New Intense M9 at Mammoth Mountain
August 26, 2010Mammoth Mountain, California * August 2010
“I went to mammoth just this last weekend and had an AMAZING time. every run was open and all the lifts were running. Aside from the perfect weather (never got above 75°) all the trails were perfectly groomed and ready for shredding. The newest run they have is called TwiLiGhT, this is the run that I spent the most time. it has multiple drops ranging is size, tech sections wood ramps and wall rides. It has a new 180° 7ft+ wall ride that is super fun. And at the end you get to run through 8-10 table tops ranging is height and length (perfect to get all whip nasty on). if you guys ever get a chance to make it to mammoth, seize it! You will not be disappointed.” - Jake Cooper

2010 WC DH #4 Champery
July 29, 2010Christian Wright update
July 24, 2010
Hello Everyone,
Christian competed successfully at the USA Mountain Bike Nationals and took an 8th in his catagory…three days of riding after being out for two months and knee surgery recovery! He really handeled himself well, and managed his speed to avoid be injured again.
He left to race for the USA at the World Cup in Champere Switzerland on Monday. Unfortunatly, in a practice run, his back brake froze when he landed a big jump and threw him off of his bike. He was air lifted to the closest hospital and then air lifted again in extremly critical condition. He had ruptured his spleen and kidney, and was suffereing severe internal bleeding.
Clark just got to Switzerland one hour ago and is with him. Five minute visitations only. He is in ICU/Critical Care for a minimum of five days. He had surgery yesterday to attempt to stop the bleeding. He is very tierd and sleeps a lot. It is great to have Clark there.
I will let you know how things are going as they progress. CT Scan tomorrow which will give more information. He had been unconscious for quite some time and was actually lifted off of the hill on a board and rope….
We appreciate your prayers for Christian. He is strong…and loves to mountain bike. That will keep him going!
I will send another update soon.
Lots of love,
Karen Wright
