This father and son team came all the way from Puerto Rico:

Looking good dad!

Happy 13th birthday L.D.

Dad was looking good but you beat him by 20 seconds! Good job L.D.!

Then there were these 2 locals that have been battling it out all summer. These guys always have close races. We’ll see after the series finals which one is faster. Michael won this one by a few seconds, but there are still 2 more mini downhill races to go.
