Bradford and Brutsaert win the Super D

Aaron Bradford (Onsite Ultrasound) and Elke Brutsaert (Durango Devo) won the Super D national championships in Granby, Colorado. Both adopted the winnng strategy of getting to the front before the downhill portion of the Super D, where passing was nearly impossible. The course started with a very brief run uphill, and the rest was all downhill.

"It was hectic," said Bradford of the start. "The run, which took about 15 or 20 seconds, was wild. Everyone was shoving everyone. The bikes were so clumped together, people were running all over each other."

Bradford beat Mike West (Maverick) and Ross Schnell (Trek / Oakley / Crank Bros) to the line for his first national title. His best previous result was a second to Carl Decker (Giant) at the Sea Otter Super D earlier this year. Jon Wilson (Northstar / Giant) and Eric Carter (GT Bicycles) rounded out the podium.
