Jr. World Championships - SBX

Proud Dad & Mom
Pierce went to Italy as one of the Cdn. SBX team of 5 "men". We're thrilled to see he finished 12th and the top ranking Canadian. Three of his team mates were right behind at 14, 15 & 16th. Did we miss the wax? We still haven't heard from him...

Congrats to Pierce on a fine result. There's some fine vino in Italy and no drinking age. You'll probably hear from him in a week or so.

Congrates to the Canadians they did very well, I was predicting top 8 or 4, they were close. Very surprised the big Norwegian kid didn't win, thats boardercross.

Finally heard from the kid, here's the spin;
Heat #1; Pierce won this heat beating the #4 German qualifier (who qualified 1.6 sec. faster than Pierce).
Heat #2; Pierce was ½ a board length behind the American leader (the #5 qualifier) 45 sec. into the race and he fell… not provoked.
Ya, he was upset.

That's to bad but good for him that he came top 16. As long as its not a nasty Nate take out
