WOODWARD CAMP; TAKE THREE

Posted by mislav CS as Vijesti

January, February, Woodward, April…
Well that is what my calendar’s looked like for the past few years… And today is month Woodward, year 2009.

Time: It’s training time.

It’s easy to guess where I’m at right now! Woodward Camp. And the biggest reason is training.
Last couple of months I decided to change my viewpoint on mountainbiking.
I decided to train, live and try to progress as much is possible, alike a real athlete. That means running, eating healthy, training smartly, taking a step at a time and, like Martin Ashton (Trials star) would like to say, “It’s all about practice!!”
Well, here I am at the best place for it in the world. This is my third time here so I basically feel at home, more like a dream home… Beside all the excitement, there was a new bike that Norco sent waiting for me. What can I say? Once I dreamt about these things and now I am living my dreams…

The Bike…

As soon as I took the bike out of the box, alongside all the best parts ever, the best part was my name on it, next to the CROATIAN FLAG !!! Well that was emotional!!! Hahhahahaha. THX, NORCO !!!! Put it all together and “My trick killing machine!” was ready to be ridden! So lets get on it!!!

Here9s how it goes: Wake up, breakfast, watch some telly; stretch, put the pads on, and RIDE! I had my goal set, and I told myself I wasn’t going home until I learned frontflip, and visited Pastrana’s house. Well, frontflip was the easy part. Two days of frontflips into the foampit. Landed 50 out of 60 tries, it was enough for resi. Watching Daniel Dhers doing 360 backflip tailwhip into the foampit was great motivation for me to step it up. I just repeated the sentence that Peter Kraus told me once: “GO FOR IT! And I did!!!
First try, done it… There were some small problems while landing, but that was ready to be changed. Second try… That’s It! I can go home now… Well maybe not just yet. There is one more goal to achieve, and that is Pastrana’s house! Next Monday!!!
