COLORADOOO!
Writing this from my dorm in Colorado. Grand Junction to be specific, and to narrow it down Mesa State College, Pinon Dorm, Room 322 bed B. This place is so sick. 10 miles from Fruita and and a few hours from Moab. The Center of heaven to me. I wish I had the longbow to ride it would be amazing but I would never go to class. When the production Longbow comes in I'm Picking one up. Most likely a Fox/Shimano/PRO build but I might go SRAM family.

Ticket Update And College
So lucky me the judge reduced my ticket from 472 to 376, and with 6 months of probation where if I don't get any tickets the first on won't go on my driving record. For College I leave in a little less than a week. 17 hour drive to Grand Junction Colorado. Super Stoked, bringing my fixie to get some good riding in before I get the Bow. Hopefully all goes well with lacrosse but if not I still have cycling. Might be my last post of the year but keep checking back!

2010 Wrap Up and 2011 Plans
Monday (August 2nd) was an eye opener for me. I was driving on Hwy 35 to Parkdale and was distracted and managed to get caught going 91 in a 55. Well it was a 472 dollar ticket which put a damper on the weekend. But it made me realize how much I live on the edge, I mean any minute something could have happened and i was a split second from death the whole way. But the speed didn't phase me.
The past few years of riding my bike speed has been my main issue, along with jumping which is still something I need to get past. But I have always been uneasy at speed. This season racing Super D and Mini DH I learned to push the limits, Thanks to One Ghost Industries. I hope that I get a chance to race for them next year because I plan to take it up a notch and go big this next season. I get back from college in mid May, just enough time to start the season, I'm hoping to get to the Hood River Super D, Ashland Super D, and Crankworx Canada Enduro minimum. And podium at them all at Cat 2.
Next year should be good, and I'm keeping this blog going. Check back Tuesday for a ticket update.
