mickey Added a new Blog Post Downhill Southeast Series Q&A with Neko Mullaly

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...

And you can only completely miss the meager, inconsequential point of my post if you're a moron named Scott Townes.

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.

There were 65 entrants. It's funny... the entire event ran SO MUCH BETTER last year when there were 2 officials(one of whom had never been to a mtb race before) versus the 8 I've counted so far this weekend. I had to go over to my condo to dig up the rule book during amateur DS qualies on Friday because none of the officials had a freaking clue what to do if a rider missed a gate on one of their qualifying runs. The officials didn't "have" a rule book available to consult so they were just going to DQ...

I've been building and racing 650b xc bikes for 5 years now. 29'rs suck, as we all know, but 650b stuff get's a little bit better roll over and little bit better cornering over a 26" wheel that definitely helps you have more fun. As soon as I can buy a DH casing 650b tire I'll have one wedged into my Dorado in a heartbeat. Y'alls gonna be OK with 650b stuff. It's fun and fast and doesn't require a freak bike. Nothing to dislike really...
