 A ponytail is open ended, nothing will get caught in it.

A braid is 20 loops of strong hair waiting for something to catch and twist your neck.

I don't appreciate you trying to rewrite my words to act as a defender of women. I never attacked anyone, so don't attack me.

Dakota Nortons hair is longer. I think a new UCI rule should be put into place where all athletes have to wear a swimming cap with their hair tucked into it. The sport is dangerous enough.

No because I suffer from male pattern baldness and I’m only 5 years old. Thanks for bringing it up. Edit: okay I’m sorry, I’ll stop.

Let's see, amateur DH gamer guy at keyboard says pro DH bicycle gal at Hardline is doing it wrong. While both are courageous, only one of them has relevant and meaningful content.

There was literally a dude riding practice with a hoodie wrapped around his shoulders but you didn't feel the need to comment on that one?

Not trying to change your mind here, just pointing it out for anyone else reading 👍

It's a good thing we've got Safety Steve over here to point out the potential safety risks of the hair they've had and been riding with their entire lives... Do you go up to random women when you're riding and point out the dangers of their braided hair? Sheesh.

Which is more aero?

Could you add a little weight to the inside of your dreads to act as a Tuned Cranial Mass Damper? It'll help vision, for sure!

Man I'm used to watching world cups at 2am and trying not to wake the kids while troy drops in.

2pm local time for Hardline. I'm getting a carton of beer, a big ass bag of doritos and YELLING AS LOUD AS I WANT!! 

Leave me alone kids.

Noooo I hope he’s okay. In other news, they’re replaying the course preview from days ago.

That was brutal, hopefully nothing broken, this course is not forgiving at all.

I read somewhere that for the women winner to get prize money they had to be three to start in the final.

If that's true, can someone explain what kind of shit rule that is?

What a race! 

Man that was a close final. 

Asa's few tiny mistakes at the top were probably the race right there

That was great. 10/10

It sounds like no one's seriously hurt.

Jackson and Asa are next level.

Connor is still on it. 

When Gracy starts to put it together regularly, the women's racers better watch out. 🤟🤟

I think Wales is a bit wild, but the Tasmania course feels like a world Cup course turned up a notch or two and it seems like it's do-able to make more courses like this one pretty much anywhere.
