Dante and I had the great pleasure of attending the Pan American Continental Championships in Tucuman, Argentina. We got a chance to experience some of the best Dulce De Leche Crepes and some of the worst flooding from torrential rains in Buenos Aires before we met up with the rest of the U.S. DH team for the final leg of the journey out to the Tucuman. The race course came down a grazing, high desert, field outside the town of Tafi De Valle. It was somewhat similar to Napa Valley dirt (Excellent wines come from this region) and the...

The US Pro GRT's first stop was in Boulder City, NV at Bootleg Canyon. The infamous Brent Thompson trails are still going strong with the Race Course coming down Snakeback to Kavorkian and finishing with Diva. Dante and Jackie of Team Harmony have had an interesting off-season with a lot of work and not very much bike riding through the winter but now that the duo are both riding brand new Pivot Firebirds and Phoenixes, they are very excited to see what they can accomplish this race season. Reaper Madness is their first major race of the season...

Take a look into a day in the life of Dante and I (Jacqueline Harmony), Five Ten Athletes.  Wherever we are and whatever we do Five Ten shoes are always on our feet.  This is what our shoes experienced.

It has been a month now since my crash happened in Taxco Mexico during the Best Trick Competition at the Urban Downhill race. I came up short on a 35 foot double and landed, I think, straight on my shoulder. I separated my shoulder and was told that it is a Grade V separation and usually involves surgery. Right now my decision is to get full range of motion and get back on my bike rather than think about surgery. I have been doing physical therapy on it for a month, rode a pump track and hit...

Through my whole season of Downhill racing this year I have had some amazing ups and downs. I started off with a whole schedule of races with the backing of a great team. As the season went on things were changing and turning in the opposite direction. At one point I realized that I may not be able to finish out the season as I had planned out. However I was fortunate enough to have the greatest friends and family to step in and sponsor me for the rest of the season. I was...

The last stop on the Pro GRT landed at Northstar Mountain in Tahoe California. Northstar dirt is notorious for being dry and having tons of poof. The whole weekend was pretty quiet, due to the overlapping of quite a few races in different areas of the States, however all the best people showed up for this race and that is all that matters. There was one mishap this weekend and we are all wishing a speedy recovery to Junior Alex Willie, who was airlifted to Reno after a pretty bad crash on Saturday.Coming into this race...
