Winner Winner Chicken Dinner - Mammoth MTB Nats 2015 40+ Cat 3

I barely made my run, I ran off the lift to the start gate. Ended up beating everybody but 1 guy who was 20+ / Cat 3, not bad for my 2nd race. Shaved 40+ seconds off my #KamikazeGames time. Guess I'm Cat 2 now, lol. #mammoth, #downhill, #dh, #followme #MTBNats

 @valhallascott I met all my goals, I ended up 4th in DH!?! and completed enduro. My goal was just to finish the weekend; I also raced DS! I'm planning to go back this year and may focus a bit more on DH (try to get the podium), or if my fitness can improve, just try for improving my overall enduro times. It was a good time just managing my practice time and start times and staying fed and rested. I didn't really "race" the enduro as much as just wanting to finish safely. I stopped on one segment to give a dude a tube and let anyone pass whenever they needed. I found out Nationals is in Mammoth again, so maybe I'll get to race up there twice this year? I'll be in the 46+ group, maybe Cat2 (DH)? I think I'll try three events at Big Bear to qualify. . .

 @bcamapgnolo awesome! Sounds like me with enduro. I was very proud that I rode the whole thing, lol... That ride up to main from canyon was gnarly!. Some of the run on my 6" bike was a little hairy (especially after coming off the DH) but it was really fun. DS looks amazing, I might try to enter that this year as well.
Maybe I'll see you up there this summer. The nationals are fun, too... less people for DH but more $$$ to enter than kamikaze.

 @bcamapgnolo How'd it go in September? I was out of state & couldn't make it. So fun though. Glad you liked the commentary, lol.

 Great video! Love the commentary. I just signed up for cat3 40+ for this September. Can't wait!

 This sounds like me when I race, except for the fact that I’m the one getting passed not passing people.

 And we both have the same fork.
