US Open

I made a last minute decision to fly out to the US Open at the Diablo Freeride Park in Vernon, NJ and so far I have been LOVING it! The track is sick! Loads of rocks and flat turns and an awesome berm section. I can't get enough of this track. And to make it better my long time friend Missy Giove turned up out of the blue to race/ride. It's been just like old times hanging out and riding with the Missile.
We were camping down at a local camp ground. It was pretty cool too. The owners were such nice guys and we sat around chatting and sharing stories most nights. If you are ever looking for a place to crash out here, check out Toye's Recreation. It is a bit out of the way, but so worth it! Closer than any other campsite too, which is cool.

Qualifying was okay today. Sabrina is still on top of her game and it is good to be racing her while she is going this fast. Hopefully tomorrow I can close the gap.

Results:

1. Sabrina Jonnier - 3:02
2. Fionn Griffiths - 3:10
3. Kathy Pruit - 3:15
