This is a pic of Kelly Baker, winding out his 39-13 at the FBM Belmar event this past weekend.  Kelly had 20 years on most of his competition and took on the monster jumps in style.  This photo tells a real story.  Look at how stoked everyone is and you can tell, just from this single frame, that Kelly is in full torque mode.  He told me he changed his gear the morning of the event.  That is the racer in him coming out.  Here's his recap (which he didn't intend for me to post--sorry KB) "I checked out the jumps and worked on them muddy friday nite and partied. a bunch of dudes came home and tented in our yard. sat mornin i put a 39 on the front. you had to pedal down the sidewalk and then down a bumpy alley. the jumps were monsters. they felt really good but you really had to pedal for them past random drunk people. i havent pedalled that hard since the 80's. lots of good riders wouldnt mess with them. some of the ams were awsome and some i dont know what they were thinkin. they would slip a pedal 3 times and still hit the jump , do a tailwhip right into the back side (*SCARY)." 

    Kelly's family was there, cheering him on.  I can't imagine how proud they were of him.  On an additional old guy sidenote, Brian Foster won the event, and he just turned 35!   Old dudes holding it down!  Photo used without permission by Vic Bettencort.  Thanks Vic.
