- Jon Watt – Snowmass
Snowmass was a good weekend! I got 3rd in the 4X and 2nd in the Super-D! The 4X final was pretty intense. Ross was in gate 1, I was in gate 2, Peter was in gate 3, and Erik Nelson was in gate 4. I got a pretty good start and tried to shut the inside door on Ross early because I knew he was going to push everyone out in the first corner. But Ross is a big guy and it’s tough to shut the door from the outside. I ended up getting pinched out between him and Peter, then I had to protect my line from Erik. I was really happy with this considering I have been training only for xc.
Here are the results:
Attached are some pics of the 4X and podium. A friend got a pic of the Super-D podium, but I haven’t gotten it yet.
After racing Nathrop and Snowmass, somehow I am ranked 10th in the nation in the gravity series:
