MSA

Been busy since the adventures in Morzine. We took off last minute back to Champery to catch up with my buddy Niki Gudex and to do some photo shoots. The riding over there was good. The trails in the bike park were loads better than the World Cup track. It's too bad we didn't get to race on one of those.

After that we headed to Zurich to grab our flights over to Mont Ste Anne where we are now. It has been great here so far. The weather was perfect on Tuesday when we did a little tourist day around old Quebec City. The World Cup DH track is it's usual self for the most part - fast, extremely rough and exhausting. They did however change one of the woods sections. It runs in the same direction, they just made it wider and filled it with berms. I'm having fun up there pinning it! Had to stop after 4 practice runs today. I felt like my arms were going to fall off my bars at any given second!

4X qualifying is tonight. I did a bit of practice yesterday and the track is good. All the jumps are pretty kicky though so you have to be careful. I'll let you know how it goes.
