Krahooligan Cash Cow: Day 1 (Part 1)

I’ve met some awesome new friends over the past two weekends and I’ve had the chance to reconnect with friends I haven’t seen in a while, it’s been great!!

Last weekend was the Krahooligan Cash Cow, the first Boardercross (BX) race I’ve ever entered that has had a cash purse. The race was at Copper and 11 women entered the contest (which was limited to 40 women).

First things first…I’m soooooo excited for the first race of the season but I’ve been waiting on my new race bindings (Burton CO2s)…they were finalllllyyyy delivered on Saturday night (the night before the race) and boy was I stoked!! I woke up early the next morning to get my set up ready….and I couldn’t get the bindings to fit on my race board (Burton Un Inc 160)….I had the original plates that came with the board and 3 other sets of plates that came with the bindings though!! Autumn (my race buddy and best girl friend up in Summit) got to my house as I was starting to freak out about the situation….I had her take a go at it and still no luck!! We rushed over to Copper and decided to get help from someone at a rental shop there. So I’m carrying three boards (2 with bindings on them) and the box with my race bindings in them…in a slight run…oh, it was ridiculous, check tha pic:



For those of you wondering why I had multiple boards, it’s because I want a fresh wax on my race board so I’ll ride one board to the course and carry my race board there. A lot of riders do it; I’m not the only one!! I brought three boards this time because I wasn’t sure what was going on with the CO2s!

So we get to the rental shop at the base and met a rental tech there named Eli…hoping he could help us?! No luck!! It’s crunch time by now (even though we were planning on getting there early!) so we’re rushing to get the Cartels (same model different year as bindings I raced on last year – remember I broke the old ones opening day at the Beav) off my Lib Tec…team effort with me and Eli and Eli’s setting me up with the Cartels on my UnInc!

We rushed up to the course and it was time for inspection…here’s the pre race interview we made:



I know I’m wayyyyy behind but I’ll be all caught up soon!! More from the Cash Cow coming up soon!!
