The NW Cup stopped in Mt Hood Oregon for it's third stop in the series. Trail crews were forced to remove snow early in the week in order to get the entire course clear and ready for the race. Once cleared the course was running fast, almost too fast for some; a couple bikes, several rims, and a bunch of flat tires were claimed over the weekend as the course was pretty gnarly. This didn't stop a few guys like Mikey Sylvestri who set a new course record during his race run and winning the in the pro category from having a great race.
While the rest of the field was practicing on Saturday and racing on Sunday I was running up and down the mountain getting as much video as I could. For the first time in a while I got almost too much good video and had to edit it down into one video.
