Well race fans, the first World Cup has come and gone. Although I finished 11th, my best World Cup finish to date, it was bitter-sweet. I was only 0.11 seconds away from placing in the top 10 and being able to race the final. Unfortunately, I touched gate 10 and incurred a 2-second penalty. Without this, I would have been sitting 5th, but, this is racing.
Anyways, I have recently uploaded the video of this race. You can check it out by clicking the following link:

Be sure to turn your speakers up loud....real loud....and then just wait for it.
Anyways, we are in Tacen, Slovenia now. World Cup #2 is this coming weekend. The Slovenian Canoe association always puts on a good show too. Tomorrow night, right in the heart of downtown Ljubljana will be a flat-water parallel slalom race. This event, which I have raced only once before, is incredible. Similar to the Hit Series slalom race two weeks ago, this race will be illuminated with massive floodlights and will likely be televised. Unfortunately I won't be racing this time around, but, being able to watch my friends compete for the cash prize is always fun to see.

wow-- if that was good enough for 11th, the quality of world Cup racing has gone down significantly... And remember that week in Dickerson when I was destroying your ass-- maybe I should have gone to Praha-- I would have won that shit!
Ha! Just kidding John-- SWEET action! I'm really impressed and pleased for you-- Tear it up!! (Just don't let Tacen destroy your confidence if things don't turn out all right! Damn Tacen....) And tell that ass pirate Hue to give you my sweater or I'm going to come show him what pillaging is all about Alberta Redneck style! lets just say round here when the bear is hungry, he will eat!!!
