Hi all,

Here are some pictures from the first round of the Swiss downhill cup As you can see, the weather was quite awful during Saturday's practice, but became much better for the race

Full gallery : http://www.nobrakes.ch/ixsdhcup1_04.php

And a few samples :

(this one was taken at a jump contest)

Comments are welcome.

excellent pics of what looks like an excellent competition. Was the dude with stars on his helmet a yank?

Yeah, only a couple of shots are in the gallery. For the other ones they can give me their number and I'll look if I have any pics of them

Yep I used just two flashes as I can't afford more (and I think you can do quite a few things with "only" 2).

Ahh the irony of it all.

How come all the Europeans are running hayes (American) while all the americans are so in love with Hopes (european)

Maybe its just what's hot and rare??

I'm also a little bit surprised too see so many Hayes in those pics Many friends and myself absolutely love Hopes, but a lot of complete bikes come with Hayes so maybe they keep them (as they do work well too...)
