Jack Ritchie
Home Turf - Jack Ritchie calls the Weaverville BMX venue his home turf. Would it give him the edge to come out on top? Kinda, he was still on the podium, but had to settle for the bronze in Pro Men.

We saw Dalton Wyatt switching bikes/wheel sizes between 20 and 26 inches. Looks like for his race run he decided to roll bigger. He finished 6th in Pro Men

Andrew Wing
Symmetry - Some symmetry with Andrew Wing during race runs. The race organizers rolled the Amateur and Pro Men into one moto to save some time. He finished 2nd in Amateur Men, but ran at the same time as the Pro Men.

The Intern - Not sure how or why the event promoters have assigned Blake Stephenson "The Intern" nickname, but it's sticking. After two events we've lost count how many times we've heard it. Blake on his way to a podium finish with the silver on the day.

On a Roll - Josie Ritchie pulled the two-fer on home turf at Round 2/Weaverville taking the Pro Women's top spot. Let's see if she can continue that momentum and make it a 3-Peat at Kolo in a few weeks.

King for the Day - The Round Two title would belong to Brandon Hopkins earning the top spot in Pro Men. It seemed, the little wheels would be the rule the day in both Pro Men and Women (not fair, kidding of course). Nicely done young man!

Andrew Wing
Never Leave Your Wing-Man - Andrew Wing, I believe, was the only one of the Cane Creek crew to make it out for round one. No doubt as we wrap up the series at Cane Creek for Round 6 we'll see the entire legion of Cane Creek rippers on their home turf. Little known factoid about Andrew, you likely didn't know..... he's got a serious personal interest in classic architecture and design, and fully supports the preservation of such.

Cecil Linder
The G-Vegas Crew - You can't have a race without some of the old school Greenville South Carolina crew. Sure GVL is 1.5 hours south of Asheville, but that doesn't keep the usual crowd (myself included) from a great event and a fun series. Cecil Linder is one of those crew, Pictured just after the kick off of the hour and ten minute morning practice session.

Matthew Owen
Matthew Owen didn't have the best result in a stacked field of Junior Men, but he was pinned throughout the day rounding out the field in 8th place, but heck, he gets something better at the end of the day, a nice featured shot in the recap!

Aiden Loorham
An "E" Instead of an "A" - I am going to have ask Mom and team manager (BeEch Mountain Gravity), Mandy Loorham which of the boys are who, in other words which of the boys have the best resemblance to the original BeAch (with an "a") Boys, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, and Al Jardine. My vote Aiden (pictured above) gets the Carl Wilson vote. I just want to know where all the California Girls are? Aiden finished 6th in that same staked field of Junior Men.

Caroline Westray, a regular at events in the WNC area, tried to muster up everything she could and it just wasn't quite enough to stand top the podium at the end of the final heat. She had to settle for the second spot behind Josie Ritchie in Pro Women.

The Kids
The Kids Before the Storm - Rain clouds loom as the youngsters get ready for qualifying. The qually times would end up waiting one hour for a rain and drying track delay. Nothing nasty, just steady shower for about 45 minutes.

Who Khares Anyway - The elder Khare, Henry didn't have enough in the gasser to post a quicker time than his bro Bergen, but he gets the pic this time around. One of the best from the weekend to boot, at least in my opinion.

Jack Ritchie
Jack Ritchie was one of the younger Pros, but was mixing it up with the best of them of which were probably 2X or maybe even 3X his age. Give the kid a couple of years to hone his skills and he'll no doubt improve upon his 7th place finish out of a field of 15. The Kid Is Quick!!

Mr. Giggles Jeremy Raney
Mr Giggles - Jeremy Raney had only a short time to practice before his race runs. He spent most of his time that day being a proud papa and shadowing his young daughter Rowan has she got some track time. At the end of the day, it was Dad (pictured) in 6th in Pro Men and young Rowan in 5th in Junior Rippers.

Matt Griffin
Oozing Style - We've said it before and have no problem saying again, Matt Griffin (another of the old school GVL crew), has some of the best style out there. Whether it be Downhill, Enduro, or Pump Track, he's always one to watch and fun to capture on the other side of the lens. He finished 9 of 15 in Pro Men.

Becky Baston
Becky Bashton - If there was an award for facial expressions, there was NO competition. Becky Bashton would take it hands down. Every lap it was something different and fun to watch. Riders should take note and follow suite. They say if you aren't having fun, why bother. No doubt she was having a blast.
