These videos are so valuable to the state of #USDH. Thank you everyone involved! My quick notes watching: - Commentator crew and production is dialed, and so hyped to have our dog Griz chopping it up in the booth. - Sweet 'fun facts' during race runs. So polished and pro. - I wish the track was longer, but damn, does it make for intense racing. - The UCI rule about fastest time of day juniors wearing elite sleeve is wack IMO. I'd like to still see national sleeves in each category at World Cups. - Anna is hauling this year...

Don’t do social media. Not worth any set of pedals.

awesome if that lineup happens, but i‘ve my doubts AG‘a gonna race

Meanwhile in the Specialized pits:

I'm all for gnarly XC trails. I see some cool steep sections but the man-made stuff is lame. It's not mountain biking to me. It's more interesting to have sections with different natural lines, part of the sport is to be creative and interpret the terrain not to be channeled into man-made features that are actually not that difficult. it's probably ridable by mot riders. I'd rather see a big line that only a few very best could ride and that might save 5 seconds every lap.. Here I'm not sure the tech differentiates the very best ( but it...

> And gotta give credit to what Lachy is doing. Not sure what happened to his VDS? Just off the pace or mechanical/crash? I think a mechanical in semi-finals - bent rear rotor. Did a pretty speedy run considering, only just missing the cut (32nd in semis).

Would have loved a Jess win, and not just because it would have been a heater for my fantasy. Sadly it sounds like seasons done. Not sure extent of injury. Maples hit that extra gear which would of course be a great result. And gotta give credit to what Lachy is doing. Not sure what happened to his VDS? Just off the pace or mechanical/crash?

Also here for Dak, can't wait until he puts it all together for the win! As a refresher of how far he's come, here's baby Dak from 2018 Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uAK-gybkC8 Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grAawCOzVzA

Flashback to Marshy with a caulking gun loaded w/ Liquid Nails (or something similar) to glue Greg's tires onto the rims a few years back...

The gaps in time tell you how slippery and tough the track was today haha Also the GOAT in 13th LFG!

Watching Ronan this season has been great, but I miss Jackson, hope he heals up and comes back at 100% next year.

To have it make sense at the WC level there would need to be more races. However I do like the idea and have thought of it often myself. The reason I like it is that it would encourage athletes to take better care of themselves particularly with head injuries. There is a groundswell towards this but let's face it, if you sit out a round you will be out of the overall. Our midweek enduro series does this as well and it's great for amateur athletes who have other stuff going in their lives.

It makes sense for local beer league where people have other commitments in life, but not for Pros. Consistency maters. What might be more interesting is if there was more money at stake for teams to collect points like the F1 Constructors Standings and cash paid out for better standings. Teams are two men, one women, one jr men, one jr women. Can't have a team like Specialized with just three men.
