Slalom magazine designed by Jani Soderhall and put together for the race.

The racing was amazing. I have been meaning to post about Worlds. So many amazing things have been happening. The film crew Lou and Brea followed Leiola Kahuku and I to Italy with Leiola's family. Her parents and two Uncles.

Practice day photo on the Hybrid by Max Eaton. Leiola and family went up on Tuesday to check out the race locations. It was extra effort and 120.00 round trip to go the 20 minutes by van to the hill. I wanted to see the hill and the foot braking. The GS was the first race which had a gnarly left turn with grates and manhole covers to look out for. 

Leiola did amazing at her second slalom competition. This is the Giant Slalom photo by Max Eaton. This was a fast hill.

I posted a few videos of the runs on my YouTube Channel.

I didn't know until this morning that I was 13th overall. All the information I had leaving Italy I was 14th. Super cool to move up one.

Fun racing over the past weekend. Here are jpgs from the final PDF's. I always like to review my times and think about things I could of done to improve my racing. My arm swing, truck adjustments, wheel durometer, and anything else like not enough sleep that affected the outcome.

I placed 2nd overall for the weekend.

I was happy to place 3rd in the Giant Slalom.

2nd in the tight and 3rd in the Hybrid but I think I could have qualified higher if I had a cleaner run on the second run. I was getting cones sprayed into my lane all the way down. They counted I hit 11 but Leiola's mom had a video and so I was able to contest it and it went to under the DQ total of 9. 

I counted 6 cones total.

Thanks Jonathan Harms for the YouTube footage.

The BAR 2.0 was tall and scary. Yes, I crashed on my ass on the first drop but was able to change my torn shorts and try again. I made the drop but didn't make the course. My foot shifted and I almost crashed a third of the way down the hill but corrected. I ended up racing off the smaller ramp.
