Around Carleton isn’t that unusual for a busy day but yesterday topped that

holy cow! that's nuts!

shot from track just now. light/dark shadows may be tough to deal with today and while it's drying, there are plenty of gross, slick sections to contend with.

I saw him rolling down the ski hill near the finish during Q2. He looked fine, and bike was still rolling. Not sure what happened.

Poor Juniors. Seems like they are generally riding through that time of day where the dirt is primo in one corner, and absolutely hidden grease in the next one. Back and forth, over and over.

Wonder how many corners stay like that for elite? At least in the trees 

(ric apologized for language, everyone take a shot)

He crashed right in front of me above the rock garden. Bummed but not injured

Absolutely... Horrible to have that happen. When it was a mistake that would have been slowing him that caused it. Like I guess the pole is there so riders dont straight line? And he G'd out in a hole, got kicked, and punted on the wrong side of the pole? 

Rules are rules but that sucks. It's one thing if it's a blatant course cut. Such an amazing run, even with mistakes, and just barely missing one during a mistake erases it all. Gutted.
