daymz Started a new thread Too many people in the world cup

8/16/2014 7:10pm
I just had a look at the startlist for the first World Cup and I feel that there's is too many people racing World Cup's these days and I think the UCI needs to tighten up the requirements to race. It could be just me but I think the World Cup should be for the elite of the sport only...

daymz Started a new thread You have got to be kidding me

I read this on the press release from the A-line race in Whistler: "A-Line is the benchmark all DH courses strive to emulate." Are they serious????

daymz Added a reply to Gwin vs. Hill

4/21/2016 10:21am
I personally think that Hill is an unknown at this stage. He's been behind Troy down here in Australia but maybe he has been able to regain focus and was just taking it easy for a while. He (Hill) has the passion, there's no doubting that, but has he been able to do all the hard work in the off-season...

daymz Added a reply to Social/Ethical Issues in Biking

3/15/2012 7:41pm
For a positive aspect I have previously been involved with a youth support program that used mountain biking as a positive "risk" (rather and a negative risk) as an outlet for social and personal development. This really means that you try and divert the negative activities of youth at risk (vandalism, fighting, absenteeism ) into a positive outlet and more...

Thanks all. We are always our toughest critics so I was probably a little hard on myself. I think my next challenge (tape up the preview screen and only use a 256MB card) is going to be very, very tough :-) Reubenshaul - that's cool. That 200mm will be tough. One suggestion, if you are at a race, instead of following the tape (bunting) when you walk up/down the track walk about 50 meters away for the whole length and see what you can get. Sniper shots are sometimes the best.

daymz Added a reply to Enough "World" In The World Cup Series?

1/14/2012 12:42pm
I have always though that there's too many people racing World Cups. DH1 had the right idea. If there were less teams/people but only the very, very best (like the ASP for surfing) then you could afford to travel around the world.

I think it would be way too expensive. If you think about the number off times you come off your bike and multiply that by the cost to "reset" the suit it would just cost a fortune. Just like a car this equipment would have to be professionally serviced everytime it was deployed. You can understand it for a jockey...

Dang... LOVE that track and the footage just makes it look so damn fast and steep. And my advice to Sven, just hit the little punks with your fist and they will leave you alone and learn to respect their elders.
