Ben's Team Dunbar Blog: October 2010

2010 Has been the most fun season I have had to date. I got my riding back on track and rode some pretty awesome spots. The year started off with a sick roadtrip to California with Dobie, Graham and Jamie. Next up was racing time. I really think all my off season training regime paid off this year. I raced a couple of NW Cup races down in PA and then proceeded on to tear it up at BC Cup. This year I chose to race in the Senior men class which was hilarious. Ray Faubert, Graham Davey, and myself had a good time racing and enjoying the laid back approach to the fullest. Good times. I raced in the North Shore Smackdown DH, Aarduum, Bear Mtn, and then we were off to Panorama.

I raced in the Mad trapper DH and then the next race the following weekend. In between races we did a little road tripping around the Kootenays and Rocky Mountains which was pretty awesome. Then after that off to Whistler for Crankworx. Crankworx was pretty awesome I raced the AirDH which is my favorite race of the season and I was having so much fun doing whips I even risked it a bit and threw down a pretty awesome Nac-nac in my race run so that was all in all very thrilling for me. Next was the Canadian Open Dh which was sweet crazy course and it was kind of a chaotic practice sessions with short hours and hot shot pros flying around doing race laps. I had a good incident with some dude from Yeti flying in behind me when I was cruising the course getting a feel for things and I kinda blocked him a bit and he yelled away then proceeded to crash further down. Thats the good times of racing and we shared a laugh afterwards. Then we finished the season off with some rad times in Bromont.

Anyways thats my season and I had a lot of fun. Thanks to Rob and Dunbar Cycles for hooking me up and Len the mechanic. Then also to my parents for being awesome. Also everyone who I rode with it was sweet. I will let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
