9 Ball Diaries to be played at the Mud and Blood Ball

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

We will be playing it in the bar after Zero Traction. Thanks to Don Hampton for hooking us up.

It stars U.S. Cyclocross National Champion Tim Johnson. Ride along with road racing’s golden boy, Tim Johnson, as he wraps up his day job and makes the transition to compete in his true love: Cyclocross. Follow Tim as he tackles the North American cyclocross circuit, kicking it all off under the lights in Las Vegas. Then watch as he battles through the rain and mud of the greuling USGP series, eventually claiming the National Championship title on a brutal, frozen course in Kansas City.

Four-time Emmy Award-winning sports documentary producer and director, Don Hampton and his crew from DH Productions captured all of the drama and triumph in pristine high definition.
