All eight outfits are crammed full of up-and-coming talent, while there are also established names such as five-time UCI Downhill...

No kidding. The boy dented the hell out of a FRONT wheel at the race first day of practice. We bent it back out and ran it for qualies then had to go with the spare on race day.

Downhill Rockies Pajarito New Mexico - rocky is an understatement!

Raw for Pajarito coming, right? Lots of USDH this past weekend. Stoked that vital is promoting it all!

Makes sense, plenty of cameras at the WC's too I suppose, so hats off for documenting the slightly smaller stuff that needs the attention!

At the race in Poland 4 americans I think who rode in the US jersey had the opportunity to race, and were given the opportunity to race the first 3 WC races and can petition for the rest, not counting the junior riders. Also add in the golden tickets into the mix and I think there is opportunity for riders not on factory teams to have a chance to compete and earn points.

So many young, fit, intense people’s faces showing the frustration of a run just off from perfect. 4. The depth of dialed in rider/bike combos was absurd. Especially in the women’s field. Bikes & riders were precise & on the edge while completely composed. 5. Simple, perfectly sculpted 90...

Top 20 Pro seeding results. Aletha's result backs up the way she looked on track compared to the other women. She was PINNED. And I swear everytime I saw Pinkterton go by, his rims were pinging the grossest rocks in the way, ha! see more - https://www.tnnational.com/results

vital raw is up

That was incredible racing! Great way to start the '25 season. Was up past 10pm watching with my 11yo daughter, glued to the a screen, whooping it up. Coverage was awesome. Commentary, well, as good as it gets! Unreal riding by everyone. That course was really cool.
