The 505 did well at the National Championship this weekend (see http://www.cyclingdirt.org/article/post and http://forums.mtbr.com/forumdisplay.php?f=91 post). Unfortunately Chris Boice broke his arm :madman: during DH practice but everyone else held it together on some really tough gravity courses. I took the 40-44 Cat1 DH class but the best part was beeting Greg "H-Ball" Herbold's time who won the 45-49 class. My son Ben let a tree come between him and the podium but kept from crashing hard and had an OK run. Here's some pics from yesterday:

Great news Neal! I'm stoked that you beat the world famous MTB legend, "HB". He's an incredible rider, so thats a feat in itself.
Now I can tell all of my friends that I ride with the national champ!
By the way, is your Hamburglar jersey your good luck jersey? You sure do win a lot in that shirt!
You da man.
