Testing all week
This week has been awesome so far. The team and I have been testing our 2011 equipment in the beautiful weather here on the Mediterranean coast. The main focus here has been on suspension, and let me tell you, we've got it pretty freekin dialed! Justin and Christoph from fox brought a bunch of cool ideas for us to run down the hill and they've been working very hard to make sure we are on the best set ups possible. Big thanks to them. This location has some really fun tracks as well. We found one that had a lot of the qualities we you would look for in a test track. It really made for a good world cup track simulation, which is exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately Jusso had a pretty bad crash yesterday and had to sit out for most of the testing. He just had a dumb crash on a feature we didn't look at, first run down one of the tracks. Bummer for him, he's pretty soar. I've been having a great time doing laps on the test track with Aaron and Tracy. Its great to be back riding with my teammates again and awesome chasing Gwin down the hill. I did a bit of filming and photos with the Parkins too for some new projects I am working on. We hit a bmx in town and tried to get some shots of me whipping out the downhill bike which is not my best attribute haha. It was a good time though and I think we got some cool shots. Getting outside for training is such a treat too, coming from cold snowy Pennsylvania. So motivating to get on the bike with weather like this. A few more days here than back up to Granada. What an awesome time!

That sounds awesome Neko! I feel bad for the other guy, though. It's cool that you are having fun in Sunny Spain. I'm rooting for you, Bro! When you get some time off, you should explore Granada and visit some of the tourist attractions. They are very cool places like the Albrahama palace, which back in the 14 century was the last stronghold of the Muslim rulers of Spain.
