your party
Do I get to use your access all "areas" VIP pass?
That whole thing seemed fine when it was a limited number of super capable riders checking off features that they were mostly familiar with as part of a big day out. Now that it's turned into a giant circus, it's pretty much exactly the wrong way of promoting any kind of individual "progression". There's high pressure from all sides. There's media there, collective peer pressure from all of the riders present, and the very limited time that they spend in any given location. Either do a very limited invite along the lines of the original event or keep it as a larger group event with only a handful of features and a focus on safety.
Head out to his hospital bed and tell him where he went wrong. Better still. Offer Redbull to take his place in the comp.
no, you must prove yourself worthy in front of the door man like every one else

Edit: can biker-bros please stop screaming LET’S GO already? Jezus. It was old when Tom Brady said it in the Hertz commercial 5 years ago….

It's a real issue in that part of the country.
we don't tolerate quitters around here.
Just saw this on the Facebook from Gee Atherton.
Heavy day yesterday. Testing out the new drop on my Rampage run and a combo of slightly deep and a bit of a wind gust meant I couldn’t ride it out.
Injuries are not too bad tho, some fractures to vertebrae and a few skull fractures will mean I’ll have to chill for a few weeks.
What hurts the most tho is missing the event this Friday, especially after the dig crew have been putting in such an effort.
Big thanks to the medical crew on site, and to @alfraynor, @kuli_1995 and @moonhead_media for creating this beast. We’ll be back

FFS! He's irish. They're quite an excitable nation. "Let's go" is a phrase that's been used by sports fans and players here and in the UK and in Ireland forever. When shouted by Dan in that footage I'm pretty certain it'll have had absolutely nothing to do with "Tom Brady" (whoever the fuck he is) or any Hertz commercial from 5 years ago.
Do keep up Murca
Wasn’t really being too serious about the etymology of the phrase, so much as pointing out that it’s become the new “yeewwww!”
Not like they protect anything useful.All good, just a few vertebrae...
And skull bones!All good, just a few vertebrae...
LMAO
OK. IMO. Gee can keep hucking himself until time ends. Dude has skills and fitness. Never a dull moment. I'd love to see him come to some of my locals and show everyone how it's done.
So what do you do with all that? Too early to retire? Too late to play WC DH guy? Coach? UCI Delegate? "Consultant"?
IDK. What ever makes him happy. That's what I'd say.

It may have started somewhere else, but I blame R Willy for the over popularity of "let's go". I don't think I've ever gotten tired of a phrase so quickly. Man, I'm old.
Gee did ride some Moab this year, too. Not quite our local, but close.

He did try Rally.
It's not that popular in Wales but maybe Golf?
Isn't Sven known to be a rather nice person?
Naah. It's not 2003 and we don't listen to Limp Bizkit anymore. Some playful ribbing is fine but nice people are good.
Doesn't Redbull offer access to some really high level specialists in Austria for Athletes? I remember either one of the athletes or photogs telling me about it
they have high end training facilities in every bigger country
Honestly, I don't know. I just remember they pretty much left Paul B out in the pissing rain after a short period following his Rampage crash.
Again, I don't remember. But I'm willing to say he didn't.
Anyway, that's more of an issue with how fucked up the American health care system is.
At one time yes. They'd dropped him before his crash
