So the guys from Go Huck Yourself went out and had a blast at the first NWcup race. The guys went in without a voice and came out owning a new megafone! The crowd looked amazing and the boys at Transition pulled together a sweet video. Our race team had a good first race.

Sunday the crew met up at Softies for a little DJ action. I was there earlier in the week and was super stoked that Patrick has been throwing some dirt keeping the dream alive. Softies Jam in the future? Looks like all signs point to yes!

Here is Travis following me down the Dirt White Boys Line at Duthie. The park is a great testament to the kind of people we have in Washington State.

Headed out to Duthie Hill MTB Park in Issaquah earlier than usual…around 10 a.m. Hey thats early for us…but anyway. Travis and I (A.J.) showed up to see the pump track gettin worked on. We threw a few shovel fulls and then decided it was time to ride. Had a pretty good session with tons of good people out there! Damon showed up later to join the mix. We had Bee, Cow, Kat, and then a few more animals too. Lucas flying high along with new comers Craig and Shawn (Girl). Heres some pretty pictures.

So Halloween came with sunshine, dry weather and a slightly wet trail. People started showing up in costume’s and it looked as if we were in for a fun party at the trails. The sun was shining and people starting to take some warm up runs. Evel Knievel, AKA Jason, got to the trail early that morning and blew the leave’s off the trail and set up the timing system.

So it was time to start sending people down the hill after a little rider’s meeting. One of our first rider’s Lucas, who the night before called out the win, took his first run and things were started. Figuring that the early runs were going to get the mud off the track I took over timing at the bottom and let Jason get some runs in. Before the mud could be pushed off the trail it took its toll by sending people in the bushes and off the trail in several spot’s. With the jam format the trail started to get tacky and much faster.

Team riders Andrew Knott, Jerry Southworth, Travis Erickson and Trevor Louviere left for Moscow, ID. Eastbound and down, Friday afternoon, last race of the All Gravity Series. They left the west side of the mountains around to 2 in the afternoon and ended up in Moscow around 6:30 that evening. After getting into town and dropping off the trailer at the fairgrounds the guys headed out to find some food. While at dinner Jerry, a Cat 1 40+ rider, was carded for alcohol and his wallet had been stolen earlier that week so they wouldn’t serve him. It made for a good laugh before the guys headed to the bars for a night out on the town. The guys were told to go to CJ’s for a good time by one of the locals…so they headed that direction. After getting to the bar and having a few drinks they met up with Chris and Nick from Spokane. And those two know how to have a good time, especially in the basement of bars (inside joke).

The GHY race team will be heading to Moscow, ID this weekend for their final DH race of the season. The track looks awesome. And here is a video of the course…

Look for a race report early next week to see how the guys did.

Here’s Crappis, Damien, Dylan and Billy hittin up Zeb’s line out at Duthie Hill.

So woke up at 5am on Saturday to go pick up Travis Erickson and head to Dry Hill in Port Angele’s, Washington.

Well the day started off with everyone scrambling to get the 6 cases of beer, 100 hot dogs, stop watches, tape, and get everything back to the flow park.  But once we did get everything there it was one of the best times I have had at a bike event in a long time.  The race started after everyone was satisfied that they practiced enough.  The racing was pretty fun since the downhill part has been cut in down to the creek.  The last drop was the place to watch for sure.  It gave almost everyone a little kick sideways.  After two runs the times were stacked like this HERE.

Since everything was so much fun up until then why not fire up the BBQ throw on some dogs and play some Huffy Toss.  Norm and Jake were the test pilots.  Norm had a good launch but nobody expected the NASA commander Jake Hopple was in the house.  He hauled ass into the jump and sent that bike into orbit.  Just check out Coltons face in the background.  Not only is he looking at the bike but the expression is priceless.

Once again we thank all that came out and all that helped.  Thank Travis and Angie next time you see them…thats for sure.  Click Here for more pics.
