This weekend Kai and I took part at the national slovenia race in Maribor, on the World cup track. It was a great weekend, the weather was just brilliant. I guess the track will be hard in rain… So fingers crossed for the world cup. I like the track fast, tricky corners, wide open parts, and few jumps. Okay the jumping part isn’t my favourit but at the end I did it. I ended up 3rd and the austrian chicks were leading… First Petra Bernhard, Second Anita Molcik and Me. So we all were pretty happy.

Of course I have to mention that I couldn’t avoid to get bruises. I crashed in my training run on saturday in the stone section… Not good choice. No I have completly blue thighs and hmm I can’t even walk very well. But riding is good. I was for a ride yesterday and I had no pain.

At the moment I am sitting in the Press Center in Friedrichhafen. The time seems to be running. The world cup season is nearly finished and I have already had to think about sponsors. What I am gonna do next year. I think or I hope that I can keep most of my sponsors. Generali (an insurance company) has said already yes for the next year. I am so stocked about that because it is my most important sponsor.

So yeah I will see what this weekend brings. Today we were at the Demo day, where you could test bikes. But there were nearly just cross country and freeride bikes to test and I would have liked to ride some downhill bikes.

Now it’s 2 years since the bike park Wagrain has opened and this year Jason and his crew organised a new generation race. Two runs. The first was against the time and the second was judged. The track wasn’t very long so it took us just 50 seconds. But a lots of obstancles and jumps were to passed. I had so much fun. Racing and Styling in one… I like the idea..I didn’t take it that serious…I won the competition and got good price money and a bling bling neckless… yo yo yo.

The party was also very good - organised by a near located skate shop. (Tigas base) Lots of dancing and lots of drinking. Jägermeister was the main drink because the winner spend his whole price money on that drinks. A box full with this little bottles which I guess must taste horrible. Hmm so no wonder that the party finished early. About 12 I went to bed and next day we spend a great day on the new bike park trails.

For next year the Bike park is planing to race from the top so about 10 minutes….. I can’t await that.

After the weekend we were in Leogang and in the new bike park in Czech Republik. Not to bad the freeride track is very nice and they will finish the downhill track soon.

That’s how it looks like when I clean my bike….
My next stop is in Györ (HUN) tomorrow. Going wake boarding… YEAH I like it. And my next riding stop is maybe the 24 hour race (Semmering)

Kai and I came home on monday. We had a great training week in France and after that we went to Switzerland, where we took part at a Swiss IXS cup. It was a very simple track but good fun. A lot of parts to pedal also uphill. We both were very tired from 6 non stop riding days and sometimes we forgot about that. Kai broke his fork and so it wasn’t very perfect for him. I felt good in training. Of course tired but okay. I had a good first run and a crash in my second one. I didn’t get injured or broke something on my bike. I managed it to slide into the spectateurs.hmm so I lost a lot of seconds. I don’t know which place I could have made…Yes must, could, should, didn’t …that’s racing. You love it or you hate it.

What else happened, we spend some days at Kai’s friend Clemens, so we did a sight seeing tour through Bern (Sui)

Clemens and Kai

and we swam across a very very very dangerous river to save a poor little screaming sheep on the other side of ther river.noooooo i am cheeky. The real story is. On the way to Wiriehorn we passed a river and along the river the hikers piled stones. You can see on the picture below.
We tried to build up one stone tower but hmm finally we failed. So but the most excited thing was to reach the place where all the stone towers were. The river looked very calm from the car but in real we didn’t know how to cross it without landing with our cameras in the water.

Kai and I are still playing the tractor game and we have a new pencil for the game. Her/His name is Traci. She/He is a very talented counter and does an excellent job. He/she was quite expensive but it was a safe investment.

Our next stop will be Wagrain the Symphony Jam Session (11.August). So everybody who has time should come BECAUSE I have birthday on Saturday… Getting old I know 24.. Anyway it will be a good event lots of riding and party.

See you Miss DH
