Will be interesting to see how many guys try a little bike for PMB, although its worth noting that one and two at Worlds last year were on DH bikes. I'd also e-speculate that Grubby placed 3rd last year mainly due to his unbelievable fitness and comfort level with his 66, so I tend to doubt the same will hold true for Brendog. Regardless, I will be interested to see what tires guys will be running at PMB (e.g. will Minnaar run EXOs again given that he flatted, albeit at the very end?)

PMB gets updated track for 2014

http://mtbworldcupsa.co.za/news1403.html

"Playing his cards close to his chest, Hicks said he was planning a totally new track down the upper and lower sections of the track, with line changes that would make it more technical and challenging while not affecting the speed characteristics of the course.

"We will be introducing new log drops and rock gardens, as well as cutting out some of the bridge gaps," said Hicks as he and his team prepare to start working on the course changes.

"The course has not changed much over the last few years, and the changes will require some serious thinking on the top and bottom sections. It's not just going to be a highway," he added."

the Shaw brothers were in the top 10 in junior at most of the uci events last season. you could pretty much see one of them on the podium every race. North Carolina rippers!

Strange decision, she could have had a bright future in DH.
Not saying she couldn't have a bright future in XC as well, at least she should have above average bike handling skills.

2016 is only 2 years away. there's time to come back to DH if the skillz and drive are still there. Then she'll be fit as fvck. Or maybe combine the two and crush the 5th season of the EWS....

do yall remember the bad crash Feniak had on one of the large jumps last season in PMB? wonder if that scared her enough to think the risk in DH is too much for her?

Hey fellow monkeys, totally unrelated to this thread, but can you guys click on the link in my signature and vote for the funny pic that pulls up. Trying to win a uniform contest for my daughters softball team and it would really help.

It is literally ONE click.

Hoping there is love in here today and it would be better to pop in a thread or two of like minds (I may ask daily) than gut the forum with an unrelated, ignorable thread. ;)

Yeah...literally 1 click.

The least nonsense in sometime. What's the prize?
Her team would receive a complete uniform with any color/graphic combo they can think of and personally designed cleats from the ground up as well as a personal session with a member of Team USA Softball

voted, great prize!! i'd say thats sounds total custom, just might be missing the airbrushed lids. I would assume that would be a bit rare in dh, lol
