Canadians are not open to opening the border with the USA for the foreseeable future.

no one wants us
Meh. If they wanted to they could. All they have to do is test people.
I'd say that's how we do it in america because money is more important than the commons but then again you see where we are at the moment.

The US is SOL, thats their problem for racing, not ours.
dak and neko could probably pass for canadian
Is there anything that we can bargain with? Freedom fries? Salmon?
if there are any americans left then...

Hey, plenty of us will be alive, just brain damaged and wheezing.
Business as usual really.
The pessimist in me thinks that travel restriction rules would be bent for professional athletes, but I sure hope not.
They already are. How do you think F1 is operating?
Most only ban “non essential” personnel, I’d bet mountain bike racing could be done without crowds if there were the financial will to do so. That’s the sticking point, F1 has private jet money, MTB racers barely have private van money, hard to get anywhere when commercial passenger flights aren’t running.
Maybe borrow Greta Thunbergs sailboat and put a North Shore rack on the stern? Transit time would count as self quarantine
we racin' at windrock son. send yo canadians down to da souf.The US is SOL, thats their problem for racing, not ours.
The Colorado cartel accepts your challenge.
Border is closed... and that’s a hell of a hike!
Trails we built and opened in 2018, on the Hillside next to Hilltop ski area, they are dedicated directional DH trails with features (plus a dedicated "up" trail). Some are flow, some are tech, one is mixed. Nothing huge, but enough that you can get good use of an AM type bike. The RFX is for sure the rig. I made the mistake last year of putting on my air shock for "faster pedaling" and couldn't stick to a nasty off-camber root section. Not making that mistake again. I can hold my own on the fatbike in gravel races, but no one is riding a hardtail at speed on some of these. The owner of Fatback Bikes is putting it on (also sells Kona, Yeti, RM, Pivot, and a few others). The strava concept is that timing for an enduro is extremely complicated with "stages", yet defining the stages in strava and having everyone just record their ride yields times for all segments and is fairly easy to record. It looks like we've been able to overcome the inherent issues and this is not meant to be some crazy precise deal, more of a grassroots fun deal. I think it's limited to 50 people.

BC already said they wouldn't bend the rules for the NHL when Vancouver was in the running to be one of the bubble cities, so no way they are going to bend any rules for a bunch of kids on bicycles. This rules out Kidwoo's idea of a multi race series around BC.

Horrific conditions made for some exciting moments.

DH will always be better to watch but I'll be honest - despite the clips you showed, Melamed was fucken hauling considering the conditions. The 3:30 mark onwards looks slippery as hell
Looks like Marine Cabirou caught the CoronAIDS at her first race this year.
Bubbles or not, in Jesse's video no one in the start hut or finish had a mask on. Are they really going to prevent the spread of it, if someone had the corona?
Also curious about those trails. Is that a bike park or public type trails? Because they look trashed. I'm not a weather nazi, but do race series like these do any post-race maintenance or do they just pack up and leave?

Usually the race organizers have to have a plan in place to restore the trails. This is part of their event permit.
jesse's pov vid is much better than the pb "highlights" one, which looks like a bunch of joeys picking their way down a mediocre trail.
Really? Here they just trash shit and leave.
Given the number of top tier riders that couldn't be in attendance, there were in fact additional Joey's picking their way down.
And mediocre trail? That is the spirit of Enduro
Rampage cancelled.
