The Dirty Bird is ready for you

Tomorrow kicks off the first ever Dirty Bird Downhill race at Hawksnest (and defnitely not the last!) and we are finally ready to go. The track is weed eated, raked, and taped. Some work has been done to make sure the that it is running good all weekend long and I can't wait to ride it after the race, hopefully it will get really rough. We are prepared to handle up to 180 racers, and from what we have been hearing, we might get close to maxing it out! We can only hope... see ya tomorrow!

Lance is the man

Lance Armstrong won the Colorado Pro XC championship last weekend at Snowmass, and is about to tackle the Leadville 100 tomorrow, trying to set a new course record on the way. He's still the MAN!

been a while

Been some time since I've updated this, lots of stuff going on these days...

First of all and most importantly, the Dirty Bird DH race is going off in less than two weeks!!! Get hype and stock up on plenty of PBR at the gas station at the bottom of the mountain...12 packs for $5.87 out the door. Wyatt just hooked us up with 16 fresh Specialized Clutch DH tires to hand out. Thats about $1000 worth of tires!

I got to race in a skinsuit this weekend at the Beech race, and I honestly have to say I loved it. When you wear a skinsuit, you know you have to go fast or you risk looking like a douche bag. The skinsuit makes you pin it!

More Dirty Bird news to come as we get it. Oh, got two 26' uhaul trucks lined up for the shuttle. Should be a pretty solid setup, having them staggered out so one goes to the top while the other is loading up with people. We hope that will help reduce congestion on the race track since there isn't much room for passing or anything...
