Regarding the protection thing I just think it is embarrassing the racers have so poor support for proper protection. Have they no sponsors willing to show their stuff???
They don't have poor support from sponsors, they just don't ride with it. Personal preference.

Do you think that they are making cardboard back protectors because 661 or the like doesn't make proper support products???

I always thought that Pinkbike was a little gay. Look at the subliminal message that they are trying to send via tabs.

They are a bit bigger and longer on the market though. Dont know about poc xc lids but early july it was hard to buy the cortex flow in some places. Didnt they also underproduce this or last year? I share Jons love of the company. I only wish I could get their knee/shin pads cheaper. The alpinestars have only 2 sizes which is silly.

You guys are still talking about ugly helmets????

Those times are tight. Amazing Ben Reid in 20th at 208.113 and Luke Strobel in 34th with a 208.881.

that's because they had production issues rather than selling out unfortunately. My g/f tried to get one direct from the importer but ended up having to get something else
If you can live with the looks of the cortex dh you can find some 2009 models on sale. They dont have the mips but all the other super features are there. Ive seen one in some brit shop for 200gbp.

Come on calculator fans, get the points worked out!! What needs to happen for Gwin to take the overall?! I'd do it myself but I'm thick as fu......

Looks like Gwin has it. 1118 pts + 50 = 1168. Minnar 776 + 10? = 786.

382 pt lead. As long as he starts both races its pretty impossible for minnar to win. If Gwin places top 20 in this race he could not race the last race and still win.

I just watched another helmet cam. I remember the stink about this track when it was new in 2009. Am I the only one who still thinks it looks like they taped off a section of a hill near a farm village?

I was watching the Scott helmet cam run this morning and I thought the same thing. Unusual course for sure.

When agriculture is struggling to make a buck then farmers can now tape their fields, put some dood at the main gate and top up his subsidy. Might just work.

The helmet cam runs make the course look lame.
The dirt qualie vid makes it look like the most fun track on the circuit!

I would love to ride it - natural mini jumps everywhere!

it's on! ladies on course now. the course looks really slick right now... gonna be interesting. by the sounds of it, Blenki's not racing, which is too bad caus' the conditions might have favoured him...
