we are here at the world champs after what feels like a long season on the road.

think the season has felt longer because of the big gaps we had in between all the world rounds. only six rounds is quite pathetic in my eyes. next year is already looking good with 8 rounds in the season.

the track here is wildly rough and fast. seems like they have taken a lot of the tech stuff out and replaced it with straight lines and rough mellow corners. seems like it hasn't rained in a while so its real dusty and loose. at first look the track does not look that good, but after riding it i have found how much concentration and skill it takes to fly down through rough rock sections at wild speeds. it seems like im just holding on and leaning back on my bike while flying by little baby head sized rocks.

the weather out here has been real hot and humid with temperatures up to the mid 80's. im a sweaty man at the best of times let along when its this hot. iv have to make some goggle mod's to stop the sweat dripping in to my eyes. not sure how long its going to last though, as there is talk of a hurricane rolling in over the next few days. sounds bad but im not sure it will be a bad thing for the track at all.
