Cairns Masters DH Worlds - last practice run

The track dried a lot since the day before. I needed to check a few lines and hit the jumps. Super fun.
Prayers for the injured rider.

If I turned the sound off and turn the entire video black and white, I can still see you're the one riding! Everything you taught is there and if one pays close attention to your instructional stuff and sees this video a lot of stuff falls beautifully into place! ROck n roll!!!

Wow thank you!! This is how I ride when I let it all go. The training (and RipRow) makes this possible.

It's great to see you getting it in. I hope the injured rider isn't too bad off. Anyway, Good Luck and remember you're a winner no matter how the race goes.

This place is so rad! The people are rad too.

I’m still unsure about bringing a trail bike to a downhill fight. That Demo is such a good bike. Was it because of the time to get used to it and setup etc? Those things do take some time. p.s nice save on the case buck.

[@lee_likes_bikes]

Now that I know that track, the Demo would have been faster -- especially since I'm only 51 weeks post left shoulder replacement, and my system had a hard time on the little bike in the roots. But I feel good about my decision. The Pink Mistress was fun to ride and train on. I wanted to do this for me in my way, and that's what I did. ALSO: What a great test for the Mistress Cycles geo ideas. They absolutely work!

1:06 Oof!! I felt that! Best of luck, Lee. We're all right behind you. Like the opposition will be!

[@lee_likes_bikes]

Row/anti rowed the bar into the camera!! :) Seeding run was pure standup comedy straight from the Holy Oreo. Folded the ring out of the gate, chainless run on a track with uphills, got the big jumps with the chain around my foot! Seeded near last. Final caught my first guy in a sloppiest part and crashed. Back to riding like a boss … kept it clean, finished with a bent down tube and a straight heart. Awesome!!!

[@phoenixinthetrees1446]

@@lee_likes_bikes That does sound comical / really dangerous! But I hope it's all the bad luck out of the way. This seems like a real challenge for you but it's inspiring to see you tackling it so well. Keep rolling!

[@kenshomi2]

so stoked for you
