2024 Southridge Winter Series, Race #5, DH Practice

It is not unusual to associate certain types of music, even specific songs with particular events and instances in our lives. When the downhillers come. bombing down the mountain side, seemingly devoid of sanity, daring...

fates and broken bones, it all seems like...

metal music, heavy metal music, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Krokus, Dunsmuir, Metallica, Black Sabbath (I know, that list dates me, but you get the idea):

"New blood joins this Earth

And quickly he's subdued

Through constant pain disgrace

The young boy learns their rules...

With time the child draws in

This whipping boy done wrong

Deprived of all his thoughts

The young man struggles on and on he's known

A vow unto his own

That never from this day

Never shined through what I've shown...

Never be

Never see

Won't see what might have been...

What I've felt

What I've known

Never shined through what I've shown...

Never free

Never me

So I dub the unforgiven..."

(Nelson, Pinson, Boone)
