Corner Grass 2014

Post by trailguy »

Dave French & crew did a great job re-creating the original CG vibe Jay started back in 2006. They put a ton of work into it and stuck with Jay's concept. :cheers:
Its amazing on a course that long that there was simply no where to rest - it was relentless :crazy:

Great and punishing race. My body feels like a truck hit it and i have bruises everywhere. :lol: i guess not crashing would have been the better approach.
Look forward to it next year.

Agreed, excellent race. It was VERY different from bush racing - definitely no chance to rest.

I managed to crash left and right so both thighs got the handlebar charlie horse treatment - stairs are far easier to descend walking backwards.

This was four turns from the finish...

Overall a great experience!

Showing off again I see Robert. Just because you know how to nose wheelie doesn't mean you have to brag about it.

First event back after missing 2013. I hurt. Everywhere.

But, super fun event and I need to get back into action. Good times!

Indeed I was showing off, and I don't stop there. This is me almost slipping up and letting the world see my super power of flying:

And this is my artful demonstration of how to land your bike perfectly upside down on the bars and seat, AKA 1983 bmx maintenance mode.

If you'll teach me some of your advanced secret skills, I'll show you how to stop real quickly. I have a method for stopping forward progress that even Shane Watts was impressed by.
