Hoppe is still fast as ever, even when his "legs feel dead".. Whatever man!
The HIGHLIGHT of the day was of course, Randy (aka hippy) doing a 5 second endo over his handlebars into the creek bed!!!
So, picture this, a 275 pound man balancing on the front of this 29er wheel for a second or two trying to figure out if he is going...
- Over the handlebars
- Over to the side
- Maintaining his balance and coming back down with his rear wheel..
Well the creekbed had a choke hold on his front tire so it was not going anywhere and over the bars he went. Funniest thing I have seen in a looooooong time!!

Me on the right, pretty pumped, its my first potium EVER.... I did pass the number 4 guy in the last 30 yards to get it. I think he was changing out his water bottle or some s#!t. Owe well, he passed me while I was putting air in my front tire. Should have been paying attention...
Crook and I for the start.. Kinda glad I did some trial running this past month.
Pic of Hoppey. I am sure going like a bat out of hell..
Crook on a log crossing.
Me, same crossing, somehow don't look as graceful... Anyway...
I think this is Crook, but not sure...
