NZ had 7 riders qualified in the top 80 final and 5 of them ended up in the top 20!
Brook MacDonald's run was so smooth and flawless it was awesome to watch and when he came through the line and put 5.6 seconds into the ride who was in the hot seat i couldn't help but have a wee cheer in the living room by myself! I convinced myself
he was going to win after that but in the end he was bumped back to 3rd place only .515 of a second behind the winner Aaron Gwin!
Brook is on fire at the moment and i'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of his series goes, he has a huge future ahead of him.
Next in line the big horse Cam Cole who was one of my groomsmen at my wedding in March charged into 5th place for his first podium of the season, it was good to see him looking solid on the bike again and pulling a good result, look out for
him at Windham next weekend, hes won a US national there before!
Blinky was flying like usual and put in a very good ride for 7th but looked a bit disappointed at the bottom.
Justin Leov put a solid ride in on the new carbon Trek Session to take 10th and Scolsy (best man at my wedding) had an average run (stolen from his facebook status) but still managed a solid 19th keeping him in the top 20 overall heading into next weekends race.
I'm going to miss my world cup fix next weekend because im off to samoa on Thursday for my honeymoon but hopefully the boys will be able to have another good weekend and keep NZ on top of the world!
