these whoops took a toll on a lot of the riders out there, several of them were getting high centered in them, the track crew eventually made them a little tamer

heres #24 Robert Salinas having trouble on the whoops, Robert is one of our local riders and is a very nice guy! he did get those whoops down after a couple of laps!

heres #743 Brock Lyons showing his stuff through the whoops! Brock is a cool guy, I hung out with him, Brad Phillips, and Skyler Stewart and they are all really nice and very good for our sport

heres two riders battling it out already in practice, the racer still in the air is #41 Bryan Chaler from Louisiana

heres #23 Don Dupuis on a Cannondale/ATK on the gas in a straight! Don is one of our local pro racers and is a very nice guy, he has helped me a lot with my Cannondale. Don went out there and tried his best even though his clutch was not working very well.

#118 Brad Phillips had a pretty nasty wreck during practice he still hung around at the track (and rode too!) and had a smile on his face. What a trooper!

EDIT: I found out from Brad that he had broken his collarbone in two places. I hope you have a speedy recovery Brad! See you in Lake Whitney

Tim Farr seemed to be very smooth out on the track in practice, the way he went through the whoops was amazing.
