I say we have a 'rusty' contest, have not ridden DH since last year here at whistler, but this trip I decided to bring the old trusty 2000 era Steve Peat DH-i, complete with blown fork seal and oil on front rotor....and Tioga tires (sweet in the original sin wet roots).Sweet hope I am not to rusty, too much without doing downhills.
Also hope bike can make it for 10 days, the frame proto is around 3.6kg with no shock and 15.5kg full build, hehe!
You know if Minnaar is around there?
Beware, shes old, slow, working momDid a full run down garbanzo with LD this afternoon. Video up later on.

A friend still has that GT, but not riding it any more. So you will be there next week or after 2 weeks you're leaving? I got an email from Greg and he will be there but as I see probably Matti will be there as well, so that sounds great.I say we have a 'rusty' contest, have not ridden DH since last year here at whistler, but this trip I decided to bring the old trusty 2000 era Steve Peat DH-i, complete with blown fork seal and oil on front rotor....and Tioga tires (sweet in the original sin wet roots).
Did runs with Matti, Cedric and needles all afternoon and had them in stitches laughing so hard "how are you hanging with us on that clapped out piece of ****".
I wish Fraser had the helmet cam going yesterday when we were riding in the morning, he could have grabbed scenes of me wiping fork legs off with my handy dandy napkins after each run.
Been here for 2 weeks, the DHi is pretty much done...it was a sweet ride but wish I brought the SOCOM at this point.
GM arrives on monday.
haha i've gotta say, i was curious about that too. and even more amazing, is how you managed to "hang with them"...? :biggrin:eh? 2 weeks in Whistler on an outdated & blown bike when you've got a decked out Socom at home? Logic?
The DHi was mint when I got here, it is the only DH bike that has ever fit me (I am tall and lanky, it was built for peaty) but since I have been here, the fork seal blew and spit some oil on rotor. I am not a little gear whiner like the rest of you sallies, so I just 'run what you brung'.eh? 2 weeks in Whistler on an outdated & blown bike when you've got a decked out Socom at home? Logic?
It's easy to follow fast guys, not so easy to do it on your own.haha i've gotta say, i was curious about that too. and even more amazing, is how you managed to "hang with them"...? :biggrin:
"robot brain" line following is an interesting phenomenon.It's easy to follow fast guys, not so easy to do it on your own.

So slalom practice starts today, first event on tap here in whistler, slalom race is tomm. The track looks like the ones we all made as kids in our backyard with perfectly groomed mini turns for our stomper trucks.....ooops, old guy reference there.
jd destroyed everyone so badly on the second half of the course!Beerten and Swanguen win cworx slalom.
By all means, feel free to spend your own money and do a better job.Worst coverage of a major event, ever.
Thanx for all the updates, pics etc. Great job as ever!Monster Party, Live form my Iphone. Matt the Alien on the wheels of steel.
