Isn't the 'ugly bale of hay' accident at that very bottom of HP hill? You know, that giant step-up \ jump before you actually get on the hill ...

that is where the hillsboro 5 used to be, just after where leaches lump used to be. excellent ben!

Judging from these pics and some others I was looking at, the track has changed n several places since was there a few years back ...

In the second series #354 is local San Diego Lites Pro Chris Johnson (BRUX rider) he ended the National weekend in 17th OA. Hope that was practice...

I saw that front wheel to the bum moment while watching the race. It was like those bull riding or bull fighting moments when the bull is winning.

Thanks for watching/reading.

Mike Alessi's nex 350 SX picked the perfect place to flame out, right in front of the camera and by a downed rider. LOL

(Not picking on Mike, I think hes a good dude)

chris grew up here in vancouver, his dad was the referee at washougal for years. so glad to see him going fast

Good stuff Ben.

Also Knevo built that killer huge down hill double double section in the trees. Nice job Steve.

Later,

Thanks for clarification, I thought he was from PNW, but know he is based down here now, he rides Pala all the time. Very nice Dad and Son racing team. It's so dang tough for the privateers, no publicity, no news etc etc . I try to bang on the promoters as much as my little self can, to give the PAYING/ regular job riders some pub, to bring more to their wallets through wider participation/recognition.

chris dad phil used to be involved in alot of tracks in this area, i had no idea he was living in socal also. super nice guy. keep an eye out for landon currier also, another one of our nieghbors.
