one day i went to italy





then the power flowed like no other.

i could do no wrong, its one of those magic days on the bike were its no pain and you rip it.

and the next day, the tomes felt the same way. 4 min win. frishy 2nd, ned, don myrah and weins all in the top 5.







these were the days before dopers.



















the history lesson is:
i learned 2 things that day.
5 weeks before that i broke my collar bone. i though i wasnt going, it forced me to take 3 weeks off of riding, after that i did 10 days of riding, 4 days of hard stuff and it makes you take time off.

2nd is 1st place guy had a new manitou that just came out, like the one on tomacs bike in the picture.

he rolled away from me on the dh, 1 minute 20 on the dh gained. technology over a rigid fork. it was faster and i lost.

rip the dh or lose.

I had a response to Anon who left the Bruce Springsteen quote that has since been erased. That only applies to ball sports. Cris is still riding and racing. The dude in the bar is lazy and washed up, probably has not played the game in years, he is done with his active life. Its ok to reminisce. Cris is still in the game, may not be as fast as he use to, but he is still in the game, the dude in the quote isnt.
