Jrp Liked a reply to forum topic EWS Doping Thread Disappearance

6/26/2019 6:09am

So what the hell is a rider meant to do if they get hurt at EWS this weekend? What if they are in a really bad way and need urgent help, are they responsible for getting a TUE, submitted and approved before being given the help the could be considered life threatening? Are they meant to be considered coherent enough at all times to scroll through the list of banned substances to double check a doctors work at the time of injury and probably intense pain? Absolutely mind blowing stupidity on the UCIs part

What a pile of BS! Failed first round antibiotics, pus coming out of the wound, treated as indicated for the second round, and he gets a suspension for it. Not all that surprising from UCI, its not like its a road event in Europe or anything. EWS says sorry, out of our hands?!? Cmon guys, you're not looking good right...

That was one of the most exciting WCDH races I've watched in a long while. Gwin's wipeout was wild. Run after very exciting run and Peirron's run was NUTS. You could tell he was really on the hairy edge, full mach chicken, and then almost looses it right across the finish line!?! That was awesome. Rob Warner was in good form on the mic today too, keeping the excitement up.

I have a few pairs of Shimano 737's around. Some have been ridden thousands of miles and still function perfectly despite being smashed and having deep gouges all over them. Shimano at its best.

Exactly, I’d be willing to bet most of us watched the clip to make sure Aaron’s foot was still attached, not to hate on e13.

thanks for chiming in, aaron. it's crazy this whole ordeal turned into such chaos and wasted time. i woke up this morning to a billion texts and emails about all the drama. when the vid was posted yesterday, i didn't know it was a "leaked" video. i also chalked it up to "world cup riders are gnarly. they do gnarly things. they break stuff," and figured that the rest of the mtb community had the same reasonable way of thinking. i knew some people may comment on the crank break, but the newsworthiness of the video was that you hurt...

I shoulda been more descriptive and explained things better in that initial comment so that I'm not having to go back and clarify now. I answered a lot of these same accusations in the other responses I made on that same Instagram post but I'll give ya guys the goods too. I was just frustrated honestly. I had just got a message from the guys at Mountain creek who took the video respectfully telling me that they weren't going to send the video around, which was kind of them. One of the guys had sent it to someone else and...

Huge respect, Aaron, way to rise above and be professional. Thank you for responding and clarifying things.

Damn. I really hope he has not mangled his ankle as that can be a terrible injury that can be very difficult to recover from. A broken crank arm in this day and age? That is a pretty sad display of quality from his crank manufacturer.

Awesome to see some legit DH going on in the USA! It is great to see the stoke among a new generation of downhillers. It takes another level of commitment to race DH these days with all the fun and convenient enduro races around. It was thick and serious back in the day in the USA. Vermont NORBA National? No joke. 2200 vert, 5-6min times, a burly track among the great classics of DH. Have fun out there!

3 reasons. 1. because 97.5 is a radio station. B. "reverse mullet" is breaking our community apart and we need to come together. III. beavis and butthead would laugh at 69er. if we need to go to court over it, our lawyers said that the "6" could come from "650b" and we'd probably have the case thrown out.

I am very curious to see how this goes for Sam. The Nukeproof Mega is a tank of a bike.

3/27/2019 9:43pm

Of course there is marketing spin from both sides. Wavecell is focusing on rotational acceleration and Koroyd is focusing on linear acceleration, both in the context of what causes concussion and brain injury. Which one is most important? Based on what both parties are saying, it appears that that is quite debateable at this point in time, as our knowledge...
