Fontucky Gold

HOLY SCHIZZLE! Christmas came early to the Rowan household, as Conor (semi-pro DH) took FIRST PLACE in XC on Sunday at Fontucky. After carb loading on a case of Newcastle, Conor stormed his way to the Gold, and did so with a healing but busted collar bone.
Conor's wing-man, Jay, took 10th place in men's semi-pro DH. Great finish for a long and pedally dh run that was filled with rocks, ruts, and a 62 mph wind. Taylor (aka Charles) busted some ass and took the Bronze home for the greatest team in Cali, doing his run in 2:38 flat..I think. Flyin' Ryan parker came out o do his first DH race as an expert, on a borrowed bike, and still grabbed a tenth place spot. He did this with a gnarly crash in practice, whereby he lost his shoe!
Thanks to the guys for going big yesterday. I would also like to thank the XC crew members who came out to support the gravity wing of Backbone. New teammate Joy D. came with her man, and DOZER the dog. Christie and Greg brought Murphy, Teri came with a friend, and Ara drove in with me to set up and feed. I will post pix as soon as I get them! I have new short films from Jim Roff to post, as soon as I figure out how! Thanks everyone, and we'll see ya'll at next Sunday's TURKEY TRIZZLE in Glendale!
