Brave souls fought the wind and chilly temperatures at round two of the CCCX DH series in Salinas, CA. For results and photos from round one, please click here. Point One Racing team members made the journey to show their true colors and represent the products that are second to none.
Mike Amaral had an amazing run for the win, but came up a little short. Very impressive considering the training crash he had less than one year ago.
Alex Amaral, in star-studded fashion easily took another win in the junior expert class. He is absolutely on fire and we shall see if he can continue his dominating win streak.
Jimmy Amaral faced a stacked pro class, but held his own and finished off the race with an awesome time.

Special thanks to Rick Rasmussen for the photos.

2009 Keyesville Classic
Please check out our own Jordan Lopez and his race report from the 2009 Keyesville Classic.
Over the weekend I was able to compete in the Men's PRO DH at the Keyesville Classic and it was an amazing time. The Keyesville race had an amazing "Grass Roots" feel, where everybody was there to have a good time and race in great conditions.
This event consisted of two separate Downhill courses which were combined for a overall time.
The two courses were:
Dutch Flat - a high speed course with lots of loose sand and 3 steep dissents
Snake Pit - a very "pedaly" beginning with a long rock garden and steep g-outs at the end.
I am excited to say that I was able to put together two great runs and finish in 4th place of 22 racers, combining a 5th of 22 in my first run and 3rd of 22 in my second run.
I am very stoked with this result and I feel that it offers me a clear view of the successes my off-season training and my preparedness for this upcoming season.
I now look forward to my first "US Cup" race down in Fontana, at which I will be racing in the Men's PRO Downhill and Open Super D. I hope to see you all down there.
Thanks again to all of my amazing sponsors.
