The downhill was decided by this tricky section of off-chamber. Chris Payton demonstrates the importance of a full-face helmet. He finished 12th in Sport 18- class.
Sixth-place Vet Pro Mike Thomson is able to relax now that he has passed the off-chamber. Southridge receives a large showing of very fast Masters.
Clearing the off-chamber was easy. You had to be careful not to hit the rock on the right but have enough speed to avoid sliding to the left. Duncan Riffle demonstrates how it’s done.
U.S. MX #3 Rich Houseman makes the left turn that leads to off-chamber valley. Rich finished 4th, less than 3 seconds behind Pro winner Duncan Riffle.
Yeti rider Rich Houseman runs his DH Clinic before, during, and after practice and finals. More info on the popular school is at www.teamhouseman.com.
