Of the three, I think he hit that steep section the best.

You cracked a bottlerocket? Didn't realize that was possible.

this is pretty great to see! I'm completely clueless about this so wishing there was some sort of commentary. Where's Claudio and Rob???

I'm a fan of Gwin, but man, can't he say something good or supportive about his teammate having a good result?

I mean, obviously, its not a super scientific test, but the common response in forums is to just lose that kg/lg of weight off your body instead. I'd be willing to bet that the single lb/kg off the bike will have more effect than a single lb/kg off your body. That said, in terms of percentages, losing it on your is going to be much better. Generally speaking, I associate losing that weight with also being more fit. So in effect, you're losing the weight, but also increasing your ability to do work. Put them together and you're off to the races.

For me, I went carbon this year. Gonna have to focus on my ability to do work these winter months.

what does the long shock do?

Why not spend a bit of time prepping the landing? I think he would've landed that very first one if his front wheel could've rolled through it. Looked like it got hung up on dirt.

What did you tape your frame up with in the picture of the head tube badge?
