Aaron Chase blogging from Claymore – Part 2
The riders are tossing more spins and tricks and the course keeps getting better.
Qualies came and went with a few lumps, but everyone got to take their riding up a level. I think riders were more excited to up their game because they were comfortable with what they are riding. I know that’s how it works for me. I am in the finals qualifying 11th and have more to bring to the table. The only problem is I know that everyone else does too! Wish me luck…
