US Open in Durango? 😀 Purgatory needs to start getting ready for World Champs, they are supposed to host some big events in the next few years.

Asa because he is used to traveling far distances.

DH is a hard sport to watch because it’s too fast and subtle for the average viewer to get it all visually and the background is so much more complicated and distracting than F1 or moto or ski races, which are on neat clear tracks and it’s generally obvious when something happens. Been said a million times but it’s the announcing and cameras that are ruining the show. And I’m not picking on Ric because Rob and Claudio weren’t much better. Eliot Jackson was great. Neko and Gwin can be great when they aren’t being constantly interrupted. I’m a longtime...

My predictions for 26: 1. More bike shop closures. I think it's inevitable at this point. We're seeing a large number of shops closing on the powersports end. Dealers who've been in business for 50+ years too. If not closing they're getting gobbled up by larger chain ops.They're citing a number of factors and one of the bigger (if not biggest) is falling consumer confidence. I think decades of stagnant wages compared to inflation really hits hard at what was the middleclass. The opportunity is there for growth of service based retailers, but for large swaths that will be a...

Maylei's had a good season in the Monster Energy Pro DH series, finishing 5th place or better at all 4 previous races. She finished 4th at US National Champs behind Skelton, Ostgaard and Melton. I'd like to see Alden get a solid result tomorrow. I read that he's 6'6" but I swear the guy is 6'9" if he's an inch!

She is from Colorado, enough said. 🙂

Yo, also on the trail crew. Not really down to get into the mud with all of the environmental permitting stuff which is really above my dirt-shaping pay grade, but misinformation about the crew test riding our own course build is where I draw the line. We rode it last week on trail bikes and will be riding more this week. T>B

Vital RAW - Downhill Rockies Keystone

Vital RAW in not rainy, perfect summer conditions for a weekend of #USDH from the Downhill Rockies series in Telluride.

If anyone is thinking at all of going, you should. You will have an amazing time and transportation is so easy in Korea. You'll show up at the airport, get to Seoul, and then take a high speed train to the venue with ease. And the locals will be STOKED. The food is out of this world. Going to Korea is the best kind of culture shock too.

As the parent of a kid who is looking to head down that path from way outside of Europe , I don’t necessarily feel no juniors would be a bad thing. I would be pretty happy for him to have a few more years of life and education up his sleeve before needing to move to the other side of the world to chase that dream. It would take the pressure of kids, especially non euro kids to “ make it” on the world scene at 17 or have to give up and head home.
