Posted for your amusement. Not my best race, and managed to not win the series (in fact, did so bad I ended up 4th in the series).

Lets see if I can get the formatting right here.

how was the TRIP LULZZZZZ

Good enough that I did it again on the second lap on a different part of the track, where there were no cameras.
Bad enough that after stacking twice in the first 40 minutes, I walked the section in the photo on laps 2 and 3.

Maybe you should stop drinking before riding your bike.

The drinking/racing was last week (Singlespeed nationals) which I didn't attend :P

Believe me, there were many hung over riders there.

God damnit, don't you hate it when you fall over stupidly a couple times and become a huge pussy about a little obstacle you know you can do...

There is this little eroded rise at the end of a pretty easy hill but its got a bunch of very very slippery roots across it (since so many people have spun their tyres on it) which you have to hop up to get through. Its a bit of a pain because its right on top of a right angle turn going in on a single. So you cant get much speed going in and if you misjudge it and land with your back wheel on the root and peddle, of course your rear wheel spins on the root and you start to slip out the bike from under you. For the first time in a year or more of riding I spazzed out and couldn't clip out before I fell down into a tree and rubbed my arm and knee straight down some rough ass bark and gave myself a nice set of grazes.

I haven't ridden through it since then. I figure if I haven't ridden back through it by the time the s*** heals, Ill just give up :P
