Racing at Highland, Chilling at Home

This past weekend after some time back at home with teammates Justin Leov and Dennis Dertell we traveled north to Highland Mountain in New Hampshire for a national race. Highland is a fun place to ride and race, it's one of the best bike parks in the country. I raced there twice last year and won both times, beating both Aaron and Justin in the national. I felt good and was having a fun time all weekend. I qualied 1st by 5 seconds and was looking forward to attacking the track in the final. Unfortunately I had a big crash and was not able to do the run I was looking for. My quali time held up as the fastest of the day. I was disappointed to throw the race away, but happy that I pushed myself to ride the pace I want to ride. I had some good times this week at home with Justin and Dennis and looking forward to some more this weekend. We had a great time celebrating the 4th of July last week with some good old USA activities. My buddy came over with a bunch of guns and we shot targets all day and set off fireworks. It was a great day. It will be fun to have the weekend off this weekend and chill out before national champs in 2 weeks.
