Unfortunately, I missed the live webcast of the Vienna Air King but I just saw the results. Our man from Russia… Pavel Alekhin, A.K.A. “Vishnivey” made the Finals and finished 10th overall against what could arguably be the best mountain bike dirt jumpers in the world… brakeless.
Nice work Vishneviy!!!
This is just a heat… Damn!!!

We’re ok here…
Last weekend was the Fontana City National in scenic Fontana, Ca. where the weather and dirt were perfect and I was ready to race… or so I thought. You may or may not have read or heard about last weeks National DH course but Donny and his crew did a great job of the new course.
The DH course had a bit of everything… fast, flowy start with a nice jump that is you picked a bad line you ended up in a bush 7 seconds into the race. After about 60 seconds of fun, it was time for the technical section. The Southridge guys cut a line straight down the face of the rockiest part of the hill. This section challenged everyone to be precise and on point or pay a heavy price.
Luckliy, I never had any real issues here but due to my crash in 4X in the photos below, I never hit it at race speed ( but close ) or under racing pressure… So, I was always fairly relaxed.
Still good…
Hmmm… something seems to have gone array at this point.
Enjoy!!!
I got downt to the city again this week and was able to go for a short ride! Here are a few pictures that Franky took…
