vermont drive was complete crap. i offically hate driving now. the DH course was like nothing i have ever rode in my life time. all mud, and rocks that you couldn't even see. plus the fastest course on the circut added for some scary but exciting times. i never got comfortable during practice so my race run was just a crappy practice run. and i ended up coming in 4th place. so im pretty mad about that finish. but atleast my good friend JD won!
slalom was fun, a short, fun course, plus a walking lift made for killer racing and riding. i got super lucky cause everyone i raced was having chain problems, and ended up second.
COLE BANGERT PRO DH NATIONAL CHAMP! SICK!
then we loaded up again and headed down south for north carolina. this is probly one of the best courses on the whole national series. fast, technical, and all around a fun course. but the chair lift was super slow and killed the riding buzz! for the DH race day i was feeling super good and knew i had this one on lock. but as we headed up for race run it started raining and making everything wet and slick. my race run was going nearly perfect when i went into a creek crossing and hit a rock and went over the bars, then had to turn my bike around run up a muddy slick hill, and proceed to pedel my bike into a flat muddy section while in the hardest gear. i finished 3rd with a 4:15, second had a 4:13, and first had a 4:06. my fall was atleast a 10 to 15 second fall and possibly 20 seconds. so had i stayed on my bike. i feel i could of won by a good margin. but i didnt and thats racing.
slalom was a super fun course long too. times around 40 seconds. i qualified 3rd and went on to get second place. taylor calvert won.
now were back in colorado and we have a weekend off before snowmass finals. im gonna train my ass off and hopefully take the win for the finals.
plus i turned my world championship petition in and it looked really good! the team will be announced next week!
