New Dual Slalom Course - Yay or Nay? Dual Slalom has been kind of controversial with its new location and minimal effort put into the course. Instead of the traditional combo of groomed, deep bowl corners and rhythm lanes mixed with some natural turns, this year is 100% natural, grass turns without a jump or berm in sight. The location, off the DH shuttle road, prohibited any digging due to utility and infrastructure elements underground apparently. Does it feel like a "pro" race? Not really. Is the racing going to be good? Definitely. Today's pro qualifying was exciting and fast...

my favorite Brage vid of all time is his Hardline run... the rock drop into the berm is so absolutely insane. all in cords and a t-shirt...

Let's add this one in for some real nostalgia. #longlivechainsaw

Rumor is, still only one size of these exist at the moment but here’s more of the DH bikes floating around outside the WC team so that’s always exciting to see!

Canyon makes a mountain bike helmet now, but it's not just another me-too product. New safety tech puts them #1 in Virginia Tech's rankings, while a funky chin strap arrangement is sure to raise some eyebrows: https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/canyon-debuts-five-star-rat….
