Gracia wins Air DH

[funkendrenchman]

...around 4:15 I believe. Not sure, but I think Peat came in 2nd and Lopes came in 3rd.

[bcbud]

Cedric 1st,Lopes 2nd, Peat 3rd, me 33rd, they beat me by 19 seconds...fun times....

[M@M]

sorry for the out-of-the-loop-ness, but was the air dh garb and aline, or just aline?

[Rooter]

Here are some pics of The Gracia before turning into the GLC area.....

That boy can rip that place apart you could here all the Marshals calling out when he was passing them and all that most said was ROCKET COMING IN ON TARGET ****** FAST.

:agree:

[Trini-dad72]

Killer pics Rooter!!!!!!!!!!!! When that boy is on HE IS ON!!!!!!!

[Wildeman]

That is awesome, i cant wait to get up there saturday!!

[patrolskid]

that cedric guy is just amazing . . . . that line he is on there in those pics is not the straightest , fastest line , and we can assume he was probably stylin' it in other places down the track , and yet he rolls across the line with just enough time in hand to win it . how cool is that ?

but what i really like about cedric is how well he takes it . . . no big ego , no shit talk , the only thing that really seems important is how much fun he can generate for himself . that is nice to see in an athlete who is clearly one of the top players . . .

Cedric has more talent then most of the top racers.. IMHO...

It's just a matter of if he wants to win... sometimes I think he's just there for fun. And other times I think it's just an act.. in between the slicing and dicing of the competion.

Cedric is a travelling circus........and the best biker in the world, I love that guy

Garb and A-Line in 4:15? Maybe if he rode down the road. It was just down A-Line.

That line is the fastest for sure, that last table is hella short for how fast you come into it, pinning it after that flat long one, you either have to transfer like he did (+bonus style points) or shoot straight to flat, (which is bunk). I've seen guys eat shit there, cause they think you can take it at full tilt straight. :hurt:

no doubt. but look how he nails it so perfect, so far up the tranny!

[Straw]

I watched most of it from the Rock Drop area, and it was really cool to see Cedric pumping those two hits after the lefty berm.

The really fast guys would make the whole berm shake! I was sitting pretty much on it, and sometimes it felt like an earthquake.
