In addition to saying he 'lost fitness' at the DH races and didn't like how little he got to ride, Martin also mentioned that he felt enduro racing made him a better bike rider. I can see how for some the semi-blind, fully-pinned nature of EWS racing might actually translate into a...more

Added reply in a thread EWS Doping Thread Disappearance
I was speaking specifically to these individuals, not EWS as a whole. Jared has dealt with WADA before, as has Richie. They know the protocol and they understand the process. I think you're trying to prove a point here at the detriment to the conversation ... more »

Oh for the love of fuck, would it kill someone to post a shot of the women's results as well? They're racing the same track. They paid the same entry fee. Give 'em equal coverage and at least ATTEMPT to give a fuck.

NSMB was the first mountain bike related site I came across at 14 years old. It opened up a whole new world for me to look at as a kid growing up on the east coast of Canada with our limited trails at the time. Although my visits to NSMB slowed for a while, I find their articles...more
Added a comment about video WARP SPEED! Pro GRT Angel Fire with Wentz
It was the lower half of Upper Supreme (we started at the drop off of Moe's Road) to Fo Sho to Middle Supreme, then through a new section of trail they cut and shaped to shoot us out onto World Cup road, where we jumped in after the sketchy corner. It was the best national race course in a long, long time and hopefully, USAC decides to suck less going forward and enable athletes and media partners to grow US DH.

Why is this the only pro grt coverage of the weekend? Didn't Spomer do an entire podcast series where everyone told him that US downhill races are in dire need of more coverage?

Totally dig the podcast, the super in depth test session reviews, and interviews like this one. Glad Vital is publishing long form content. Vital is really upping their game compared to other mtb media

Hot damn, look at that pro field! Even the women have 10... Must have been a kickass track. It's great to see Vital supporting and covering this event so heavily. Well done!

I wasn't meaning the field was a full EWS race. My point was to highlight the endurance top-level pro DH riders have. Folks seem to think DH is all jumps and tech. The top guys can put down some mileage at a serious pace when needed as well!
