So I'm racing St.Charles 10-2-08. I'm going through a pack of 55 racers in the field. I get to a off camber switchback of 4 turns. 2 guys stall,and stop in the camber!(instead of up/down,up/down).This course is not technical at all you master this stuff when you are a kid at like age 8-11 on BMX. Parker said something that made me think,"it may not be technical for you,BUT the other people." So I stall behind the last guy. Someone hits me from behind, and I go end over end on my back down the cliff with the bike on top of me clipped in! Knocking the wind out of me. So then the rest of xXx/Athletico team rolls behind me and starts screaming "are you ok?"(might have been Ryan Hale) the guy behind him says "YEAH HE"S OK GO"!!!. (how does that guy know if I'm alright). So that's how some of the race went on Sunday. When I go to the crazy switchback 7 turns the whole XXX/Athletico racing mob is yelling "COME ON GUY!!!!!" You only do about 3 mph in that section. Then a last turn to a monster mob of messengers(Cutting Crew), Half Acre, and Rock Lobster teams of about 40 or more people just screaming, yelling, cowbells ringing. Just total mayhem I have not seen a crowd like that ever! I think this is when cross in Chicago/Illinois is going to start getting really big from this point on similar to Wis.,E.coast,and NW.Coast. I crashed twice, chain off once ,and still have finished between 38-41(results are pending)
