Pat's out time is 9:58 AM. #45 in your program. Weather is drizzle rain, but looks to clear by the afternoon. About 50 degrees. Course looks to be very technical. Mountain sections, forest sections, river sections and beach sections.

I don't have to tell you, the Junior class is stacked with talented riders. With that.... Go Pat Go!

Good luck Pat.

Man-made stadium section one went smooth. Sections 2,3,4 were brutal river runs. All riders are struggling. Pat got frustrated at section 3. But so did everyone else. One Spanish rider finished the section yelling, "Puta!" (Look it up your self. I don't like using that word.)

Anyone (Mr. Ant) wanting updates on their favorite rider , let me know. I'll see what I can do for you.

Gomez rode in with a 30 point loop.

Killer save by James Dabill on #15, first loop.

Loop two is done for Pat. 96 dabs. Oh well. Better luck tomorrow. I'm turning the show over to Jake and Andy now. I'm just the Cub reporter. They're the pros at this, you know.

Can't even remember Patrick finishing 12th. Ever. Oh, boy. Not good. Not good at all.

Great updates, thanks!

ps. If I were AIG and had a dollar for every time I heard that word (and various others) when I checked World Rounds, I would not have needed a bailout.....

There are some good riders in there mate and it is just the first day after all.

How were the sections for him compared to what he would ride in the US?

Well done to Jono Richardson for his world round win in the youth

Does anyone know why he didn't ride youth again this year?

I thought youth went up to 21 y.o.?

Good point! Don't know why he didn't - Craig ???

Once 18, you move up to Juniors. Not 21.
