DH racing is better than ever- and statistically US downhill racers are better than ever, there are just less of them. DH is just harder than it has ever been, and it costs twice as much as it did 15-20 years ago, when day-job wages were essentially the same as they are now, but far, far more young people had decent jobs, way less college debt and affordable health insurance. MTB racing was on cable and satellite TV, so it was much easier to sell to outside sponsors too. Now the top-level of racing being televised and controlled by a...

Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee have been smoldering off-season habitats for in-the-know gravity pilots for many years. An impressive list of homegrown talent and speedy transplants from...
Nico Voilloz is clearly the GOAT. No comparison. Total and complete domination. Peat has won more races, but he's also raced for twice as long. No one has come close to what Nico did.

Why? Because nobody is trying to promote one! World Cup races don't just happen- there needs to be a well funded and dedicated local organizing committee and significant six-figure capital investment to make a World Cup work. There are people and organisations in the Windham region who are willing to lay down significant sums of personal cash with little or no financial return because they love bike racing and want to promote their region to the world.

Griz(and other passionate loudmouths)- If you want to keep getting stoked on revolution, do, because this is one of those formative moments where we can all make a difference. Holla at yer boys, get 'em on board, tell the media, roll, roll, roll, roll. Because it's like this- there is going to be a HUGE power vacuum when USAC cleans house. Very big- A voluntary free and open riders organisation that can speak for off-road athletes and organizers can and will be able to make a big difference over the next couple of years. It's really time for as many...

When the media finishes unraveling the whole Armstrong ball of yarn it's final terminus will be at USAC. Expect to hear about USAC in the main-stream media in about 4 weeks, lots of people are going to be outraged. The money behind that place is filthy, and the dude who ultimately holds the strings to the purse there is the guy who co-owned the postal service team and is credited in a sworn affidavits as the genus behind the USPS program as well as deliberately destroying the NCS series and then NORBA. There are people in the racing world and...

FACT: Adam and Dawn regularly won pro DH races in New England in the 90's. Adam moonlighted as a DH racer then for the money. Fucking PRO.

Pro photoghaphers are pretty much required to camp out at the finish line for finals. Sad but true.
