Crankworx CO And Lake Hope XC In OH This Weekend!

THIS WEEKEND WE HAVE RACES EVERYWHERE!!! YEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!
















Chuck-T left Riverside, CA (my homewtown) yesterday at 4p.m. to make the four hour "commute" to Las Vegas. He was to stop there for the night, probably call a "date" to his room, then wake up early and drive on in to the CRANKWORX FESTIVAL in Colorado! Likely to be physically drained from his night of debautchery, he will then roll into town with team DH stud and Sunline product developer Jay "Junk Box" Schippers.



















With any luck, XC teammate Corty-40 will be there too...unless the ganja has partially paralyzed the left side of his brain. He will likely get in his truck with all his gear, and drive to Mexico thinking he's just on a REALLY long road through Colorado. ORALE VATO!











Jim Roff will also hopefully get to roll in with Jay-Box. Jim has a bad-ass TOMAC PRIMER DH BIKE that he has been putting through it's paces between CO and UT. He also is the proud father of a TOMAC SNYPER trail bike, and for that... I hate him.
Jimbo is seen here either passed out in a Hooter's bar or .....ok, he is SO passed out in a Hooter's bar. The Burbank Hooter's is where we used to have all of our team meetings in the early days. Our female racers were so much hotter than the servers there, it was kinda depressing!






















Jay-Hood is actually a great Expert XC racer as well as baby-Pro DH guy. This was from Big Bear, CA a couple of years ago when he WON the XC there! Frikkin' DH dirt bags. Jay will be driving the 661 truck out to Carnkworx from he and Jim's homebase in Highlands Ranch, CO.















Tookie, Sean Cavalluchy and I will be keeping it down here in OHIO for the Lake Hope XC race on Sunday. This will be Sean's second race for us, and it will be fun to have the three of us playing grab-ass on the race course. I'll try not to fall on the guys and crush them with my man-boobs on lap #2....that could be ugly.







Jeff has been on the road a TON doing endurance XC races as a Pro-Solo type guy, so a 15 mile race should be like a warm up for him! Thanks to everyone in advance for a very ambitious schedule this year, you have done a great job getting the sponsors' names out there! I'll get the post-race-wrap-ups and photos in as soon as possible.
Best of luck and be safe!
