I am. And thank you! So happy to bring it home. Wish I could tell you all I know, but that would ruin your fun!

Haha Upper supreme to upper boogie to graveyard to pinball. My hands and arms hurt just thinking about that lap. Made it look easy too.

9/23/2022 10:17am Yeah... I mean the following year. Not next year.

9/20/2022 11:24am He's currently getting GT support and has a good relationship with the team from what I can gather. Pinkerton has done well with GT, and I could see Asa going abroad with them next year on a factory ride when Pinkerton ages up to Pro Men's from Juniors. GT (and Coach) do a great job of being present at a...

Looks like a SoCal vacation is on the books now with that payout Dak!

9/14/2022 9:07am You might listen to the first 5 or so episodes of Matt Macduff's podcast. It's basically interviewing a ton of action sports athletes on how they've come back from injury (both mentally and physically). One thing that's helped me is to do some confidence-inspiring riding for a while. Bike park flow/jump trail laps that just inspire confidence and make you...
hogfly Added a reply to Dirt jumper vs BMX
9/10/2022 7:40am Sounds like your decision is already made. My kid switches pretty effortlessly between all his bikes, but as an old man, I find the DJ MUCH easier to ride than a BMX. That being said, my kid has now pretty much settled on his BMX for all his park, street and dirt jump riding. And yes, it will make you...

8/17/2022 3:04pm That whole podcast with Martin is amazing. Super impressive person. He definitely made me feel more hopeful about the future of MTB with eso/disco than I have up to this point.

8/11/2022 12:36pm So did Remi! (and he promptly destroyed everyone in a local enduro race in Eureka Springs).

8/9/2022 2:37pm Podium is pretty much my biggest complaint. Have a freaking reasonable cutoff time (for enduro) that allows you to host podium at an appropriate time. If people don't turn in their chips by cutoff time, tough shit. I've seen way too many people sleep in and start the race late because they know they can take as long as they...
hogfly Added a reply to What happened to neck braces in DH?
8/9/2022 12:07pm Yes. They basically have to use marshalls to make sure that the World Cup DH guys are actually wearing the padding that the rules mandate, from what I understand. I've heard talk of racers taking the padding out of their pads and such to reduce the distraction. Edit: It's also possible I"m conflating something that I KNOW happens in American...

8/8/2022 1:05pm Leatherwood doesn't have enough elevation, really. The main rumors of actual DH tracks have centered on Mt. Magazine which has a similar prominence to Angelfire. There was a lot of talk about a chairlift going in there, but that seems to have fizzled. Rumor is that it was because the infrastructure didn't exist to support that much traffic. The latest...

8/8/2022 10:07am Yeah. We've had a Pro Cup. It was cool when I was at US Nationals this year and people were all saying at the base, "I wish they had big jumbo viewing screens set up like they did in Fayetteville." We actually do have the elevation for a DH track in the region, (something similar to Windrock) just not near...

8/8/2022 9:43am File this one under "wild rumors" but.... My city's "Cycling Coordinator" recently flew to the MSA world cup to "scout out the possibility of bringing an event here" Now, I haven't spoken with him. I only saw that he was there on his Instagram and talked to someone else I know who works for the city and is into biking...

8/1/2022 9:00am He was on the vital post-race podcast, and evidently he's been pretty focused on Moto this year, as he's skipping the MSA race to go to Lorettas. He did say that the Snowshoe race confirmed to him that Mountain BIking is where his heart is, and he plans on racing a full season next year.

8/1/2022 8:58am Not a rumor, but I'm curious if anyone has heard anything about Charlie Harrison's injury from Nats? He's been silent on the socials. Pretty worried about him and feel so bad that he's injured again on his first return race.

7/28/2022 10:14am One problem (and maybe this is an American one mainly) is that it seems to take a while for Americans to get up to speed on the WC tracks in Europe. Most Americans go over, and it takes them a few years to really get their bearings and start honestly competing. Maybe they could fix this by developing more of...
hogfly Added a reply to Unifying the USDH vision and working with USAC - Outlaw's proposal
7/27/2022 12:48pm Seems like there's an opportunity here with Redbull now being freed up from contracts with UCI. I've heard a lot of people say you need USAC for event insurance and such, but you all throw your events just fine without that, right? The main issue is in just getting the UCI points so racers have a chance of racing world...
