Urska (SLO) Urska is new XC racer, who can best be discribed as someone filled to the brim with strength and determination. Andy introduced me to Urska at the Maribor 2002 World Cup, and we hit it off quite well. This was her first year of "Professional" XC racing and this hot Slovenian rider ranked 4th overall out of 12 races. A couple of second place finishes gave her a good taste of the podium and next year she will kick some serious ass! The racing photos were taken by MARJAN TANCIK. Andy is helping her get a taste of DH racing and she is a girl who loves dirt! She is part of the Energija MTB team from Slovenia - just look for her flaming supernova bright red hair streaking past... Click on the image to view the complete and full size photo.

How can you not like that big smile and bright red hair! Urska at Maribor. 07/20/02	This year, Urska raced 12 Slovenian national cup XC races, not bad for a first year. 07/20/02	For those of you not familar with Slovenia, it is a beautiful country filled with big mountains! 07/20/02
Here you can see Urska's grit and determination. Go girl!! 07/20/02	A year of learning has given now given her some good experience to build on. 07/20/02	Of course Andy has helped her technical skills, and help to keep her from getting board. 07/20/02
See, big mountains don't always make for happy girls. If it wasn't difficult then it wouldn't mean much. 07/20/02	Ah, the joy of racing in the dirt. Do you get the feeling that Urska really likes the color red? 07/20/02	What would a XC race in Europe be without a ride through a vineyard. Wine for the after-race party! 07/20/02
