Beacon Hill- some weren't so lucky

Unfortunately for Tyler Gilsdorf, his weekend ended on a pretty sour note with a broken wrist. But look on the bright side, at least his unhappy moment was well-captured by a bevy of photographers and filmers:
















Here's some more pictures of my nose case to near-death:































And just remember folks, all of these pictures on this post are screen captures from this fine video from last weekend:





Also, enjoy lots of good riding, and my crash all over again at 1:09 in this video from Mark Brent over at bonesovermetal.com

Dialed whip

This picture is real - not doctored in any way - and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went to buy a camera to take pictures.

















The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.

The driver finally came back after the police were called, and was found crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load!



Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.

While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains (are you ready for this?)

10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.

Pretty much nailed it:

My weekend in a nutshell

I went up to Spokane this weekend with our local Giant rep, Paul Lacava for the beacon Hill Double Down Hoe Down race. Ben Tobin aka Caveman hosted us at his pumptrackaliscious house, and snapped a few pictures as can be seen below. I'd never been to Beacon Hill before. It was also my first race in my new, custom Splat Designs TLD helmet. Moreover, my new Evil was amazing on course. Really good bike. It was a pretty sweet weekend, but I'll let the pictures do the talking:



The Good (check out the sweet helmet):




































The Bad (yeah, that's actually a 15 foot drop. I was stoked to ride out out of that one):





































































And the Ugly
(yeah, I fell forever down that hill. I was stoked to walk out of that one):









































The last photo in that sequence was also the last photo ever taken of my totally sweet helemt in one piece. The visor, unfortunately, has bitten the dust. But we at Team Robot will be doing a visor fix-em-up how-to special very soon, so expect to see that visor alive and kicking at a race near you.
