Expect much slower times this year, word has it that many riders will be dismounting to check the landings on various features.

Word on the street is that there isn't even a course this year. You just kinda ride through the woods and branches until you get to the parking lot, then you have to find Shawn. That will be the winner of the whole weekend as he is virtually non existent during that time. :D

Cant wait to see the results for this.
Really pulling for Matt Beer from NFLD. He came top 20 last year and just came 4th in the first round of the Canada cup. Stoked for him.

The course is more technical. Still have people parking their butts in the main lines. The course marshals are doing a better job of keeping people out of the way. The new sections were pretty slick this morning but good to go by the last hour of am practice.

Seems like fewer people. The weather has been good though during the day.

Once again, Trek is looking fast.... With Gwin now, Trek should have a monster year overall.

Yeti guys qualifying fast like at the GRT's, wonder how their finish will be though

Gwinner winner chicken dinner. This is a dude I can get behind. Would have a bit of a streak going if it weren't for the off at Highland.

Either Gee's holding back, or he's not the DHbot the hype would have us believe.

Gwinbomb's crash at Val di Sole last year feels more painful now; he had that one nearly wrapped up. I imagine it fueled some of the fire in the off-season.

I'm more and more impressed with Rude... he beat out a lot of big names. Warren too.

Stevie with another squeaker of a #2... hope that stokes his fires too.
