Crankworx downhill is live now in MSA. Heard nothing about it till now and the entry list is dire.

Are budgets that tight that a few world cup teams wouldnt send entries considering lots of riders talk about how much they love MSA. Seasons nearly over , most don't have anything to race for.

Is crankworx dead?

Timing. If it was the weekend before Whistler you might see more euros stop on the way over. Southern hemisphere racers have gone home during the break and the western North American racers don’t want to do more travel. It’s almost quicker to get London from Vancouver than it is to get MSA

Red Bull Cerro Abajo Stuttgart is on this weekend, there's A THREAD with all the info and course preview and where the link to the live tomorrow will be up etc (also super rad seeing the women unlock more and more of the features, maybe a full pull about to go down, which as far as we can recall would be a first).

If you haven’t listened to the downtime with Shawn, it’s really great. I’m very impressed with the entrepreneurial mindset that they’re approaching the series (in some ways it’s a test case for the true potential money maker of their app and race coverage). 

Hope that collegeiate schedule coordinates a little better with them next year, as the Durango MSC race was the same date as the opening collegiate races at powderhorn, forcing a lot of gravity kids to choose between the two.

At our series finale, the Pro Men class was a rematch between Lucas DeDora, Austin Dooley and Nik Nestoroff after they went 1-2-3 at the last race at Grand Targhee. DeDora came out on top with a 3:08.161, 1.396 seconds ahead of Dooley, and Nestoroff's third place sealed the Pro Men series title: 182 points across four rounds. Pro Women went to Teagan Heap in 3:48.389, her first win of the season after second at Targhee, 4.444 ahead of Ainsley Wolf with Abby Ronca third.

Asa with a nice reminder of how dumb the borderline skin suit looks these days.
