Anyone have any numbers I should be looking for in my pics? I didn't take too many, but I may have grabbed a shot or two of someone.
I was number 26. That was a super fun race!!

great pics Mark. It was a great day. I am sad that I sucked out there. The course was tough, and the competition was fierce.

Hendrix13, I don't think you were supposed to be sitting all day. You took this whole "best seat in the house" thing way too seriously....

Fantastic pics Mark. It was a great day for the event... kudos to the all the guys that entered. I don't think I would have even completed one lap of that.

Can someone lend me a 250XC for next years event....


Hello to all competitors!!

I wanted to say a huge thank you to all racers for the show you put on yesterday - the competition was insane and the media is blowing up today. I wanted to pass along the following links for you to check out photos of yourselves if you're interested.

I'm going to be working with Shane Cuthbertson to make Rocks & Logs 2014 even bigger and better so be on the lookout next year for the event announcement!

Here is some of the photo coverage:

You don't need a 250XC, just change your support crew. I don't know what that gentleman in the sunglasses is doing to you...I can't see his hands...

that is my life coach. I take him everywhere. He is really helpful when picking my clothes in the morning, or deciding what to eat for lunch.

Stretch,

You might need to get that photo blown up and put on the wall. That is a sweet picture!

The event was allot of fun and the riding fantastic to watch. Some of those obstacles were nasty to say the least.

Awesome photos Mark and cool vid Howard!!

Bark - yup that RedBull wall was cool. After watching a guy slide across it sideways in practice (sideways but upright if that makes sense) I thought for sure someone would whiskeythrottle off that wall into the abyss. But it dried up quick and I don't think anybody fell off :)

Does anyone know if they will leave the track as set up for the Rocks & Logs for awhile or go back to the regular set up? I would assume some of the components to the track design like the wood berm may go away fairly quick.

I called the track number but no one answers. I wouldn't mind having a few goes at the track.

Otherwise awesome event. I managed a few nice shots of some great riders.
