NAFast forward just about 12 hours and it's now time for day two, time for some racing. New this year, the organizers would take us to Pleasant Ridge County Park to compete on the fruits of our efforts. JFA trail, named in memory of Carolina local shredder Jorge F. Arango was constructed in 2014 with the funds generated from the 2012 and 2013 events. Most riders where stoked to see profits get dumped directly back into the local scene.

Walker ShawWalker Shaw always has a keen eye for the camera. Buried in the woods, lying on the ground, you name it, he's got a eye like a hawk and takes full advantage of seeing my lens pointed his direction.

Matt GriffinCongrats to Matt Griffin! We haven't seen much of this local lately…. why? He and his wife welcomed there second future ripper to the world. I think this was Matt's first competition since losing lots of sleep and changing those poopy baby diapers. He finished 15th out of quite large and stacked 29 rider Expert class.

Ethan ThompsonEthan Thompson took the second spot in Junior Sport with a 5:58.860 just a nat's ass off the pace of Seb Streit with a 5:58.058. It's doesn't get much closer than that. You'd need a microscope to see the difference.

Doug RiipinenThe fastest "Old Man" of the day? That would be Doug Riipinen….. He took the gold in Masters with a 5:38.380. (NOTE: he won't be offended, I myself am in the 40+ club. Nothing wrong with one old man calling another an old man). Nice colors too Doug!

Caroline WestrayIt's the off season and just before the holiday… that typically we see Caroline Westray home for a few weeks from her day job with Liv Giant. I told her "Man, either I've forgotten how fast you are or all the riding out West has done you some good". She was flying, good enough to finish out the podium with the bronze.
