Third annual Focus Banked Slalom

Another year in the books. Three years of Tyrol Basin helping us out with the Banked Slalom and again they nailed it. This years we had a little less snow to work with after having to move the race up a month from our normal date but the course was super smooth and fast. The weather was a little cold but we had a good turn out considering the near zero temps.

This is me getting way down through the turn.

Mens 15 and under

1 Alex Zipper 34:84 (Focus team rider)
2 Cole Blakley 36:16
3 Gabe Anderson 37:62 (focus team rider)

Women open class

1 Rachel Falsey 40:86

Glad Rachel came out and put up a solid time for the lady's. Some more girls are going to have to get out and ride the course and see that it's not to intimidating. Hope next year we have a few more lady's out there.

Mens 16- 20

1 Nick Howe 33:96 (one of two hard boot riders out on the course)
2 Vince Schmitz 34:42
3 Zac Coons 40:10

Mens 21 Open class

1 Sonny Nimityongskul 33:61
2 John Dobbe 33:98 (Focus Owner)
3 Sunya Nimityongskul 35:02

The Nimityongskul brothers two years in a row are both in the top three. Sonny really holding it down with the fastest regular and switch run of the day.
