If you watched any of the raw footage you saw that it was too much track for some of the junior women. I don't mean this as an insult, it's too much track for me. Anyhow, I think it's a way to get folks up to that level without killing them on those tracks. My thoughts.

I'd love to thrash on one of those, but I can't imagine it holding up to the rigors of MTB and the repair costs would quickly make it unimaginable expensive! Plus when I destroy the battery on the trail I have to then pedal a 50 pound bike out...yikes!!!

Added a comment about video Riding Captain Ahab - Moab's Newest Trail
I'm loving this sweet new trail! Tyson's lead and vision made this a mountain biker's dream trail. There are more to come and people are flocking to Moab to explore the new as well and enjoy the old. There's plenty of opportunity for all outdoor enthusiasts that come to Moab. See you on the trails!!!

Aside from the subjective matter of whether or not Gwin "did the right thing" here, from a legal point of view, a Letter of Intent is just that - a letter that describes intent. Clearly, Gwin intended to sign with TWR as stated in the Aug 13 release, but for...more

The team has a history of helping riders win who had not previously won, including Aaron Gwin. Aside from have not signed a contract this statement seems a little specious at best. Aaron Gwin was winning the minute Yeti signed him and never looked back. True...more

Added a comment about news blog Brian Lopes Wins the First 2012 World Cup XC Eliminator
I acknowledge the points made in earlier comments but I must say that the only time anyone came close to Lopes was when his foot slipped off the pedal early! I think you could have made the uphills 30 feet wide and nobody could have contended with Brian in that race...
