We had an amazing weekend at Beech Mountain in North Carolina at this years Gravity National Champs. I really enjoyed the event because it was close to home, there were lots of friends and family there, the tracks were awesome and I was the defending National Champion. National Champs is one of the few races that I get to race dual slalom anymore and I started the weekend off right with a win on my Trek Ticket hardtail. It felt really special to win the slalom with so much local support cheering for me. Racing two events was pretty tiring by Sunday, but I hoped to give Aaron a run for his money and defend my National Title. I pushed myself hard in the final run and as a result came off my line in a few places. It was a solid run, but I knew it would need to be perfect to beat Aaron, so I was happy for the two of us to take the 1-2 for Trek World Racing. Huge thanks to Ray Waxham from Trek and Frank Stacy with Bontrager tires for being there to support us and keep our equipment race ready. Aaron and I just got into France where we will be racing this weekend at the new World Cup venue of Val d'Isere. New tracks are always fun and this is sure to be another great weekend.
