1. Illinbah MTB national was a wash out. DH was a lottery....The woods section was near impossible to ride, resulting in very blown out results, I flipped over the bars.....oops. 4X, torrential rain, I led all the way in the final, eased up at the end, Tom Hubert pulled a sweet move to get me on the line...oops

2. Yeti 2009 Factory team announced, Myself, Sam Blenkinshits, and Aaron Gwin, we will shred in 09! Bummed that Juzzy Leov has gone to Trek, he's the perfect team mate, and all round good guy to have around. The move to Trek is sweet a sweet deal for him though.

So I found out there is a few very cool things happening with some new Yeti team stuff for 2009, which should be available for all a bit later on.....can't say too much just yet, but im pretty excited about it to say the least!

There are just a couple changes to my sponsor line-up for 2009, about 3 weeks ago I re-signed a new contract with Yeti fort another 2 years, and along with this come the team sponsors....Fox Racing Shox being the main sponsor, with Shimano, Maxxis, Thomson, Dt Swiss, E-13, SDG seats, Sunline bars, Topeak Tools, and Chris King headests.

Last weekend was the first round of the national Dh series here in Australia in Adelaide, and I thought it might be good to go down and see how im going.

The track was pretty short, but it had a fair few good fun sections and it was starting to get very dusty and a bit blown out by finals, so it made it a bit tricky in spots. Before coming I had heard the track was pedally and slow, but a heap of changes were made from last year, just making it flow better with less tight stuff, and more good stuff and as practice went on I found I was really enjoying it, all in all, it was pretty fun.

I suppose there was some website issues for a little while, of course it had to happen while I was away and had no idea about it for a while but it's all good now.
