You had a blow out on the downhill race?
I think Henry had the single worst year of luck when it came to equipment failures. Maybe 13 is your unlucky number. Here's to a flat-free better luck 2014 for Dimmick!!!!

My lucky number has always been "8". One year, I finished 8th, eight times during the season. For 2013, I will have to add up all my (mechanicals) to see if they total "8"...?
