What's up everyone! This has truly been an endeavor. Bringing 1000 people to Seattle, showing them a great time and putting on one helluva Worlds comp has truly been a privelege.

Sunday Sept 14 Photos

It's Sunday morning. This weekend has been packed with events and it has proved to be very difficult to find free time. On Monday results will be posted, as well as hundreds of photos so you can see a little of all the action. On Saturday we had main race qualifying going on! About 300 riders made the cut and will be racing for the world title this afternoon at 2p. The midnight alleycat went down last night also, it was a good mash with about 50 riders. Thanks to local messenger Cory for setting up the race! Check back very soon as we will have time to update the site fully Sunday night or Monday. Thanks to everyone who has shown support for CMWC and Morris Post!

Here are a few results for you:

More results to come very soon.

     


Thursday Sept 11 Photos

It's Thursday night, hundreds of riders are in town from all over the country and around the world! It rained all day and we drank all night. Everyone started at the Noc Noc, had a few drinks and then moved on to the Lava Longe in Belltown. There were an overwhelming amount of people we wanted to meet but there was in no way enough time. We hope those who have already arrived had a good trip and to those in transit, we'll see you soon! After tonight, it is evident that the party has already begun.
