26Trix

Hi everyone,

Just got back from 26Trix. It was awesome, loved the course so much. It was changed a bit from last year big roll in for the first jump instead of the berm which to be honest was a little sketchy. the course flowed a lot better you had much more speed for the first big jump.
Rain was an issue which it is every year but it cleared enough to do the pre qualifying on Friday, they were supposed to be on thursday and it was sunny all day until we started the first of the runs when it just hammered down. So Friday and it rained a bit through the night but cleared up enough and we had just 3 training runs at 9:30 am then just 1 run to pre qualify.
I felt good, started my run and just had fun got to the end with a clean run which I was stoked on, a few people had crashed so I knew I had a good chance. turns out I got second which was sweet.
That afternoon was qualifying and it was amazing to be riding with everyone. Sun was shining and the course was drying out nicely.
Qualifying started and I was 9th to drop in my run went really well and on the last jump i thought i was going to over rotate my 3 so i dabbed a foot that left me with 1 run left. all the riders were killing it and was amazing to watch. On my second run and I decided to just send it, It started well with a flip 1 foot xup to Downside tailwip then a bit of a sketchy superman on the first big jump just clipped the top and my foot blew off which was not to bad but as I landed on the saddle the seat post dropped and jammed my back wheel which ended my run. not happy about that but at least I had fun.
On Saturday and the day the finals were supposed to be on. it had rained all night and in the morning but stopped enough for the riders to have a few practice runs. the course was so wet that people were crashing and before anyone could hurt themselves they called ariders meeting and decided to not ride finals and take the qualifying results as finals. Instead they had a best trick on the last jump. Was super fun watching and some crazy stunts were getting pulled. I think Brandon Semenuk took the win with a flat spin 720 or 360 flip depending on how you look at it sick either way. Brandon also took the overall win with Andeau Lacon in second and Sam Pilgrim in third.

Had an awesome time out there, good laugh and even better parties, cant wait for next year.

Thanks Vanessa for coming all the way there to support me.

Enjoy the videos.

Cheers for now
