Today I was riding with a partner as it was a two man event. My partner was Shelden Jupp. We were both on kawasaki's which was good. When we turned up the weather was pretty good we did our look lap and it was time to race. I got down to the start line and got ready, most people werent for some reason the shoot gun went off so I ran to my bike and it went in the second kick and off I went.
I was in the top five for sure, everyone backed of for the brow where I gained time then I jumped in to third not long after the start Brayden went real low in a corner to pass thomas for first not long later I shot around the outside of Thomas and pulled a gap from the pack but never caught Brayden. I did two laps before I handed it over to Shelden who did a lap then gave it back to me. Cam St Clair just got past me as I exited the pits, when we got in the trees Cam got stuck behind a back marker then fell off. I shot over a log for the class lead to get past both of them at the end of the trees I hit a root and fell off but got on before Cam got close. It was all good till I approuched a brow where I forgot that you had to turn left a bit and was heading for the fence. I tried to jump off but my foot got caught up in the back wheel and the bike took me into the fence where I couldnt move lucky Cam was really nice and helped me out of the fence which I couldnt thank him enough. I got back and Shelden did a lap and got blown off his bike so when he came back he could'nt do another lap so I quickly jumped in my gear and rode his bike cause mine was bent. We were in fifth then. I pushed hard and managed to climb back to 3rd by the chequered flag.
Would have been nice to win, but it was one of those days. It was also Sheldons first XC, thank Sheldon for teaming up.
