This picture is from Saturday's Masters main event at South Park. I was riding good all day and this lap was no exception, up until just about this point. Leading the way as we plunged in to the second turn, one of my competitors was nice enough to show me the outside white line and make sure I stayed there all the way to the far outside curb jump lip of the big triple step. This left me no chance of continuing over the big doubles of the pro section so instead of cutting across the track and crashing in to others I decided to shut it down and live to race another day (that day was Sunday).

I was pretty shot for Sunday but I put together the best effort I could, making it to the main event with a few more points than Saturday. I managed to squeak out a third place finish in the main. I had qualified for nine consecutive main events (four since the injury) in the masters class but this was my first podium, which was great and only slightly tainted by the idea of what could have been on Saturday.

Check out F*ck BMX for more pics and Team Long Island : BMX for race footage.

Ever think about updating your site? Do I have to read this article again? How's your injury doing?
