DANIEL BLANC-GONNET (4-2)
In the shootout, the first section was actually the gnarliest one. Pretty
big step in it. In the first loop I fived it. I was in second gear and I just
didn’t think I had the drive. I shifted to third the second loop and I had a
lot more momentum and made it in the second loop. The other sections
were pretty good. The one I’m kind of disappointed about is actually
section three with the end where you kind of had to side hop over. I tried
a rear tire the first line. I think that wasn’t the right move for me. I’m not
really good on the rear tire. I should have side hopped it. That could
have saved me actually second place. That put me down to fourth after
that. Pretty good ride. I’m getting my confidence back, which is good.
