As we were producing Women Of Dirt Miles came up with this little video he put together at the 2008 WomenzWorx. Thought you all might like it. Women Of Dirt is done and off to DVD Duplication. We are putting together a line of shows that start with the Premiere in Seattle on February 5th. If your ride group or bike shop would like to put on a showing of this film please contact Mark. We have had many people show interest and will have a full schedule shortly.
We have been a little slow with new web content. That is because we have been busy putting the final touches on Awesome Land: Women Of Dit. We have finished major editing and the film is now in final score, color correction, etc. mode. The World Premier is in Seattle on February 5th. DVDs will be for sale by that time. Soon we will be back to providing the web content you have come to love. Thanks for your support.

Halloween is my favorite holiday. Not just for it’s invitation to be inventive and put on a persona that embodies your wild, evil or funny side, but for it’s invitation to throw out the ordinary and dawn the different. Miles and I put together a couple videos that embody this craziness. We got help from Lisa Myklak and Emily Johnston while shooting with them for Women Of Dirt. We also got help from Andy Voight and Scotty Warner from DWB Racing. Have fun!!!!

One of the great things about our sport is how every event feels like a family reunion. The Transition Bike’s Demo Day at the Colonnade had exactly this tone. Riders came together under I-5 and put a hurting on the the jumps. Especially, K-line. The lip was built up on the Rainbow Bridge and riders such as Transition’s own Casey Groves were showing the rest of us how to trick a big jump. I admit, I don’t have the ability to throw a back flip over a gap, but my fun was just being there and taking part in a great fall afternoon of bike riding. An in my own way, I improved on my own abilities. It just seemed easier going hard when you are being towed in by some of the best - Mike Metzger, Lars Sternberg.

Today was one of the nicest days for weather that we have had. The crowds are starting to role in big. They are expecting thirty to forty thousand spectators this weekend. The XC events were in full swing today as well.
Injuries during the practices this week have plagued a few riders. Andrew Neethling broke his hand, Rennie has tore up his hand as well. Aaron Gwin took a nasty spill yesterday and is gimping around walking the course today. Looch has had a few crashes as well, he seems to be fine and was sporting Northwest Flannel during practice.
I believe that flat tires are going to be the undoing of many a rider during the Finals. I would say that every 20th rider down the hill has flattened during practice.

Australians take Womens and Mens 4x. Caroline Buchanan and Jared Graves are our new World Champions.
It was a great evening of racing under the lights on the hill at Stromlo park . What a heart breaking loss for Jill Kitner, who was runner up in the womens 4x to Caroline Buchanan with reigning World Champ Melissa Buhl taking third.
To see the tears of joy from Jared Graves after winning and battling for so many years to finally come away with his World Champion stripes was inspiring. Yeah, Jared! I have had a chance to hang with the Yeti guys this trip and I can’t wait to see Jared later. To see the entire Yeti Squad supporting Jared and sharing in this joyous moment was awesome - and to win in front of your own countrymen, what could be better.
I can hear the interviews in the other room with top participants. I will get some alone time with Jill and Jared later. I could tell Jill was disappointed and didn’t really want to talk to anyone, but I gave her a small hug and a pat on the back. She will be back hungrier than ever. She is such an awesome competitor.
Tomorrow we will be back to DH. I hope to have some good shots then.
