One of our ambassadors/videographers (and former EDR racer) Sascha Kim is half South Korean, half Australian. He's checking out the venue now so we have a better idea of what to expect. Logistics are going to be extremely challenging. Sascha's Instagram is saschakim1 if you want to check him out.

Been 15 years since I lived there. The only advice I would give is to eat as much BBQ as you can and avoid the soju. The hangover isn't worth it! You'll have such a blast. It's the best kind of culture shock going to Korea.

Two years ago, I would have called you crazy, but having had some prefrontal cortex development and a few MTB-related operations, it's terrifying to see a couple dozen incredible human beings (some of whom haven't even reached adulthood) put themselves at incredible risk for arguably not a lot of reward. I genuinely think we are reaching the limits of what the human body (and equipment) can do in many disciplines, and the recent injuries to these high-profile athletes are an unfortunate reminder of that. Something has to change, I don't know what that is, but I do know I won't...

I'm not sure if it was entirely the result of a multiple-time-repeat venue, but I found this year's runs harder to differentiate. To be clear, I don't want to trivialize any of what the riders are doing -- it's all extremely impressive and consequential. But from a spectator's perspective it seemed like there was less variety in the lines than in past editions, and apart from Zink's chute and maybe Zablotny's lily-pad it would be difficult for me to identify many distinctive features. Lots of slight variations, and it seemed like many of the lines converged around halfway down? And...

Holy moly that was very close.

Gonna be tough getting the warranty on that YT.

I mean, he did land near flat. Glad to see him up and seemingly okay.

Big thanks to Vitalmtb, Spomer and One up Components. Just received my package all the way down here in NZ. Legends. Now how can this mail from Canada arrive quicker than half my work orders for materials im only getting sent from one end of this country to another???
