Amazing way to finishing the season, with some awesome compotition and the closest finish in history (maybe!!) Casey being one of my idols, the Canadian National Champ and World Cup podium finisher, I was more than stoked with this result…
New episode of ‘SheGNARnigans’ will be up soon… with plenty of fun sessions up the gondi with the QT crew!
MTBNZ Downhill Series – Mt Hutt Rd 3 from Tom Cuthbert on Vimeo.
Awsome track – jump, jump, drop, bigger drop, mafoosive step up, drop, jump… woods maaafooosive drop!! super fast and fun.
started the weekend off pretty nervy, not really hit too many big jumps since before my year off with injuries, so felt a bit of a pansy at not hitting the bottom drop but hats off to sarah being the only girl to drop the shit out of it! but felt pretty good hitting the rest, missed that feeling of being in the air then spat out the bottom as you hit the run out, saweet :0)
Felt confident ready for race runs and crazily decided to test out some rocatain gu as id been struggling with the fitness on the previous rounds, that stuff really works!! i was sat on the start gate like a bull behind a gate!! then 5…4…3… stop!!? after a big crash on track and 5 riders sent back up for re-runs i think i was on the come down by the time i left the gate!! all good tho im pretty sure i might have hit the first tree the way i was feeling before!! maybe il save that stuff for xc rides!
Came in 4th place elite women and not even a second off 3rd doh! pretty happy with that tho. Offskies now to get my fitness up and ride as much as poss ready for the Ocean’s in March…
