World Cup Final in Slovenia and more...

It's been long time since last time I updated my blog...
I got back to Japan last month and now I've been relax at home.

By the way I had a great week in Slovenia World Cup final.
I finished 2nd place in 4X!! It was very close to win!
Also I end up 3rd in 4X overall:)



Donwhill was a little frustrating race...
I was 4th in Semi-Final so I tried harder and harder.
But... my final run was almost same time with semi-final run and end up 9th.
Also end up 7th in DH overall.

I think it was successful season for me this year! Especially 4X.

I have two more race in Japan.
Next week there is National series final in Sena, Ishikawa.
It is one of the hardest track in Japan so I'm looking forward to it:)

Worlds

I had World Champs at Fort william, Scotland last week.
I raced 4X and Downhill.

4X track wasn't my type of track but it was quite fun.
I had bad run in qualification and I was 8th place.
Final start from 1/4 Final.
Jana Horakova was in front and I followed her.
In Semi-Final, after first corner I hit with Aussie rider.
I didn't crash but I lost my speed.
I tried to catch Jana Horakova and Anneke Beerten but I couldn't.
Then I had Small Final.
It was great run and I finished 5th place.

Downhill was pretty tough track as usual.
They changed first bit but almost same.
Jeff of Intense was build new M6 for me and I rode M6.
It was super comfortable and perfect bike for Fort William.
My suspension setting wasn't perfect when I had seeding run and I was 9th place.
After seeding run, I still had a couple of days practice and I could feel everyday getting better.

Final day, it was suuuuper windy at top section.
It was scary to ride fast but I tried as possible as I can fast.
In bottom jump section, my legs was sold out...
I tried to pedal but I couldn't clear jumps... I think I lost a lot of my time in here...
Anyway I was 6th place.

Next week is World Cup final in Maribor, Slovenia.
I will better result than Worlds!!!



Check out my new M6 bike!!!
