Backbone Adventure Cycling Update (Part 1)
 

Hi guys! It's been a while since I have sent in some news and pix, but THAT'S HOW BUSY WE HAVE BEEN! The U.S. Cup race at Fontucky was great for us, with results like...

Michael Darter 1st Place DH!
Brant Hatton 1st Place Super-D
Vanessa Humic 3rd Place Super-D; 7th Place XC
Jason Schippers 5th Place DH
Randy Rush 7th Place Super-D; 13th Place XC
Trevor Calton 12th Place DH (just moved to Expert)

Congratulations also go out to Charles Libolt, who took 15th out of 60 riders in the Pro Class (it's Charles' first full season as a Pro!) during the Southridge Winter series aboard his Tomac Primer DH bike! His class was loaded with TOP National and Junior World's riders, and he still broke the top twenty! Charles just built a small Tomac Snyper for Sea Otter's Pro 4X race next week..

Also, the U.S. Cup Sagebrush Safari saw the re-birth of Ara "The Fuzz" Movsessian, where he came out of a two year hiatus to land in 4th Place in XC! Randy Rush was close behind with 6th Place, and Vanessa took 6th as well. Mark Thome had a great day finishing in 5th, and Vegas Bob ended up his hot and dusty day in 15th.

Three weeks ago I was asked to fly to Colorado Springs, CO for Amino Vital to shoot a film/still photos with Olympic Triathlete Hunter Kemper! All the material from the three days of interviews, riding, etc. will be used for upcoming ads and a short film.

Thanks to KENDA TIRE for the amazing product that keeps my team in the limelight and on the podium! You just can't beat the selection, rider support and quality of KENDA TIRES.
