I raced the Crazy Bend XC June 1st. It was the final round of the Montana XC Series. There were a lot of tight technical trails, rocks a plenty and miles of square edged whoops. I got a good start 2nd and maintained the spot for a quarter of a lap. I got stuck in some nasty rocks on an up hill section and came into the endurocross section in third. I pushed hard and maintained my position through the first lap. Second lap I had major troubles and slipped to 5th or 6th. I made a charge through the roughly last five miles of sharp rocks and square edged whoops and passed my way back to a third place finish. It was a great race. I finished the season tied for 4th. A sincere thank you to all my sponsors for help with my successful season. Next up: Big Sky XC and Primm, Nevada.

I raced round #1 of the Montana XC in Pipestone, Montana on April 6th. I was a two hour cross country race with some gnarly rock sections. I finished 12th in the 40B. I was hoping for a top ten. Next weekend is round #2 in Cascade, Montana O-6 Enduro 4hr ISDE format. I finished 7th last year and received a Bronze Medal. I am looking to improve on last year's results. Again I would like to thank those that have and are supporting me in my endeavors: agv, Gaerne, JT Racing, Smith Optics, Leo Vince, Leatt, ASV, Rekluse and Ben's Quality Cycle.

I raced this past weekend in WORCS rd #3 at Lake Havasu. It was my first race since knee surgery. Did about how I expected and am looking to improve in future rounds. My next race is Montana XC rd #1 Pipestone Montana in two weeks. I'd like to thank my sponsors: Gaerne, agv, Smith Optics, JT Racing, Leo Vince, Leatt, ASV and Rekluse. Your products and support are appreciated. It is cool having people ask who manufactured my gear as they had never seen some of the products.
Thanks again,
Timothy Downs
