Some of the tightest racing we've seen all season went down on Tuesday night as the series welcomed Pinkbike.com as a new sponsor!February 8th - Tuesday night's racing seemed faster and tighter than previous nights. It may have been due to the track getting harder and faster, or maybe because there's only one race left after tonight and there's still lots of points on the line, or maybe because Pinkbike.com signed on as a new sponsor and the riders were fighting for prizes. Or maybe it was because all the smiles, high fives and track practice has resulted in some of the best racing and riding we've seen all year. The race can be organized and run smoothly, but it's the riders who are out there elbow-to-elbow and putting on the show. Big shout-outs go out to all the committed riders in the series!

Now let's get to the racing. In U13 Meaghan Carmichael took on Travis Regnier, Aidan MacDonald and Keifer Bernier over 3 motos. Regnier took home another win with MacDonald & Bernier trailing just behind.
The Camera won't keep U13 Travis Regnier from keeping his eyes on the track ahead as he dials in the big double. How old is this kid?!
In U15, Jesse McLeod took home another win ahead of Cole Bernier and Tanner Gehman. This gives McLeod a healthy lead while leaving behind him a fight for the
#2 spot with Cole Bernier, Darien Landers, and Carson Price. Take a look at the points lead, then have a look at the pics of the U15. The racing has been way tighter than the leaderboard lets on.
McLeod leads Big Brother Bernier into the 3rd turn. These guys have raced tight all season.
In Junior, The 4 way series battle between Cole Swanson, Kyle Murphy, Carson Jordan, and Liam Wallace got even tighter with Jordan missing the main and Hunter Welykholowa taking 4th on the night. This leaves a 3 point gap between 2nd and 4th going into next week's finals. All riders have vastly different styles, but Kyle Murphy pulled it all together to keep the lead on the series.
Junior #1 Kyle Murphy and #2 Cole Swanson agreed that it's hard work to look this good.
In Open Vet Men, It was Martin Newman who took the win, but Andrew Ewart placed 2nd and kept his lead on the series. But the story of the night was Bryan Giois, the rookie,who made the main and took 3rd place on the night. David Jennings also made his 1st Main and took 4th on the night and added 2 more points to his leaderboard total.
Vet Opens Travis Petersen and Andrew Ewart are just glad the night is over. Is the Advil store still open?
In the 1st Mash Up of the evening, World Cup DH Pro Micayla Gatto took on
#1 Paula Armstrong and the rest of the Open Women's class. Paula took home 2nd on the night and 1st overall in Open Women ahead of Karaleen Westmoreland and Kelly Jones.
Think Paula Armstrong knows how far she is ahead of the pack here? Well, she knows now.
In Open Men, Tyler Shymr took home the win on the night and the largest lead gap in the series. Glenn Francks took 2nd with only a 4 point gap separating him and Sean Best holding the
#4 spot.
#3 Bob Jones may also have something to say about it with only one race left in the Series.
Tyler Shmyr building his gap on Glenn Francks on the dirt and on the leaderboard.
The 2nd Mash-Up of the night was when the wiley Vet Pros and the blistering fast 4x Lites took on the Pro Men in a battle with some familiar faces from them moving pictures. Ex 4x'ers now known for their mind blowing riding on film showed up as Kona/Monster's Graham Agassiz and Rocky Mountain/Dakine's Geoff Gulevich banged elbows with ex 4x Champ Tyler Gorz and current
#1 Cam Murphy.
Gorz, Aggy & Gully ripping down the 1st straight to see who's moustache blows the best in the wind. Aggy trumps all with a sick manual bar tweek. Gettin Loose!
The Pro Mash-Up Semi Final
#2 saw Brian Onofrichuk, who barely made it out of qualifying take on RD Watters, Lites
#2 Jordan Timmer and Pro
#2 Harold Woolnough. Woolnough would go on to take the win closely shadowed by the O'Show. Watters and Timmer would be left battling for points in the consolation round. In Semi #1, A super tight race went down as Lites
#1 Bart Brown and Pro
#1 Cam Murphy took 1st and 2nd ahead past 4x Champs Adam Muys and Tyler Gorz.
RD Watters leading the pack into the 3rd turn a second before Bad News Muys tee'd him up for a brilliant pass. Watters looks strong all night up against the Pros and Vet Pros.
In the Main, Woolnough scored the lane choice, but couldn't hold back the speed of Cam Murphy into the 1st turn. Murphy and Woolnough battled through 4 straight, but Murphy didn't let up. Woolnough takes 2nd with Bart Brown and Brian O 3rd & 4th. Brown effectively wins lites for the evening, and Brian O takes home the Vet Pro win.

Pro #1 Cam Murphy's all smiles after taking on the impossible task of holding off #2 Harold Woolnough
Karaleen Westmoreland and Kelsey Begg battle into the 2nd turn. Kelsey looks stoked on being pumped.
Clayton's shutter obviously JUST missed Keifer Bernier dialing in the big set. I'm not even lying right now. Go Keifer!!
Murphy & Swanson coming off the big set. That's the way it's done. Autograph's will have to wait ladies...
Cool Story! Finals Next week! See you then, and remember who makes this all possible!
