movin up



people ask me why not race pro, sand bagging it with the amateurs.


well i like to win., or if not win then do a good ride near the front. i like to rip the dh with nobody in the way. following a train of guys on a dh is a big kick to the balls. while the top 5 are ripping it up gaining minutes.

i dont want to get shelled by kabush by 20 mins and dice it with some tool for 40th.
pros are supposed to get paid. why should i race pro if none of them do. no money no prizes, no cash. whats the allure?

i know the top 3 guys probably get some money but other than that its a free for all.

i dont want free bikes and parts. i ride the stuff i think is best and lightest. parts that work. i dont want to put shit on my bike cuz the team said so.

i dont need pressure from teams to do good, i do that enough on my own.
i dont want to be 5 or 6 rows back on a short track and get pulled 5 mins into a race cuz that race is all about start position.

i have never won a big semi pro race, i got 2 coming up in a week or 2 and deer valley in june. we'll see what happens but right now i have no intention of moving up.
the cons out weigh the pros.
no pun intended.

its not the fact im looking at the glass half empty,
i do what i want and its not fun to race at the back in the dust and waiting for so called pros to get out of the way on the dh.
