4X is hard--really hard--to shoot. I feel as if I only just figured it out two seasons ago. And even then, it's still a crapshoot for me as to whether or not I feel that I've genuinely got a shot that tells the story. Except in this race. I think I told the story here and then some. The thing I like the best is the fact that Roger Rinderknecht is completely oblivious to the carnage behind him. But then that's racing. I will miss 4X during the 2012 season.

 I think the track is way more unique than colors and timing. Where is this in Seattle? A dug in 4x track, that's sick. Oh and the colors and timing are great too haha.

 what makes me laugh about this is that a line of rocks makes it a single line track, this is supposed to be mountain biking ffs. 4x needed to burly up and run big tracks that required big bikes from every rider
