Jeep #2 - San Luis Obispo

So Tuesday and Wednesday I was pretty much just packing and trying to get things organized before I go. I had to pack for the Jeep race this weekend and I had to pack a different bag for the BMX UCI Supercross race in Beijing, China. It's gonna be pretty nuts. I'll fly home Saturday night after racing on Saturday at the Jeep race and land at LAX. Drive home and do some re-packing, shower, eat something, and then get a ride back to LAX around 10:45pm and catch my red-eye to Beijing at 1:40 am. I'll get into Beijing at 5:20 am get picked up and head straight to the track more than likely. We have practice at 10:00am and time trials I think around 2:00pm. I'm already going to miss the Sunday practice session so when I get there it's ON. I just need to get there and start hitting stuff. The track there is gonna be crazy. Straight out of the huge roll in starting gate there is a 22 foot double into a 28 foot double. Let me just say that hitting a 28 foot jump on your mountain bike is way different than hitting a 28 foot jump on your BMX bike. But from the looks of the Jeep course this weekend it should be good preparation for Monday. Here are some photos of the track. Both Rob and E.C helped design and build it. It is SUPER windy and hot here, but the good thing is they built the bigger jumps with the wind at your back and not a cross or head wind. There are a couple sections where there is a bit of a cross wind, but it shouldn't be as bad as last year. The container jump is bigger this year than last. This year we are jumping over 2 containers and there is a dirt lip about 16 feet before you even hit the dirt container. So if you hit the whole thing it's I think about 30-32 feet. But we've got a tailwind so it should be do-able.
Anyway, check it out and I'll try to write more later.
