You sure can talk with the keyboard.
Seriously, it won't be long before you are ripping it up on the track with the Juniors and then Intermediates. Just give it 2 more years.

I bruised the tailbone and have swelling in the muscle/tissues in my lower back and butt. Nothing broken thank goodness. It looks like I will be down for at least a couple of weeks though.

As far as moving up to Junior I think that I will be ready soon. I have to get more comfortable with my starts and need to get more time in riding to condition myself for the length of the races. Minus the back injury I would have been anxious to get out for another lap at the Moose. I would have liked to have seen my lap time down under the 1:30 mark.

Ouch, I did that once snowboarding. It is bad. It lasted quite a while. I had to go the football pad store and get those football shorts with the butt pad. A little uncomfortable on chairlift/seat but it got me going again a lot faster.

As for the riding, you are doing really well. Keep it up....

Pro = A lot of Lip Flapping????

Congrats on the wins! Dobi, I am not sure if I want to know how you got a swollen 'behind'...I am sure it's a very colorful story and all. Good to hear it was a good race. Was it very hot? I know it was hot in the City while I slaved away at work you guys were enjoying some great riding!

Don't worry Glen I am going to take some pictures this weekend when I get my digital camera and I will send you plenty of disturbing images

The heat wasn't too bad up in the mountains. The muskeg patches were a nice relief when I got that glob of skeg down my neck

I have heard from a few people that the flagging could have been a little better. I missed 3 corners by following the person in front of me and then took it upon myself to actually look for the ribbons and never missed another corner. I also think it makes you faster as it forces you to look further down the trail as you ride. Just my $0.02
