we should start a thread about what we're tired of seeing in videos:

-pushing uphill
-slow motion panoramas of scenery
-time lapse shots of clouds, rivers, etc
-working on bikes
-drivetrain closeups waiting for someone to "drop in"
-driving places to ride
-taking a ferry someplace to ride
DONE!

Sorry for almost derailing this thread.

in a single wide, cooking meth...
I will be god damned, I always thought it was Gordon's fish sticks. Gorton's huh? You have salvaged an otherwise disaster of a day for me. I will severely overcook a box of Gorton's in the Beech parking lot at the next race in your honor.

I wonder how many snacks the average WC pro eats over a race weekend?

I'd like to see Gwin cook some fishsticks on his brake rotors after a run

Is there any correlation to the KTM/TroyLee kits I see TLD coming out with any of this? Or has there always been a KTM/TLD edition gear?

1st race of the year (Fontana) is Sunday with official practice tomorrow. I saw Aiello and Palmer up there today. Wonder if Gwin will show up and what he'll ride. I don't think he's raced there in a few years but I see him come to the Saturday practice sessions for truck laps.

No idea why Gwin doesn't go and do what Nico did 16 years ago and make his own Bikes and race team to shut everyone up about where he's going.

The Vprocess bikes were amazing and thats why Commencal have gone back to 2000 and basically built the NV00 with modern angles.

because making bikes costs money and new ones are good enough that you don't have to build them from scratch?

Nuthin relevant to this thread. I was only there Saturday for Super D but still saw all the usual DHers, excepting Gwin.

My friend had the new DVO Monarch+ style shock. It looked good and he used it to beat me by a second.
