JUNIOR PUMP TRACK WORLDS
On Tuesday the Kona Super Groms came from Carbondale for a long day of clinics, BBQ and an epic Kona/The Fix junior pump sesh.
The Kona dudes and I worked on cornering and pump in my neighborhood, then we rode The Fix for a couple hours. The dudes were going off! We met The Fix monkeys at my house and pumped until dinner was ready, then we pumped some more. Of course we did timed runs: Three laps each direction.
Fastest: Wolverine, aka Evan
Most consistent: Dustin, Dylan
Most improved: Neil, Mike
Coolest: Everybody!

 Yes, that’s a sumo wrestler squeaky toy on his bar. |
 Dylan, The Fix |

 Evan “Wolverine” Powell with the excellent form and perfect head turn. That guy must have a great coach! |
 Of course we did timed runs. Ron mans the timer. |
 What a long day. By this time I was worked. |
 I did, however, man up and take a couple runs. I was less than a second faster than Wolverine. That won’t last much longer! |

As Mark Weir says,
“Pump tracks are the new horseshoes.”
