NOOOOOO!!!! She was gonna be so on it this year too...rachel atherton broke her wrist...
I was looking at your report for the day on Transcend.com. Since when is 18 degree C (64 degrees F) cold? Is there that much of a cold breeze?Definietly cold out in the morning, this evening for 4x it was getting pretty cold when the wind started to pick up again as well.
No official men's results from 4x qualis yet. Lopes, Dan Atherton, Prokop, Graves are within about a half second of each other (unofficial times so far). Kintner was first for the women.
It was 26c the day before, 18 and cloudy and windy is pretty damn chilly, and yesterday it was 15 all day in town, colder up here.I was looking at your report for the day on Transcend.com. Since when is 18 degree C (64 degrees F) cold? Is there that much of a cold breeze?

We owe it all to the lack of promotion with the only U.S. gravity based magazine 'decline' for too much huckflipspin promtion.yeah. . . everyone else thinks it's more rad to learn bar spins and test their suspension forks to the skate park.
5 with chris.............we have one rider going to the swiss WCAre there really only 4 Americans racing WC level downhill? Crazy.
with all the Decline bashing, i should point out that they did step up and sponsor a UCI team so there could be a US presence at the world cups. . . i'd be going no where without that help.
seems there's a huge market for the street/park/huckflipwhatever scene and they cover a lot of it. . . . can't just blame the mag for it, until just recently there was no real US downhill racing worht promoting.

10 pro riders getting together and pitching in to buy the our way intoWicked, thanks....
Very cool that DH honchos like Rennie, Hannah and Graves are doing 4X in addition to the DH-love getting my moneys worth.
As for decline and their 'team' what does being on the team entail? free bikes, all expenses? do tell...
nice... i am deffinetly going to Maribor, can't wait to ride that trackMaribor should be bithcin! i'm planning to go there as well!
Fair enough, thanks for sharing that.10 pro riders getting together and pitching in to buy the our way into
world cups. everyone has the own sponsors but @ world cups we
ride decline, b/c they give us the huge salary's that UCI requires....
i came up with it but couldn't have done it w/o the cooperation of
the team members to get it done by FEB and old friend hart @ DECLINE.
just for ridemonkey, and unfinished BIO for team decline.
Is he sponsored? I have only seen him in some old hockey jersey or something like that.As for old timers, Jurgen is here and rockin it hard. He has a serious shot at makin' some youngin's look foolish.
donno... she kinda gave up racing 4x after her serious injury back in Whistler racing against Jill... i think she's only don't a handfull since thenHow come Sabrina is not racing 4x?
And anyone know if semi-retired Tomas Misser is making a spanish appearance? Misser, my all time favorite DH rider, love this man...in a non-gay way.
mmmmm.....Vigo, Spain
