Meanwhile in the Specialized pits:

Since when is the iXS cup a "feeder" series, it's a standalone business that has never needed to be propped up by the governing body. I know forum hounds love to bag on the UCI at any turn, but as someone else said. Local government pulled their end of the funding, so Pohorje dropped the event and iXS had no alternative. How is this in anyway the UCI's fault? iXS run a race series as a business. UCI just provide commissaires and a rulebook

because they're the only Sram brakes that work

The Thagomizer is the most dangerous part. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thagomizer

I meant to say...4 or more seconds.

Just reading the names for tomorrow, knowing what the track looks like…holy shit this is going to be so sick. On a track that seems to turn anyone into a checkers-or-wrecker, to see all these gnarly names in that order?—unreal. I’m already feeling over-caffeinated for tomorrow morning! Finley Iles and Amaury as last dudes on the mountain? Come ON it cannot get heavier. Italian privateer in 11th? Hyped beyond hype!

(me looking at Amaury) "heres your gun and badge ur BACK ON THE CASE PIERRON!" man saw i said he was slow in the other thread and said 'hold my champagne' you gotta love Val Di Sole (and wet and scary VDS) playing hell on the expectations. Skill aside, it's pure risk management. Push too hard and you can lose seconds again and again on the track. There are a lof of tracks where you can make a mistake and kinda stay in the track and get right back on line. Here I feel like you basically careen down the...

Well who did you think gave Greg his anti-aging medication?

Can we talk about how rad the sleeper collective video edits from the uci dh race weekends are? The last one from leogang really shows the feel/fun of the event and really makes me want to grab my bike and go out for a ride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gP7YQEKkfA

aka Doing a Kona

sven just confirmed same and added "he was running a gopro, so we'll see on footage what happened." this could very easily be the loss of an overall win. asa wouldn't have won the race, but would have easily earned some points if he finished his run at that pace he was at during the red flag.

Must have been some after-party!

This feature has completely deterred me and many others from watching. The crazy thing is the gap isn't that huge in the scheme of things but, the shit transition, lack of safety and just shear uglyness of the feature is not pleasant. I understand it is hard line but this it putyourlifeontheline. I hope this is the last time we see this stuff.

Popping in to say I'm stoked we have two sick #USDH races in the two off weeks from world cup DH to keep us fan boys going. And they both have replay show coverage on Youtube !!! Monster Energy Pro Downhill this weekend at Mountain Creek looks epic. The crew pulled out all of the stops for an epic track and I'm sure we will have great camera coverage from the Gravity Cooperative. Dante Silva qualifying just ahead of Asa makes for some epic racing tomorrow. And next weekend DHSE Snowhsoe on the Basin side of the mtn for an...

For years I had CX neighbors on the Blood Vampire whatch list. Vlad did it wrong. It’s absolutely impossible to forget to update them. It’s your own personal responsibility- nobody “forgets”. No excuses
