“I came in with a crash on Friday and hurt my hand, so I was a little nervous. I rode around Saturday and felt fine. Starting Sunday, I entered test one and pushed to keep mistakes to a minimum, ultimately finishing the test with an overall win. I was super ecstatic about that. Test two was a little harder to find a flow, and I made a bunch of mistakes, but I still came out with the test win. Test three, I was really impressing myself and hitting my marks, but I smoked a blind tree out of a corner and went flying, and I got up, and my front wheel was insanely offset in the forks. I tried straightening it mid-test, but couldn’t get it to budge, and just rode that test out to find the test got dropped. In between the next test, there was no rider support, so luckily, some nice people lent me tools to help fix my wheel as best as possible. It was still tweaked a little, but not too bad. I finished that test out to yet another test win. Test five, we got everything fixed up, and I went out and put the hammer down. I came into a creek that was deeper than expected, and it caused the bike to flood. I took the air filter out and squeezed it to get the bike to start running again. I again won that test, which was pretty surprising. Test six, I just rode how I know how to ride. I caught my flow and won that test. All in all, everything was great; tires, mechanics, bike, setup, and everything we put into it.”
