Hungry for Homestake?

By Christopher Wing • Jun 4th, 2009 • Category: Feature Story, Pro Circuit Results, Teva Mountain Games, WK Pro Event Coverage

Unlike the last couple of weeks, the skies were blue and cloudless… that was until predictably the rain clouds organized around 2:30.  Fortunately the race was over at that point, so competitors were treated to 70 deg temperatures and sunny skies whereas last year it was raining and sleeting.
Last year was one of the most [...]

Southeast Event Sets a Precedence

By Christopher Wing • Aug 24th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story, Pro Circuit Results, Teva Mountain Games, WK Pro Event Coverage

Yesterday morning started with a bit of apprehension, apprehension that any organizer would have with their first major event. Daniel Dutton informed me that around 8:00 AM that there were only 16 competitors registered for the event, but that he was anticipating at least ten more. Not so surprising to me, the event [...]

20 Minutes of Pain and Heated Freestyle Competition

By Christopher Wing • Jun 7th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story, Festival Coverage, Pro Circuit Results, Teva Mountain Games, WK Pro Event Coverage

I sat next to Andrew Holcombe this morning after the conclusion of the Downriver Sprint on Gore Creek not realizing he had just finished. He looked surprisingly fresh and dry considering he just sprinted 3 miles downstream through class II-III. “It’s 20 minutes of absolute pain,” Holcombe said. “I will be just [...]

Demonstrations in Controlled Drowning-Day 1

By Christopher Wing • Jun 7th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story, Festival Coverage, Pro Circuit Results, Teva Mountain Games, WK Pro Event Coverage

That’s right, I said it! I believe freestyle, especially the kind where you are taking timed runs in frigid water at elevation causing mild hypoxia is nothing more than a demonstration in controlled drowning! And I am convinced that many of todays competitors would quickly agree.
After a brutal day of weather yesterday during the Homestake [...]

By Christopher Wing • Jun 5th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story, Festival Coverage, Pro Circuit Results, Teva Mountain Games, WK Pro Event Coverage

The Homestake Creek Race takes place on the class V Homestake Creek in Red Cliff Colorado. This race had its humble beginnings when Ken “Hobie” Hoeve, Dagger Product Manager, decided to have a race on one of his back yard creeks. The incentive to bring boaters out and participate, a keg of beer. This race [...]

Ice Cream Headaches and Thin Air

By Christopher Wing • Jun 4th, 2008 • Category: Feature Story, Festival Coverage, Pro Circuit Results, Teva Mountain Games, WK Pro Event Coverage

I arrived in Vail yesterday, June 2, in the later afternoon after making the drive west for two days. The little 88′ Toyota truck has served me well once again forever proving that they are the greatest vehicles ever made! Being road weary and ready to stretch out a bit and get some much needed [...]
