Excellent video! I ride Vail Lake all the time, and I saw some singletrack in the video I didn't recognize. Did they add new trails out there?

Did two laps of this course again this past Sunday. The trails were nice and tacky after the rain we had last week. The single track was fast and flowy.

By the way, I noticed this go pro vid on the US CUP facebook page. Nice!

It quickly ended in tears for me at race #3 in Fontana:

[fastmq]

did you flat again? that was a technical course i ate it on the first lap but still got 2nd in my age group. thanks for the videos.

[Mr Kermit the Frog]

Good job on your 2nd place! That course was so much fun.
I got a pinch flat the second time, the small CO2 cartridge could not fully inflate the 29er tire. I learned that!
Turns out my tubeless tire wasn't torn or anything, it just burped. I assumed the worst and put a tube in without inspecting first. So many mistakes.

Bonelli Park looked like it was uphill 95% of the time (how is that possible?) and the 5% that was downhill seemed super rocky. When I have time I'll check out the 3rd one. Thanks a lot for posting the videos.

Sycamore Canyon, Race #5
The GoPro Hero3 stopped recording before the end of the first lap for absolutely no reason.
