Round 8 of 10 in the 2025 season, Lenzerheide, Switzerland returns with an XC and DH weekend. We'll have Lawlor dropping a Vital RAW tomorrow, so stay tuned for that.

Weather looks nice and dry throughout the weekend. Race day for DH is on Saturday

I know a lot of people like to cr*p all over UCI, but I think changing to the Q1/Q2 thing and doing away with the Protected status have contributed to making this an incredibly exciting season. Now, if they (by they, I mean the broadcasters) would just consider streaming the Elite qualifying rounds and Youtubing the Junior finals next season ....
I'm really amped for this week's race and the last 2 races.
Is ‘following’ what I’m supposed to say here?
Clocking it!
Something does not seem right with that weather forecast?????

that first "rocksection" looks even more hilarious in real life than on screen. keen to see the first attempts.
Jackson’s new bike is sick. So glad Fox did force them to ruin it with orange fork.

late summer in switzerland, here in zurich it will go up to 28° again on saturday
totally normal for september.
on the other hand it could also be 5 degrees and snowing.
Jackson wasting no time, making light work of the course preview as per usual:
Fast course, big jumps, and good weather - gonna be a fun one!
Freeracing ain't dead! Yeah Theo!
Consider my timecard punched
Race kit drops on a weekly basis 🤦♂️
I spend half of the first Raw of the week trying to figure out who is who

Jackson at 1:27 in his preview: "How's this jump, eh? Let's see what we got for it."
Goes to a no-hander.
Lands the jump, resumes chatting.
Incredible.
From Jackson's preview, is this the narrowest section of track ever? I mean it's like 2 feet wide over a blind crest with the poles hidden behind one of those tough blocks. Seems like it is designed to get someone DQ'd. I don't think the two poles directly behind the block were there for trackwalk.
I was talking about the lack of rain... I thought that was mandatory at all WC's

Great way to kick off the day. Thanks, Spomer!
Nice good catch!
Dakotah Norton practice:
Asa wants to flip during qualifying 😮
that track looks so difficult and so rough on wheels/tires! are they (well dak at least) now gapping over the thread-the-needle rock? dak at 2:18
I just noticed that GoPro spelled Dakotah's name wrong on that video.☹️
Which letter's missing? Is it the one no one's sure how to pronounce anymore? 🤣
vital raw from today. showtime booters mid-track should be mandatory even if they mean nothing on race day.
to be fair, a no-hander is about the easiest trick this guy could do. He’s done flip whips and double backflips!
