REPOST: Russell Fork is on!

Posted by Chris Hipgrave on September 28, 2016 in Competition | Leave a comment

This weekend marks the beginning of Russell Fork season. Breaks Interstate Park and the Russell Fork gorge are among my favorite places on earth. The high point of this month of releases is the Lord of the Fork race on the last weekend. Like many of you, the releases leading up to the race, give me the opportunity to fine tune race lines, try new things and play around with fellow competitors.

Below are my 2014 and 2015 Lord of the Fork race runs. In 2014 it almost felt easy with solid lines and a conservative effort over the 6 minutes leading to a 3rd place finish. In 2015 I had some issues in Triple Drop but rallied to end up 8th.

I hope this POV video helps with your training. See you on the Fork!
