 Last weekend the SBF crew rode their local spot in PV with 2004 MTX World Champion and Team Mongoose's Eric Carter. Eric was on hand with his personal quiver of racing machines including his two new signature bikes, the ECD and ECX, as well as the hardtail he rode in the Red Bull Road Rage. The SBF team and guests had the opportunity to try out each of the bikes on their native terran with Eric to assist in tuning the bike to suit their size and style.
All of the riders responded with very positive feedback finding both bikes to be incredibly agile and responsive, especially the ECD with its extremely light weight. After a few hours of riding together, Eric let the gang go off to try out the bikes on their own. Later, everyone met up top for barbeque and time talk to EC about the bikes and riding in general.
SBF always has a great time riding together, but we were especiallly pleased and appreciative to have Eric Carter come out and share his equipment and passion for the sport of mountain bike racing with us. With that, we would like to thank Eric for coming out. We had a blast.

 Southridge Racing Club event promoter Don Jackson has a very special way of concluding the season. Every December SRC thanks its members and riders by hosting a special awards celebration. For one, how much of a better way is there to kick off the holidays other than partying with fierce competitors?
South Bay Freeride was there making a lot of racket and showed their appreciation by presenting Don Jackson an award for keeping the So Cal DH racing scene alive.

 South Bay Freeride would like to extend a special thanks to Don Jackson and the whole Southridge Racing Club crew for organizing and hosting a great series of events for the 2005 racing season. The loss of Big Bear hit the Southern California DH racing community pretty hard, but Don Jackson and SRC stepped up to keep the sport alive and kicking. SBF appreciates the effort and will continue to bring a strong presence to Southridge in in the 2006 racing season.
If you are new to mountain bike racing, Southridge is a great place to get started. You won't find a friendlier or more supportive bunch of people anywhere. For more information please visit www.southridgeusa.com.

On Saturday, December 3 and Sunday, December 4 the Warrior's Society will host trail work parties at the Flying B Ranch. The plan is to constructing the first of 4 new single track trails and the one downhill course to be used in our 2006 Flying B Event Series.
The majority of the terrain of the first XC singletrack they are building is on a gentle grassy slope and will require very little benching and no brushing. Trail designers Eron Boyer and Jason Sladeck have laid out two new singletracks that really flow and will be fun to ride both up and down.

 Don Jackson's SRC events continue to get good coverage on the Mountain Bike Action website. The 2005 Southridge Challenge was a really fun event and a great opportunity to check out some top notch products from a number of vendors including Mongoose, Foes, Intense, Yeti, and many others. The SBF team had a chance to talk with 2004 4x world champion Eric Carter about the new line of Mongoose race bikes (pictured). With the 2005 racing season coming to a close, we are looking well ahead to an exciting 2006 racing season. We hope to see you out there.
