This was by far the toughest course I have raced. I fell three times during my race run. Twice in couch's corner and once in the dump (almost landed in the stream). I watch the JrX and Elites do their reserved practice runs and I could not believe how fast those guys can pin it through the dump!!!

Saw tons of HUGE crashes over the weekend. Good turnout for the Ubike boys.

Rick Loftus as usual took a ton of pictures and he will probably post them on his flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/rick_loftus/ and on dropmachine. For those of you who did not make it to Fortune, you will want to look at the pictures to see how gnarly this course was

Yeh it seemed everyone had a good run but at the same time messed up.

I fell twice and my chain fell off on the last bit, seemed like in my race run the bike was riding me so i was kind of all over the place.

I loved that course though, so technical and tough!

I messed up my hand falling coming out of couches corner and fell several times coming into the dump. Near the bottom I also went OTB because I wasn't paying attention and just smoked this one big rock. I have to say the race course was really fun, really rocky and I can't wait to actually race on it next year.

You will not need to wait until next year as the O-Cup provincials are held at Camp Fortune on Sept 13 and 14th. Exact course unknown, but it will have either the Dump or Couch's corner - hopefully both.

This is going to be an awesome race with the addition of the Quebec boys. Do you think Ontario will see any podiums? Personanlly I'll bet maybe one podium for Ontario.

Only 1 frenchie in the Elite Top 5, the local trail building/ Privateer racers where kept abay.

It was nice to see a real DH course in Ontario.

I was very surprised by the poor FQSC showing. Organizers were hoping to see allot more Q Sport / Expert riders out especially when the FQSC promoted and endorsed the race on their website (also, there were no conflicts with other local races). I hope the poor showing does not impact on Pete's plans for a combined O-Cup vs. Q-Cup show down next year. You're right, it is nice to see a real DH course on the O-Cup and it is worth the 4+ hours drive from TO.

The Ontario boys did REAL well, especially when you consider the total lack of terrain in Ontario. I would like to see how the overall quality of our Ontario racers would increase if we had a Camp Fortune and a Bromont within an hour drive from Toronto. Blue offers some elevation, but runs have been so sanitize for the public rider, it does not compare to PQ runs.

Harold, you were rippin it this weekend and you are fun to watch.
