    2012 UCI World Cup DH Live Video

    Ok, so am I the only one wondering, with only a couple of weeks until the 1st round, what the story is going to be as far as live video coverage of this year's UCI world cup Downhill events? It's crickets out there right now. As most will recall, at the end of last year, the UCI announced...

    Limbo no more....

    To Scotty and Thad and all the others out there who helped build or even just loved to ride Limbo and Deadfall, my deepest condolences. Both of these trails are (or were) on my top 10 in the state, so it's a real blow, for sure. But hopefully out of the ashes a phoenix will rise. Keep us...

    Dirt Trek Downhill Fantasy League

    I think I'm in 2nd place, stoked, but can we trust the results? Seems like parts of the site still isn't reflecting the last round. http://dirtdownhill.com/team.aspx?page=view&id=3002775

    WC Round 1: Pietermaritzburg, SA

    Pretty disappointed about these freecaster issues too. Up at 4:15am here in Seattle :( Here's a link to the live timing on UCI's web site in case anyone wants it: http://static.sportresult.com/federations/uci/MTB/index.html?height=750&width=750

    ZTR Flow vs. 721's

    2nd that, I'm tubleless right now running Spec Hillbillys on one set of wheels and Butchers on the other, makes for quick changes depending on conditions. If I'm testing tires I swap to tubes, since the sealant can be a bit of a mess... But experience racing DH on tubeless has been pretty...

    ZTR Flow vs. 721's

    I've had experience with both and found that the ZTR rim, built right and maintained, will last as long or longer than the 721. As you point out, neither are going to take the abuse of heavy DH rim, but myself and the 12 other riders on my team race them all season long and we feel that the...

    Nevada State Championship DH & SD 2-19/20,2011 @ Bootleg Canyon

    Thanks Mike! Looking to make it down from Seattle for this race and wondering if you have had any luck securing hotel support? Plan is to fly down, so also trying to decide if it's necessary to get a rental car. Any thoughts on more cost-effective transportation?

    2011 NWCup series dates announced!!

    Really great to see! I'm hoping, with the ProGRT being the weekend prior to Sea Otter, and the 2nd Hood Race one week before Crankworx, we'll have a good turnout of people traveling early to get to these bigger events come and enjoy some classic PNW downhill racing!

    Speed Kings Trailer

    Just watched it Bob, couldn't agree more. Had seen Hart through there in a diferent vid, but from this angle it's even more retarded!

    2011 US National Champs - DH/4X Venue ??

    We have similar opinions Kyle, pretty much agree with all those recommendations, except, I wouldn't be happy to see the west coast lose it's turn to host since there's a bunch of fast locals that need to experience Nationals for the first time and would potentially become hooked on going to...

    2011 US National Champs - DH/4X Venue ??

    I'm curious to know what people think would be a good location, and why. It's also interesting to discuss why a certain location wouldn't be a good choice. Like, why not Northstar for example?

    2011 US National Champs - DH/4X Venue ??

    Good idea. I tried emailing her and she's out of the office with events until Oct 20, so I wonder if there will be much progress made on the venue selection in that time frame (if it in fact hasn't been decided already). Collegiate champs are one of the events, and they are being held at...

    2011 US National Champs - DH/4X Venue ??

    Does anyone yet know, or care to speculate what the venue for next year's DH and 4X National Champs will be? So far USA Cycling have only told us it will be a different event and venue to the endurance races (which is at Sun Valley, Idaho), and I have heard that it's supposed to be on the...
