That's the new Specialized Hillbilly. It's offered up in DH and Grid casings and rips pretty damn good in a wide range of conditions. I highly recommend it. It's on their site too.
Sweet! Looks like a good tire for next autumn/winter.

this memo from the UCI indicates that helmet cams are NOT allowed on a rider's helmet (we've been told chestys and any body-mount camera is not allowed too) unless 3 specific conditions are met. the 1st condition requires a UCI waiver to be signed, but those waivers have not been available apparently even though this memo states the waiver is "enclosed." mounting the cameras on the bike is ok. seems the rule wasn't enforced too much on this first day of practice, but will be from here on out. we'll keep you updated if we learn more and if you learn more, post the info here.

The UCI would make an excellent Bond villain; they are evil to the core.

If you look closely after the huck landing you can see broken bits floating on the chain. This track is rough on bikes, lets see who can make their equipment last for a race run come Sunday.

getting a report that gee went down and may have a hand/wrist injury. unconfirmed about injury, but he did crash which is why he failed to finish.
