Nope please explain in very long detailed post so I will never be confused again .

I suspect people will hate the idea of the Genie shock less and less as they're exposed to them in real life, on friend's bikes and on their bikes. This will be a great contrast to many other proprietary Specialized forks and shocks, which people hated more and more as they were exposed to them in real life, on friend's bikes and on their bikes.

We don't need more rules to confuse new viewers. Every single rider is given the exact same opportunity right now to make it into finals. It's fair without adding protection back in.

The top #USDH junior parents are about to spend a whole heck of a lot of money.

someone go push up and give us a POV

I really really hope the build turns out good. We really need a World Class DH course if want World Cup DH racing in the states. Hopefully we get a really sick STEEP AF track and they open Whiteface backup to DH riding.

In Anna's positiion, her parents moved to Switzerland years ago. Not sure abou the other. Also, reardless of where you are from, you should train where ever is best for you. When someone asks what your address is for one of these forms, the only time lying is allowed is in high school football and AAU basketball.

It's based on where you currently live or what USA Cycling has as your current home address. Blevins is from California, not Colorado. Out of date info according to Google and Blevins himself Gwin is from California, not Tennessee Courtney is listing a different town from where she's from/lived etc... There's nothing wrong with living abroad while representing your native country. There is a small contingent of people who think you should compete for the country you train/live in when it's to their advantage, but oddly enough, don't think it should be a two-way street. Imagine having SailGP or the...

lithium ion batteries are mostly recycleable these days. those raw materials are way too lucrative to throw away. you need of course a country with a functioning recycling system (read: NOT THE USA) who isn't still using landfills...

I can't wait for the next race cuz this thread is going off the rails lol If the speed suit is such a game changer, why was Jackson dunking on everyone pre-speedsuit in juniors? Why are Tahnee and Nina not dunking on their fields with such a large advantage? (Are they just THAT bad?) Why was Gracey destroying them in Dharco gear? Why is Vali still leading the overall in that like in-house YT gear? Why isn't Specialized making one for Loic? Does it help? Yes. Is it the reason Jackson is winning? ... No. If anything I'd like to...

Nope. No mountain bike skills to be found on the WC DH circuit... sheesh.

I don't agree with your conclusions at all, but even if we entertain them. 1) Ski racing is some of the raddest gravity fed racing in the world if you have any understanding of it at all, so having some similarity to ski racing is not necessarily a bad thing. 2) If you think all skiers look the same or have identical style, you have not yet taken the time or energy to actually learn the sport. Thats fine, but people who follow it can immediately know who certain skiers are based simply by their style/technique. Skiers don't all look...

" The only time every racer doesn't look the exact same in a pic is in practice or a crash. We're coming back full circle to being skiers on bikes again" Incorrect

If it rains before or during the DH World Champs this year, it's inevitable that Danny Hart's epic 2011 Championship will come to mind for many. He was just a couple of weeks shy of his 20th birthday when he won by almost 12 seconds. What makes his performance all the more memorable was the unbridled announcing by Nigel Page and Rob Warner as they nearly lost their minds calling his run. And so, here you go:

Or the fact that he's less out of breath, despite riding one of the gnarliest dh tracks while talking the entire time, than most people are walking to the end of the driveway and back.

The rules for DH are almost as simple as saying that whoever rides a bike from the top to the bottom fastest while staying in the track limits wins, and I love it. Any type of hyper specific equipment rules like those in road racing or ski racing just limits the innovation that's required to be the fastest. If somebody wants to wear ankle weights or put oobleck in their tires because they think it's better, then they should let them. Let the fastest rider win. Shake weight in the steerer tube? Sure. Hamster bottle for the rear brake? Have...

Any race on the planet is JGoldstone’s to win. And this one’s on the dirt that raised him? He’s probably sleeping in his childhood bed? (He doesn’t appear to sleep but whatever) Can we bet on mtb? Dude’s a lock!

Fire off some bottle rockets to celebrate its second coming!

Here’s me if they discontinue the original DHF
