Pinkbike.com interviews Gracia

I like this question: What are some issues that you face when riding or racing?

Pretty much just this -
Should I race or have fun?

Filthy Trails One Minute race

Yesterday the Filthy Trails hosted it’s first One Minute Downhill Race, and 80 riders showed up! The weather was perfectly sunny, the crowd was relaxed and the trails where… different! *grin* The Filthy Trails have 3 tracks that are about a minute to ride. These tracks where taped so everyone had the same line-choice (which was a good thing) but it mean some improvising at times if you hadn’t checked it out. I had a great time and even-though I ****ed-up the big line (I wanted so badly to step it up) the tracks where awesome and it’s a very very good thing that these kinds of events take place.
