 My first race was great up by around 5 seconds then at the very bottom of the steep trchnical section a rock kicked me sideways and ended up getting the shimano tape wrapped around my neck and seat post lol wasnt a good day at all lost everything and like you said no problems during practice then whamm stupid rock
  • + 2
 Yeah same think happened to me the tape got wrapped around my go pro when i first crashed

 omg this is a train wreck of a video, good to see that you didn't take any of my pre-race advise, jk, jk. key point here is relax and take it like a timed practice - don't fluster yourself
  • + 3
 Oh man...my first race will be this upcoming 26-27. I hope mine is nothing like yours lol...I mean that in the nicest way possible

 You had some pretty good flow through some tricky sections, Jake. I saw quite a bit of the field totally blow that sandy, blown up left-hander in the upper section. Then, they tip-toed through the rocky section that followed or messed up that sandy right hander into the rocks entering the very end of the course. You did none of that. Good job. A little more fine tuning in bike setup before next race will help you avoid frustration and you'll be good to go.

 Because it pretty much is. lol Fontana, CA DH racing is a very "loose" and flat experience, but it's DH racing none the less. Currently the only DH racing available to us in SoCal for most of the year, then later in the year we get to go to Mammoth Mountain, Northstar, and Sea Ottter Classic for some NorCal racing.
