Maribor and Home and Driving!!!

Hello!! sorry I have not updated anything in so long. I tried to update after the race in Slovenia, but all the internet was in a diferent language so I couldn't.

Maribor went well given my circumstances. I get very very sick, and was having a hard time staying awake and coping with walking down the street much less racing a downhill world cup!! there were 320 pro men in the semi final, and i qualified 47th, which I was stoked with, because I was just happy to qualify in the top 80 period. 75 percent of the field that started qualifying went home, and only the top 80 guys raced in the finals in the afternoon. My final run was not so good, i had a few mess ups, and ended up 56th. not what I was look ing for at the opening race, but hey, i'll take it and hopefully get some at the next race.

I went home for a few days which was really nice. Dad come down and shuttled me and dave ziegmann on a dh track, which was so much fun. i wont get to ride at home much more this summer so that was a treat.

I then got picked up by our team manager and mechanic, Nate, and we drove the specialized factory racing rig out to new jersey for the us open. nate was in the truck or 5 days straight, and myself for three...and we are both over it ha ha!!! we are in Washington DC now doing some photo shooting, and then we will race in the U.S. Open this weekend. On monday we fly to Barcelona for a race in Andorra,and the next weekend we go up to Ft William, Scotland.

I hope all of you are doing well!!! sorry for not updating again! I will get another one in here as soon as I can after this weekend!!
