This past weekend was the 2009 US Open of MTB @ Diablo Freeride Park. I was a blast! The top racers in the world cup series were there to win....and Iron Maiden and I were there to watch.
I got to meet Monster/Specialized Mechanic, Jacey.

Saw one of my Favorite photographers, Sven Martin
Iron Maiden was truly hard core this weekend
She Tried Down Hill. Not only did she try it for the first time. She was the 1st woman on the East Coast to ride the Prototype Turner DHR w/ DW Link. She got so lucky b/c Dave Weagle was under our umbrella walking back to the pits in the rain after the giant slalom finals and convinced her to try out his new bike.
She loved Down Hill...All the trills and the spills
Aww!
She still loves Down Hill even with her "Sprained" wrist...
She's in alot of pain and is getting a second opinion b/c the first doctor was a fucking jack ass!
The Iron Sheik was on hand to view the bicycle spectacle
Pro Podium1. Sam Hill 2. Gee Atherton 3. Brendan Fairclough
On Memorial Day Crazy Steve had a "Monster" Picnic @ his house.
It was pretty rad being in the presence of 2 of the world's fastest Down Hill racers.
It was sensory overload eating at the same table as Sam Hill and his mechanic, Jacey.
Once the bikes started getting worked on was the best part for me.
This is Brendan's bike. both bikes are totally titzed out! Complete with Sram black box world cup boxxer fork, 1.5" headtube, 150mm rear spacing(production demo 8s are 135mm), lower BB w/ secret geometry, custom laser etched suspension hardware and anodized green, and prototype specialized tires
I wish my Demo 8 was this cool!
