Brian Lee of Salt Lake City, UT took his second consecutive victory over John Rogers at the California Downhill Series Finale held Saturday at Bonelli Park. Matt Thiede finished third and Justin Tolman was fourth. Lee seems to have figured out something about the Bonelli course that is giving him some increased speed the past two races. However, even with two consecutive victories, it wasn't enough for Lee to beat Rogers in the Championship. Rogers clinched his second consecutive California Downhill Series Championship with Lee a close second and Justin Tolman in third.
In Classic Luge it was Riley Meehan earning the victory over Matt Thiede and Justin Tolman. The seven riders all rode together in three heats to determine the winner. Tolman's third place finish was enough for him to earn the Series Championship. Riley Meehan finished the Championship in second and Scott Peer was third.
Junior Street Luge and Classic Luge was all about Christian Conaway and Kyle Castenada. Both of these junior racers are on fire and getting faster with each race. Conaway took the victories and Series Championships in both classes but Castenada was always close and pushing hard. In one of the heats the IGSA officials had to revert to video tape to confirm that Conaway had earned victory by only about two inches! Look for these two to resume their battle next season.
The IGSA would like to thank Sector 9, Random X Boardshop and SilverfishLongboarding.com for all of their generous support of the 2006-2007 California Downhill Series.
