Indoor 4x Wrap-up!
Well, that's all she wrote. Abbotsford Indoor 4x is finished for the 2009-2010 season! With plenty of thrills and spills to keep anyone entertained, I'm surprised there aren't even more people coming out to have some fun!
There obviously needs to be a HUGE thanks thrown out to the volunteers. All the guys and gals processing registrations, posting results, going hoarse calling names for the motos, they are much appreciated and all deserve a dozen or so high fives. There are of course the sponsors of the event, and Kona bikes in particular made the schwag flow on finals night. Two dirt jump bikes, a stack of clothing and gloves, and other awesome goodies were awarded to the racers. Watching the U15s and Juniors attack the schwag table was like one of those wildlife films about hyenas or vultures. If you weren't careful you would lose an arm.
Check the race reports and the photo gallery from this season!
Finally, a big thanks to everyone that listened to my (Kyle's) incessant harping about racing and came out and gave it a try. I hope to see everyone next year when the gate drops again!

Trail Manners Are Important!
Don't leave your trash at the trailhead, it's bad form. Especially if there's a receipt for your new tire with your name, address and phone number on it.
Hilarity ensues.
