bernard vlog from the US Open
Spelt with all capitals!!! Appropriate. MINNAAR
Issac attempted a back flip at the Snowshoe World Cup double header a couple years ago.
mclure bailey's US Open POV
Free racer class is a pretty sweet concept.
Vital RAW from US Open practice. Also, has the prize purse been mentioned? here's the breakdown. always rad what they pull off $$

2nd - $7500
3rd - $3750
4th - $1875
5th - $937.50
Not in finals right? The whole issue is the guys able to flip often aren't the guys making qualies. Well. Except for Rennie but I don't think he committed to throwing away a finals race with a flip necessarily. Need Spomer lore on this lol
any coverage, at all, of the DS?
The recent usdh trend of running slalolm on Friday mid day and doing a whipoff on Saturday evening when DS finals SHOULD be happening is so laaaaame.
i have a pic of rennie flipping in the dual race in durango in 2003 (will try to dig it up). not sure if it was in his race run, but i think it was. he wasn't going to win, so he flipped a spine-ish jump on track.
@mickey - there's one clip of slalom in the vital raw - a guy on a cargo bike. looked sparsely attended : (
Very interesting seeding. Is Shreddie Reynolds in the actual race class or did they mix freeracer seeding all together? Wanted some kaos v shreddie racing
bummed they didnt make it to finals to send it... nailed it so clean in praccy

world cup u23 XCO lake placid live webcast replay - women's and men's.
I’m putting my money on Richie for the win. Also rad to see how tight the women’s times are!
Stacked names across the board, and one of the best US Opens to date. I can’t wait to watch the replay from the Gravity Co-op
Ya this total field is so good I almost wish we set up a one off fantasy for it. Big names from all over.
So hungry for racing. I’m guessing they won’t be live streaming the open, but will put together a video after the race like normal?
Yep they’ll have a race replay. Stoked to see it!
YESSSSSSS LACHIE!!!!!!! FTW!!!!!!!
Lachie Stevens-Mcnab backs up his seeding result, taking home the win at the USO today! While Nina Hoffmann takes her THIRD US Open win in a row. Rad stuff #USDH
Full results can be found HERE
Some real tight times in womens. Easily the most competitive race I've seen in the US. Of course snow shoe was more stacked but the times were much more spread out.
Big congrats to Aletha Ostgaard and Dak for putting USA on the box for the home fans. The 3 peat was always going to be a really tall order.
Matt and Matthew Walker both have british flags
-Lachie took SIX POINT TWO SECONDS out of his qualifying time. Unreal. 🤯
-Four Americans in the top ten, in a stacked international field not seen at the USOpen since 09/10.
-Four WC winners in the top ten!
-Peaty made it into the final?!? Did someone decide not to race, and that bumped him up or what?
I know we’ll get more updates soon, but if anyone reading was there today, and has cool stories to tell, please give ‘em up! That’s why we’re all here, after all…
Tyler Waite’s got the stars and bars…
For the crap season Nina has had, that’s a hell of a redemption!
Looks like a bunch of missed flags in the full results. George Brannigan and Kye A'hern are now canadian. Wyn is british
Man what the heck was Lachy seeing on that track. We need a gopro from the man because he was riding in the matrix. Just on his own pace. Can't wait to see replay if we can get most of that run in.
This is pretty cool. Good footy capture and edit

Gwin in 9th. In this field, thats pretty serious business. Hope he's pumped with that.
Who got the hole shot? Was it Matt Walker?
