How was Tnats for you all?

Got to the bottom in one piece and didn't finish last which were his two goals Windrock hasn't been historically kind to him racing so his mindset was just take it easy have fun not really push it hard and complete all the stages in one piece. Couple of his friends and teammates got 2 and 3 in U 21 sport. Another friend got hurt pretty bad Saturday and had to goto the hospitol. Overshot the last big jump on Talladega before you turn into dropout.

I screwed my son the first day of practice as I serviced his fork last month in preparation and apparently didn't set the rebound on his fork. Said his fork was way too sagged. Tried more air at first to make it ride higher. Also More compression. Finally checked the rebound after 3 runs. D'oh. I had the rebound dialed all the way closed and didn't adjust it back to where it needed to be. 2nd day was much better. With two more races at Windrock this year he's decided he needs a bigger bike for Windrock. 140/150 just isn't cutting it.

Camped beside some of those SRAM/Rockshox suspension tuners who were doing all the work with Gravity Academy. Cool dudes. Met Gwinn. Got to listen to ASA and Neko go over their suspension setups with their tuners as they made laps. Also cool. Really like the new setup. Don't like the prices in the bike shop.
