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.

Mountain States Cup vibes

So cool to see! One of these days I need to get back on a DH rig and see some old friends.

As a Brit who is used to riding muddy trails in the trees, Bootleg Canyon was a complete shock when I rode there. It's basically the exact opposite conditions.
