Pheww.. I remember it was somewhere Dec 2008 when i brought my GF (now Fiancee) to watch Kiara Domination Downhill 2008. We went there for a quick visit, and i told her that one day i will join this extreme race.
However, I never thought that the day come so soon.hehee. Officially commit to join the tournament just a month before it started. For a newbie like me, Downhill tournament like Banshee Kiara Rage (BKR) is not a place to try test my skill especially when it comes to Kiara Trails which well-known with its natural challenging and difficult trail. Thanks to Rushdi a.k.a RUSH who forcing me to join; I must say that his pushy attitude indirectly pushing myself to my limit and i'm glad coz same like me this guy also very particular when come to time management. God! I really hate waiting!
Due to heavy work load (As i’m busy with SAP Proposal), preparation for my wedding and mishaps here and there. I don’t 100% prepared for BKR compare to RUSH. Yup! This mamat is lucky considering his house at TTDI and working nite shift means that he can ride everyday at Kiara after work. So with little knowledge and experienced on downhill, and a little motivation advice from Dr. Amin (primanora) I joined the race.
“Please avoid this, Self Limiting Thought! We should have a Go! Go! Go! Mindset ” Dr. Amin said. Then I decide to give myself a “Go!”
So i registered for the race on 24th July for Men Sport Category which have 40 riders registered for the category, RUSH was mad at me cos i don wan to do the final running for the race. Well i believe my body need a day rest before the race. Then after register, i went into the trail with uncle Danny to see the other rider had their final training run to familiarize with the trail, most of them is outside klang valley rider from Alor setar, Pasir Mah, JB and Borneos. Also groups of foreigner from Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Australia. Damn! and they're definitely fast man! now my adrenalin is drooling fak!

On the race day everything went well for the start, the wheather, the uplift, the bikes and the starting point was equipped with RFID transpoder feel like i'm in Olympic. Seeding stage for my category start at 11.00am quite late actually. Too bad i crashed during the seeding run, not a bad crash but i lost a lot of time due to that. Final run start in the afternoon, i crashed again in the final at the same spot but this time not as bad as seeding.
