I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and wanting to add to the pot for the Shorts Bounty. So rad!! But for now we are just going to keep it to the $250 we will put up. However, since we started doing the Burgtec Labour of Love award this year with the podcast, many have chimed in wanting to donate additional funds. I'd rather people help out with that award because it goes to riders who are often up-and-coming and need the money most to continue chasing the dream. So with that said, I'll look into options for next season for people to...

Altenative solution then : the winner can ride in pants, but needs to have his legs's picture printed 360 degrees from the knee so it looks like shorts ? All the looks while having the protection and compliance with the rules. Just throwing ideas out there.

latest dialed.

It really is amazing how narcissistic Euro DH racers are. They train all winter long to be the fittest nerds on 2 wheels & on the weekend it comes down to being the fittest, they whine. For crying out loud, I've sprinted that whole mountain on a muddy weekend with a fresh course & passed bike design company owners walking in their race runs. There are so FEW mountains on this planet that want to host a seething mass of downhill riders. Pits taking up space Tuesday to Monday with massive rigs & specific needs. Hiring a monstrous staff to...

I think we can all agree that everyone raced the same course under the same conditions and the best rider for that run stood on the top step at the end of the day. I enjoy the variations and nuance of each world cup track and quite frankly wish there was a broader spectrum in the course design. Snowshoe asked some questions of riders that haven't been asked yet this season, and some riders had better answers than others. From the interviews I watched it seemed unanimous that Snowshoe provided the hard test of rider and machine thus far on...

On a positive note I just watched the Sleeper shredit from Snowshow and oh boy am I hyped for downhill racing! If you're not into paying Chris Ball 20 quid a year that's fine. Between Sleeper, Lawlor, Cathro, Wyn, Moimoi and Eddie you won't miss a beat. The racing this year has been the best of all time and all the best coverage is free. What a cool sport to watch and what a cool industry that supports these amazing video guys to be at the races. I'm off to watch it again.

I don't think you've said anything there that requires a tinfoil hat, writing's on the wall. Every time a rider says the semis suck ESO rub their hands together.

I was hoping they'd slip Cedric some edibles at some point in at Snowshoe......

At first I was a little put off by not offering qualifying and semi points, but I suppose they did that so that if the season is close (like it is) they wouldn't be awarding a championship for a quali or semi run. That being said it would have been even more interesting if they would have put all the points on the finals run. It would have made things a bit spicier! As it stands now it looks like Loic only controls his own destiny if he finishes in 2nd or better. Loris can take it home if he...

Also curious if he's able to show a tad more restraint in his commenting. I feel like every rider he sees coming down is able to win the overall...

The thing I'm really holding out for is Cedric finally getting the terminology right about being up or down on time. Probably too much to ask though.

If racing World Cup dh racing is part of a companies marketing, minnaar can’t be selling many reserve rims or maxxis tires with the amount he’s had tire/wheel issues this season. It’s getting to be a bit if a joke

dak and joe POV

As much as I'd like to see him racing it's nice to know the commentary will be worth listening to for the last 2 races.

snowshoe pit bits vid is on our youtube channel unlisted (we just posted the US Open race recap, so waiting a bit to make it live there), but you hardcores can peep it now. missy giove sighting inside : )
