Crankworx website has 3:30-6:00 pm as the time for DH finals, does anyone know what time zone that is? Would like to try and make time to watch it live today.

drunk young men are necessary for all this to work. that’s just the way it is—the alternatives are all worse.

I’ve always kind of wondered this too. It made more sense when Stevie was racing imo. I don’t have a problem with it, but it does seem a little odd to me.
My take on the dropping a round would be that you still are required to be there for every round to be eligible. It would help make the points tighter, but still require you to be accountable. I agree with the above comments that this is a professional sport, so accountability is important.

Zink is probably a little more challenging than a lot of riders to deal with because he is so business minded. I don’t think gwin’s record is really much different, which would make sense for the same reason. Cam is just a little rougher around the edges so it comes off a little different. I have listened to quite a...

They really measure your caffeine intake? I love a RedBull, but if I drink even 1 8.4oz can right before I ride my heart rate gets out of control at the start. I have to drink it about a half hour before. No idea how he could possibly drink that many right before a race run.

Yeah, Hardline is great but seeing it go this direction makes it feel like a sideshow to try and pull in clips views on social media. Shitloads of people are going to share clips of this jump but those folks likely won't know what the event is, or even what the sport is. I know this concept was created by Dan to make a race with the biggest more technical features on it and I totally understand that but it seems to me that this is entering try hard vs something genuinely good for the sport or even interestingly. Don't...

Old person here. Rampage is too groomed.It's so 'mid' now. 90ft jumps are not the norm for pro's......not even the darkfest crew. I know some of the 'boyz'. Most of them are scared shitless. *You're The event is owned and run by RB. The diggers (some of the Dyfi crew) are contracted to build/maintain the course. Dh is a minority sport.....but that does'nt mean that there should be a high chance of death for a minor mistake. Both Bk's and Jims jumps could have gone very,very,very badly wrong.It's bike racing.....not Beyond Thunderdome (ask your Dad). I'm going back to my...

I’m not sure that the cool factor of that jump is worth the risk. It almost reminds me of slopestyle, but with way more consequences if something goes wrong.

Not really imo. Fox doesn’t really seem to be on top, and they seem to cater to certain teams. Gwin is a business man, to be a good one you can’t be afraid to make a change no matter what the history.

Just hopped on Fantasy (didn't do 1st round). Just gotta say props to the guys who built up the format on here. Much easier to use system than the other site's fantasy selection.

I was born in Poland, but I grew up in California....spent 40 years there. Now I'm back in Poland...as luck would have it....in Bielsko-Biała. For the past 3 years I've been riding most of the trails that'll be used at the event. Prior to that, my resume includes mostly Skegg's Point and Braille in the Santa Cruz Mountains, a run down Mt. Lemmon outside of Tuscon, and some Tapia Canyon (Castaic, California). I'm old and mostly ride motorcycles with MTB stuff peppered in here and there. Nevertheless, I think I have some unique credibility here. So if you will endulge...

Coming from someone who has only started watching downhill the last couple years, I really only tune in for the top 10-15 guys. So maybe cutting the field down makes sense to bring in newer fans. I completely understand that doing so makes it much harder for companies to justify supporting you if you aren’t going to be in the...
