"Last Chance for Glory" Platty

So this was the last race of the season, if was a lot of fun. I went into this race with the idea that I was just going to have fun, and I did. I can in first in Exp/Pro Women. It was just my mom and I in the class so we both just had fun that week. The course was a lot of fun it was really muddy and pretty technical. The course def challenged me, but in the end I hhad no problem with it. This course made my confidence rise, and improved my riding skill. It was a blast. This was a great race to end of with for the season.

The best race of the whole series, I think. The course was a blast, super fast, rocky and technical. I was only like 6 seconds behind the 4th place pro women, so that made my excited. This also the first time that I bet my mom.  After the race a couple of us went out and did a couple runs on other tracks. We went down this one track with this massive shot. At the top of the shoot there is a sign that says "No Brakes", we def used brakes b/c at the bottom there was a 90 degree turn. This track made us go through trees that I didn't think I could fit. It was a knarly track. This was an awsome race course and would love to go back if they have another race there.

Nationals @ Mt.Snow

So nationals went great. I ended up getting 1st for DH Sport Women 19-29, and 1st also in Beg/Sport Women DS. The DH track was awsome, they changed it up, from years before. Had a lot of fun, and felt really good riding. I have to say that the DS course was the best of the year. It was smooth and really fast. Nationals went good and can't wait til next year.
