Fabian Barel just walked by and he says it’s sandy enough that it shouldn’t pack the tires too much, but they’ll keep an eye on it and try to manage the current slick conditions.

Keep a look out here this weekend because I'm marshaling and sector managing all day Friday and Saturday (Sunday is for spectating). If there's enough cell service I'll try to get some quick phone photos or line choice markups posted like last year.

I've been doing the same thing with my old VHS tapes! I've gone through about 5 tapes so far, about 50 to go. I made a whole new Youtube channel just for it - Downhill Rewind 1997 Deer Valley 1998 Deer Valley

First post/link was blocked? US Open weekend feels like the right time for a 30-year throwback to the classic NORBA National era. I’ve been slowly digitizing and archiving all our old 90s VHS tapes so this history doesn't get lost. Here’s the 1996 Deer Valley National broadcast on ESPN. My better half, Leigh Donovan, took the double win in Elite Women’s DH and Dual Slalom that weekend! It was an awesome event, though as the team wrench back then, I vividly remember we went through some wheels and the dust was pretty savage on fork seals.

Race was super fun as a spectator. Kids had a great time. May not be the best track but some more Rocky Mountain/West coast races where you get to see top riders is awesome. Good vibes in the woods.

9/11/2026 8:34am Yeah the current course looks wide open, it fits the namesake of US Open. Would have been cool to see this guys ride Barney Rubble like the old NORBA course had and the rock drop into the ski piste.

Just use double butted spokes and open up the LSC on the shock. 😉

How? The laid out the criteria for selection and other riders had better results to get selected. Should they get bumped just because it’s AG? If anything it’s one drawback for Gwin racing part time on the WC circuit

It's UCI Mountain Bike World Champs week in Val di Sole, Italy. The trucks rolled in this morning and the pits are getting setup. Schedule for the week is below (track walk and first practice on Weds), quali/seeding on Friday and race on Saturday. Schedule (PDF) Early weather predictions are showing rain on Friday and Saturday which will make the infamous Black Snake trail hectic, so here's hoping to a change as the week progresses. Everything is different than a World Cup with how to watch and how to get live timing. How to Watch World Champs from Olympics.com: As...

Here are the main reasons for rim failure. I think you're in the stronger wheel camp but I do agree with the other members that you're probably in the firmer part of your rear suspension stroke more often because of the slow rebound and it makes it harder for wheels to move out of the way > you hit rims more > you break rims more. Happy to help diagnose with the other vital crew here. 🤜 (not a plug for our insert... you'll want to fix some of the other things mentioned before relying on an insert first, those...

re: rushing the finish, in a chat of videographers at the race, filmer, TJ Smith is going to get x-rays on his leg as he was smushed in the melee near max at the end and it was reported that a girl in the crowd was removed w/ a bone sticking out of her arm (compound fracture). perfect storm of racing, fans, alcohol and narrow spaces. lawlor said he was near a barrier before the end of the race and realized it was a bad idea and got away from it. it was leaning in at 45 degrees once everyone...

I'm not actually 100% sure of what I witnessed today. This was by far the most unhinged thing I've ever seen involving bikes. Conditions, weather, riding, fans, etc... all completely unhinged.
