Fionn Griffiths Wins Jeep 48 Straight Final
Congratulations Fionn on a great race and a fantastic Season. In addition to her World Cup placing of 6th in DH and 4th in 4X Fionn has won the Jeep 48 Straight final.
Norco Factory Team rider Fionn Griffiths, a three-time World Cup winner who has never missed a Jeep race during the event's six year history, was dominant throughout the day, beginning with a win over Folsom, Calif.'s Joanna Peterson and a subsequent stunner over season points leader and National Champion Kathy Pruitt of Santa Cruz, Calif., to reach the finals. Griffiths pulled out the victory over Buhl to earn the individual event title. Pruitt topped Myklak in the consolation heat to earn third place.

Heard Saying:
"When I look down, I miss all the good stuff. When I look up, I just trip over things"
What Pumps you up?
A good night of partying with great tunes, mainly house and trance.
What makes you mad?
Injuries, or anything else that stops me from riding my bike. I also hate it when people lie! If people respect you, then there should be no problem with telling the truth!
What do you do to relax?
I take off somewhere quiet, normally at the top of a mountain or by a waterfall somewhere, and just enjoy the natural beauty of the world.
What makes you smile?
Sunrise, sunset and the people who are close to me.
What do you enjoy most about riding for Norco?
I enjoy the amount of involvement everyone in the company has in the sport. Even the top guys in the company enjoying taking the weekends off and rippin' it up.
Anything Else?
I really just want to thank everyone for supporting me. My parents have been there through everything. Jill, I wouldn't be where I am this season without you. Also a big thanks to my main sponsors; Norco, Azonic and Zeal Optics.
