Did you read the Weagle interview in the latest Decline? At least he didn't die LOL
Hello souvenir!! Long time coming for sure! 'grats to Gwin on the well deserved win
Yes, it was the bike, not the rider
Trek made the smart move signing up Gwin!
weird, i refreshed a few times and kept getting the 'thanks for watching' screen. oh well.The cast didnt stop before gwin going to podium. Just refreshed and it continued
But only short time though.
and now a re-run already ?
Don't forget to give props to Peaty for a great run! Especially given his age and some kind of medical illness.
Gary Houseman in Grouse mountain, I know he had to give it back but thats the most recent win as far as I can recall.
Brock
Brock
how about neko!? 29th!??? thats ****in awesome for a newbie! he beat a ****ton of the field
and that was a weather fluke, to be fair
Yeah forgot the weather turning was essentially the reason an elite cyclist ended up failing a doping test!! Makes a change to the roadies! That stuff houseman was on was seriously performance enhancing!!
Amazing result for Gwin, peat is on fire, barel is a machine and if that track didn't have the flat pedal, how close to podium would the likes of bryceland of been?
Then again woulda shoulda coulda, Gwin dida and blew everyone away. Gonna be an amazing season!

Too much positive talk. Here are some topics to get butthurt over:
- Riffle vs. [insert other American ride you think should have a factory ride but doesn't]
- Neko vs. Troy Brosnan - who's the boss? Who asks "What can I do today to be world champ?" more frequently?
they should have made the top step a bit taller
Looks like the top step's for the top 3.
Man, that track sure sucked 
Now that the celebrations have finally subsided, lets get to the RideMonkey goodness... 
Who ACTUALLY ran a vivid air during their race run?

Gwinn deserved that win. I think out of all the interviews I heard he was the only one that didn't really complain about the track. Just put his work pants on and got it done. Well done sir well done

I had mine on my TR450 during the whole thing....
this is ****in' HUGE for US DH MTB. ESPN should do a story
America, fvck yeah!
Great result for Gwin. Awesome to see him take a win.

re Neko vs Troy... I don't think i'd say either is boss... they were within one second of each other. I'd call that an epic battle.
Riffle's on my Dirt Fantasy Team...
this was a good race with lot's of suspense. bodes well for the rest of the season. it seems the field is much more open now with more than three dudes that are capable of a win. this is a great start to what will undoubtedly be a great season!
,double win for Trek
I'm pretty sure riffle just gave a big proud bird to everybody and anybody who said he doesn't deserve factory support and isn't as good as other american riders.
good for him.
and the time between neko and brosnan is close. Its gonna be a rad season for the juniors.
Same here. I didn't do great at this race cause I have Hill and Jonnier on my team, and stupidly picked fearon before finding out that he wasn't riding this season, so I think my team is F*ed, but Hill, barel, and jonnier could still pull it together.Riffle's on my Dirt Fantasy Team...
that tire would look at home on a comfort bike
This was the first "real" win of an american rider since Palmer in Big Bear in 1999 on WC's.
The other one was Rockwell in 2000 but on Worlds in Sierra Nevada.

id say a world championship is bigger than a WC win
