Dear @jimmypop this is bikes. Not bikes and long rants about politics. Find another site for that

@therealaustindooley two words Dual Citizenship. Uzbekistan is always looking for some talent. They'll have you married, knighted, and fresh Da Bomb Bunker Buster 275 carbon custom (is there really any other kind of Da Bomb?) by week's end. Fly that azure, white and green flag proudly.

Peaty was 9 times a top 5 worlds rider and 5 times a medalist-so I'd say Peaty's track record as a world championship caliber rider was very well aligned for a win.

The hoops some people will jump thru to be pessimistic negative and just generally shitty. How does Ben Shapiro being on Aaron’s tv have anything to do with this and how is that a way to judge a man’s full political beliefs. I voted for Bernie sanders twice and there are some things I’d agree with Shapiro over sanders on. Why does every single tiny controversy turn into some crazy conspiracy that the “ evil greedy gwin” is the center of. When every single interview the guy has ever done points to a modest guy who praises hard work and...

You know it goes out here on the internet man. Every one smashing their keyboards forgetting that people make mistakes. For every jackass in a forum thread there’s 100 people that support you no matter what. ‘Merica.

So the big takeaway here is that USAC is still entirely incompetent as an organization and do a terrible job all around (especially when it comes to DH)

Usac also totally miffed the olympics with woodruff just this season. Seems like a bunch of amateurs. I still don’t get the gwin haters. Y’all need to find something better to do with your time then hate on the guy who brought America back competitive on the world stage and is just a generally nice dude with good values. He belongs at world champs, he’s one of a few who can podium and the only one with a win at the world stage. Unsure if he’ll be on it this time but I have little doubts there are more podiums...

Hey guys, bummer to see all the hate from a few of you but I guess that’s passionate fans in sporting. Here’s the reality. From my understanding and recent reading of the rules, There is not a rule that says you must petition. A petition just assures that you are considered. The rules basically say that USA cycling will pick, at their discretion, everyone who is not an automatic selection (national champ or top 3 in previous world champs). After that the rules just say that they will basically pick whoever is in the top 50 of the current WC...

Wait, did he just claim fake news from the USAC media team?

I feel like there is a more obvious explanation that is being overlooked. The folks at USAC are obviously big fans of The Inside Line podcast and after listening to the last few #USDH episodes, they were convinced by austinhk's argument that AG is washed up and it's time to move on.

Gwin isn't the best US downhill racer ever? Lopes is better? Dak is better? WTF are you talking about? Gwin is the second winningest male WC downhill racer in the world. Right behind Minnaar. When Minnaar was working for me he said that Gwin completely changed the sport. Minnaar was bummed because before Gwin the world cup was a week long party. Gwin trained harder than everyone and until is string of injuries he was winning 30% of the world cups he entered. I would rather hang with Dak or pretty much anyone else on the US team but I...

Through all of this I'm left wondering why their was a course change between final practice and the race. Sure, they told the athletes the bridge would be removed but why not let them have a practice lap without the bridge? And it isn't a big 'course change' or re-routing but it's still different to what they practiced on. In the heat of the race you may be riding more on adrenaline than actual brain power and just forget that the bridge wouldn't be there. It looks steep enough that it would have been easy to miss until you were...

Crazy to see vital mtb poppin. Love it.

Locking up a rear wheel most likely had nothing to do with being an emtb. It has to do with locking up the rear brake over steep drops. But you jumped on the fact they were simply riding emtb's. We've all locked up the brake on occassion. Sometimes by accident. Even you once or twice I bet. People like you are exactly what the sport needs. You give a shit about the sport and literally help build trails. I apologize for making assumptions...my bad. But emtbs are not the devil. They may be a savior for this sport and open...
