Windham 2011
- Thread starter 'size
- Start date
This is crazy. Look at how close the times are...except his. I don't know what they did to him over the winter but he's killing it.
the times are pretty close. for everyone after gwin.
~6 seconds up on a two and a half minute track? amazingly consistent dominance. the regular podium guys must be shaking their heads.
sorry for the double post (or repost), but did anyone else notice Graves is racing dh? stoked for him racing dh next year
Holy hell Gwin is fast! That is amazing, especially on such a short course.
I was thinking of Nico Vouilloz. What are the chances this kid could win a race as a Jr?
Ropelato just out of the top ten. Nicely done.
Graves DNS? what, why?
How about Brendan Fairclough, I'm pretty sure he got 2 WC podiums when he was 17. Or at least as a junior.

Brook McD up there again too
my fantasy picks suck... had brook earlier this season and he wasn't performing so swapped him for stevie... now back to back races steve has been off his game and brook is killing it... grrrr....
Old schoolers, has a junior ever won a race?
So who's coming second tomorrow?
So who's coming second tomorrow?
Chausson and Vouilloz won plenty.
CG may have won one in '99 too but I'm too lazy to look it up.
So what place does Gwin have to get now to win the overall?
False... First year in seniors
CG was 21/22 in '99. But he did set fastest time when he won Junior Worlds in '95
He was a 1st year senior. Pretty sure only junior to win was Vouilloz, most recent podium was Brendan in '05, last one to be consistently in the mix was Hill (and Gee close behind) and now Brosnan. I think?
The Trumpores and Me.
It would make a hell of a reality show.

Maybe if the camera crews followed me to work every day.
Soooooo, any news from Winham?
I know that would be a money maker and have discussed it with past co workers however we felt we would all go to jail. example a:
after a lengthy discussion covering the exploitation of pimping/prostitution brought on by a drawing posted on the wall of a snake wearing a bling necklace of gold and ice followed by the word "pimpin" scrawled underneath it on one person in the group/discussion brought up a very good point.
"How can a snake wear a necklace? They ain't got no necks!" No concern about anything in the discussion about pimpsnhoes just that snakes can't wear a necklace cause they ain't got no neck. can't make that up
Real World Jersey Shore all that other **** can't hold a candle to the reality that encompasses some daily interactions that take place in such a "work" environment.
back to regular schedule program.

didn't ACC also win a junior world champs with a faster time than all the senior women but only got awarded the Junior WC title? [/controversy]
1995 worlds, French federation signed acc up to race the senior women, uci did not allow her to, she was not old enough ( little thing called the rules). Anne won the junior class, her time was 4 seconds faster than senior winner Leigh donovan, but seniors went about 4 hours early, in the mud, course got way faster. The winning junior male, was also faster than senior man.
French fans and national team staff showed up at Award ceremony when leigh got her rainbow jersey and boo'd the **** out of her, in addition to throwing stuff at her on the podium [pure class].
All at being said, acc is and will go down as the best female DH racer of all time, there will never be anyone as bad ass...ever. (but Leigh is the raddest
)
fixed it
Double FIXAll at being said, acc is and will go down as the best DH racer of all time, there will never be anyone as bad ass...ever. (but Leigh is the raddest
cant wait for tomorrow...more awesome weather on the way for the hike down the course!
Finally get to see what happened with gee's tire from last week. Looks like rankin caught it.
If anything that's a testament to his wheels after ft bill. Can't really see talking much shlt on his tires after seeing this.

pretty damn psyched to see how Cody & Austin Warren do tomorrow!
rankin slays as a filmer/editor, so good......shows a lot of reasons why gwin is laying it to everyone too, he's full on moto'ing everything and killing it, some really sneaky inside lines too
There's like 8 or 9 Americans in the finals. Is that a record? AMERICA!pretty damn psyched to see how Cody & Austin Warren do tomorrow!
