moto is a very good precursor to sending it. I've met some XC dudes who aren't scared to send it and it sounds like he's perfect for this kind of event. The good lines are well known to the ones who are tech savy and he obviously has the endurance on top of that. That is awesome to hear he did that well with that background. It's like theory becoming reality in terms of MTB disciplines.
Was lucky enough to ride with him on the road a few mornings when he was back home in the off season. Such a nice guy and always polite no matter how many questions i asked or whatever. Back when he was racing xc with rockstar, I remember a few riders telling me at a state series that he was really patient with the slower riders and always said please and thanks as he sped past them.
i think the most entertaining part of these types of events is that we get to see alot of cross over discipline riders like Josh Carlson and Adam Craig, and they do pretty well.
Any one knows if Lorraine Truong did the run with a full DH bike or with an enduro bike? Just curious. Replay would be great as well, or compilation video...

Only 10 seconds off his big bro.
Time would have won open men and pro women!
Jesus!
The elevation profile for that first km? :-0
