped out of the quarter to bank my tyre blew out , I was hella pissed about that , and my run was done .
Pauls 2nd run was all good he stomped everything including a maaaasive supz seat grab mid course . hell yeah Paul ended 15th and me 18th ...KIWIS !
I am sitting 13th now in the FMB standings http://fmbworldtour.com/2010/ranking-results/ so will be trying to do well in Colorado next weekend to stay close to the top ten for Crankworx.
