Mash Premiere hit baltimore on Dec 8th and a goood crew from NYC showed up.
me victor and dan took an early chinatown bus to baltimore to preride the course, and it
proved to be a smart choice as you will see in a minute.
4 checkpoints and the finish, about 15 miles of racing thru bmores friendly neighborhoods was the
objective. while pre-riding, i incountered a drunk mexican he stumbled infront of he and got wat was coming
to him. “sorry paisano, get the fuck out of my way !”. anyways race started at night (i dont know what the deal is with bmore and night races?). its bad enough to be racing in bmore but at night its even worse. we got the blue light warning, and that got a couple of us a little nervous. basically, if you see a flashing blue light - RUN ! hahaha. so the race started. as usually i quickly got dropped but regained to catch up to the lead group by the 1st CP. going up broadway i quickly caught up to austin dan yatika and the lead bmore crew. nearing the second CP, austin and dan took off. i was riding with yatika and a couple of locals. heading to the reservour, me and a local separated away from the second pack about a good 1/2 block. entering the reservour i over shot it and was caught by the second group. getting to the mall (checkpoint C) our group caught austin and dan cause they could not locate the CP. i was glad i dat i was back with the lead pack, because i had $500 in mind. that was short lived. leaving the mall i could not hope a curve to get to the street and stay with the pack, because of cars entering the mall. pack developed a 2 block lead on me and some of em i would not see towards the end. riding down one of the most scariest st. ive ever been on at night, just motivated me more not to look back and pedal my ass off. going down Carey i needed to catch 5 guys, well 4 cuz alex (frm bmore) came out of nowhere and stood with me to CP - D. being a friendly guy and not trying to mislead him, he was sort of confused where he was going so i pointed him to the right direction. as we were entering CP -D dan yatika and willis(philly) were leavin da CP. iknw i had to have a strong finish to catch em. took pratt the rest of the way and alex had a 1/2 block lead i couldnt regain. along the way, we ran into yatika he followed alex to the finish.
it was a awesome race as always. b more always puts on a good show. after party was awesome, with ramps, BMX, music and mash movie. tricks were awesome. red bull pushed out some cash for pppl to do insane shit. BMX dudes were jumping the stage, doing 180, 360 and bar spins. austin and willis held it down on the track end by jumping 4 foot gap and a 7.5 foot gap(austin).I always have a good time when i go down there.
