Thanx for the replies guys.
afinishedproduct has some of me in the last turn to the finish line, but they only got a few of the awards ceremony. None of my class.
I was plate 505, Beginner, Men 40+.
I am specifically looking for a podium shot at the awards ceremony.
I won my class, but my...
Anyone here know who might have been shooting at Nationals at Mt.Snow last year?

Yup.
I run it on my DH bike. I've found it much harder to break in a crash with your knee, plus its faster to dump or load the full cassette if you need to.
Plus its very simple and light.
I've never had a mis-shift due to terrain or jumping/landing.
If the front feels soft and loose, then yes, increase the pressure. Rolling a tire is way under pressure, pinch flatting is low pressure + bad luck... Handling "feel" of the bike is all about tuning the tire pressure, everything else being equal. ( I also run michi's )

As for why Sam runs his backwards: By running his rotors backwards, he knows he can't trust his brakes, so he doesn't use them.
No brakes=Crazy speed
Just kidding by the way. Fix that rotor.
I've been doing EXACTLY what you are going to be doing, for 18 years.
Deuter is far and away the best choice out there. I can carry everything I need without having a pack that swings around, or crushes my chest, either loaded, or empty. Everything else I've ever used would have to be cinched...
I'm running Michi's with a ghetto set up, WTB speed disks, 16 front 24 rear, and the rear leaks a tiny bit, the front's been fine. No sealant. They aired up very easily. One thing I noticed though, when the rear went flat 'cause I ignored it for 10 days, the tire was completely loose, in other...
Dude, assuming none of that is speeded up (and it doesn't look like it was...) that was awesome footage.
Mad Props. Totally captured the speed and reflexes required for fast DH.
I'm not actually bashing on the promoter. I understand that this is a money making proposition, that it's a race with a lot of history, and a lot of money gets spent to make it happen.
The promoter deserves to make some serious money if they can.
I'm just discussing/sharing my view on...
That Bag 'O Cool Crap won't cost the promoter anything, other than the job of filling it.
Does their version of a catered lunch include linens and real silver?
