I would like to thank our friends at Rushmore Mountain Sports for making this build possible. I also want to give Trek some huge props for making a very sexy bike.

Here are a few words from Kevin about the race weekend. This past weekend I attended the “New Mob” race in Boulder City, Nevada, racing pro downhill. I arrived to another weekend of great weather, a phenominal track, and great racing, with a best of two run format. My practice runs were a little frustrating as I flatted multiple times on the sharp rocks of Bootleg, Canyon. So I ramped my tire pressure up to 50 psi and went with the set it and forget it method and didn’t have to stress on flats. After getting a few more clean practice runs in, I was ready to put together a solid racerun. I have had a frustrating streak of unfinished race runs recently due to mechanicals, punctures, and crashes, so I was concentrating on putting a run together and finishing a finals run. My first run was going well until I hit a jump, and got blown off track in the air. Sitting in 4th after the first run, I knew what I had to do to improve on my first runs time. Run 2 went well as I hit all my lines and took 8 seconds off my first run. I finished in third place overall. The pro podium consisted of Mitch Ropelato in first (specialized), Logan Binggeli in second (KHS), Me in third, David K in fourth (intense/ ODI), and Chris Heath in fifth (KHS).Overall it was an awesome weekend of racing with a stacked feild of riders and one of the best tracks I have ever ridden. I would like to thank all my sponsors for their continued support including GT Bikes, Twenty6 Products, Troy Lee Designs, Oakley, FiveTen Shoes, EFX, ODI grips, Freestyle watches, Obtanium Springs, Cadence Works
