Dogbone 2011...  Last year it hailed, this year it was sweaty hott.  Pro and expert classes raced top to bottom on what might be considered one of the most technical courses offered at Northstar.  Think rock drops, rock gardens, dusty blown out corners, etc.  Sport and beginner categories took a challenging but fun ride down Karpiel to Speed Control to lower Sticks.  Both courses ended in the fun and flowy "Daytona berms" with a breathtaking finish over the wooden ramp known as the "fly away".

 Here's a rad little video edit by, Anna Wigandt, who had to sit this race out due to a shoulder injury she sustained while having fun on Livewire a few weeks back.  This awesome little edit has great coverage of both race courses and conveys the amazing turn out of participants.  Hope you heal up soon Anna and great job to everyone who raced!!
