Gravity East Round 1

Massanutten Resort, McGayetsvill, VA.

This weekend was the first round of the Gravity East Seriesand was also the first weekend on a downhill bike for most of the team.

For Team Voncooper it was a weekend to test out our newbikes and get to know the new teammates Adam Mores and Tim White.  Friday was course inspection. We spentmost of the day dialing in our suspension and getting the bikes really readyfor the season. After only a few runs all of the team members felt great on thebikes. For everyone on the team our goals were to put down a sold race run andgain confidence on the new GT Fury.

Adam Morse ended up in 11th place in the Proclass. Considering Adam drove all the way from Seattle Washington to this race,it was a great result.

Tim White was less than one second off of Adams time andended up 12th in Pro. Tim had a clean run, but knows where to makeimprovements.

Willem Cooper put together a smooth run that he was happywith and ended up in 7th in Category 1 19-29. He knows he needs towork on carrying speed throughout his whole run and is confident he can breaktop 5 at the next race.

Jake Baxter smashed and bashed threw the rocks to end up in13th place in Category 1 19-29. He knows he needs to work on hisfitness from this weekend and plans on doing so before the next race.

All in all, the first weekend of the race season was a hugesuccess and really helped with team moral. We all look forward to the nextrace.
