The 2022 Downhill Southeast series season has begun! SRAM has partnered with the series this year offering all sorts of extra perks for participating and especially for winning. Perks like free race photos and stepping up the recap videos.
Sequatchie, TN, had been having terrible weather leading up to the race causing flooding in the area which affected the track until the crew got there and quickly cleaned it up. Friday and the first half of Saturday people were loving the track because at that time there was actually grip. But once the rains came and went, the peanut butter effect came into play making for more of a just-try-to-get-down affair. Those who could cast aside the fear of sliding off a cliff highlighted who had the confidence in the slop.
It was great seeing everyone reconnecting and hanging out in the pits and at the finish. All in all it was a good weekend and TTC will be a definite return venue. Trials bikes, dirt bikes and downhill bikes make a great trifecta, and doing it in such a uniquely beautiful and rural setting made it that much cooler. Next stop will be at Windrock April 1-3 and its going to be fast and wild, see all ya'll down there!
