Black Diamond at Perfect North Slopes

Lawrenceburg, In

6-13-2010

Well, after months of preparation and speculation the Black Diamond XC went down on Sunday in Lawrenceburg, In. And what an awesome event it was! I was a little curious on why the name was chose as "Black Diamond XC" I've been skiing and I knew the Black Diamond was somewhere that I just needed to stay away from! But when you throw the XC in behind it that's a different story. That made me want to be there to see just how tough it could actually be. Here's what I found out about the term Black Diamond in the skiing world.

A ski slope with a black diamond rating is said to be one of the more difficult slopes relative to others around it. When considering ski run categories, the black diamond has traditionally been the most difficult, though in recent years a double black diamond designation has been implemented. No matter if it is a single or double black diamond, it will still be one of the more difficult trails at a particular resort.

Josh Creamer (#9) Takes the Overall WinBlountville, TN (June 20, 2010) - Josh Creamer took home his third overall win in a row aboard his Rockstar Makita Suzuki during round seven of the AMA Pro ATV MX Championship at Muddy Creek Raceway in Blountville, TN. Creamer may be on a winning streak, but his overall win today was not an easy feat. With second place finishes in each of the two motos, Creamer took the overall win, and moved him 20 points ahead of his teammate Dustin Wimmer in the chase for the championship.

"Today turned out really well for us," said Creamer. "This is our third win in a row, and we've extended our points lead ever further."

Team Rockstar Makita Suzuki started their weekend on a high note when current champion, Dustin Wimmer, earned the $100 ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier award. Going into today's event, many slated Wimmer as the man to beat, but he first had to overcome more of the hard luck that has slowed his charge for a third-straight ATV MX Title.

Chris Bithell got his first win of the year in North Carolina.Yadkinville, NC (May 8, 2010) - Chris Bithell claimed his first win in almost two years, and the first of the year for Can-Am, with an impressive and exciting come-from-behind performance at theMotorcycleUSA.com Yadkin Valley Stomp GNCC in Yadkinville, North Carolina - round six of the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series.

Despite the fact that most of the GNCC-regulars consider the Yadkinville course to be one of the toughest to pass on, Bithell was dead last at the start of the two-hour race, and still managed to pass the rest of the XC1 field, and most of the XC2 riders, en route to the victory.

Ballance Racing/Yamaha's Taylor Kiser appeared to be heading to his second win of the year nearing the end of the race, until Bithell came calling on the final lap, as the two riders diced back and forth for the lead.
