    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Nah start times are locked in before the event and you've got an allocated stage start time. Depending on the course sometimes the Amateurs run the whole course anyway, but some events the Amateurs skip a stage, or they close features for them (like the 1199 track in Whistler this year). The...

    Modern full face helmets

    And thank you for that. That's all I needed. I know fit is important. This is why I probably won't buy a Bell or a TLD since those tend to not fit me well. I will try newer models to be sure though. I will also avoid 100% since the one I just destroyed had the worst carbon weave I have even...

    UCI / Discovery channel

    I think that originally came from a race at Crankworx in Whistler. I think they threatened with fines or disqualifications. I think it might even still be a rule? But is ignored?

    Is DH hot again?

    I'm down. From a USA/Colorado perspective, Whistler is easier, but Europe is uhhh more exotic? Maybe time it with a world cup near by? Would love to see one of those over there. Global pandemic?! So it's not cool to bring a dead bat? What if I wear a mask and stay 6 freedom units away from...

    2020 Racing

    Have in mind many top racers don't go full tilt on pre season, non WC races. This alone makes it less important. Also the logic of Hannah is faster this year because she won this year over someone who won last year over someone who is fast but still generally slower than Hannah was in 2019 is a...

    I loved how his first thought after winning a World Cup is to ride some more purely for pleasure.

    2019 World Champs

    was just gonna say, the potential for performance bonuses (ie win money from sponsors) at the world cup might be a factor, at least for the top handful of racers.

    What trail bike tire casings don't suck?

    Hmmm I've some DHR2's I was going to put on this year, but some of the resorts can be pretty dry (understatement for Granby Ranch). Jealous, was hoping for Whistler this year along with Sun Peaks too (brother lives there), but it will have to be next year.

    World Cup 2019 Team Rumors

    Yep they have quietly started hosting UCI sanctioned DH and XC events with thinks like the Canada Cup and the Canadian Open being a UCI class 1 level event. They need to jump through these hoops with the UCI before then can apply to host a WC. The 2019 dates have been announced but not...

    World Cup 2019 Team Rumors

    not a team rumor per se, but it sounds like Whistler wants a world cup after all. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/first-look-the-stevie-smith-1199-dh-track.html

    9km outside of La Bresse World Cup Finale

    I think it's just for fun. Gee was making fun of Eddie at the last round for missing a World Cup to race the Whistler Enduro and we've heard many DH Pros stating they'd possibly consider Enduro after they retire. It's fair game that someone mainly associated with Enduro winning a World Cup rubs...

    Talk Me Out of a Capra 29?

    For myself I started with the notion that 10=world cup caliber racer. 9=national level racer. 8=provincial level racer. I've ridden with guys that raced at the provincial level and they're faster, but I can keep them in my sights. So I chose 7. Then I described the trails I've ridden in the...

    apparently UCI

    Wasn't there a rumor that Angel Fire lost money on their WC endeavor in 2005? Do you see the annoying GoPro games advertised? Vail or the parent company, Vail Resorts, which as you know includes Keystone has no interest in a WC. It's not family friendly enough or revenue generating enough (I...

    Aussie needing help re Canada

    Not sure why you'd want to go there all the way from the land under...The riding there isnt all that great and there isnt much to ride other than that mountain...You'll be 45 min away from downtown and transit is a pita....There isnt much to do at night other than WC parties... Having said that...

    Whistler and the WC?

    what exactly is your point? Everytime this comes up on ridemonkey I see the same answers, whistler doesn't need to host a worldcup to make money and doesn't want the headache that comes with the UCI. Same answers I have read up until I got to this post of yours. What is your link supposed to show?

    Whistler and the WC?

    But you are not one whistler owners or mangers. If you want to see a world cup buy a plane ticket. Put yourself in Whistler ppls place. UCI has on numerous ocasions tried to pressure Whistler like with their stupid idea to treaten riders enterining non UCI sanctioned races with exclusion and...
