You Sure about that?! The Elite semis are on live right now. At least I think it’s live.
2023 Snowshoe WC
- Thread starter canadmos
- Start date
Comeon daaaaak
Shitty lockout is that thing where you really want to take a dump on the lift up, there is no toilet up top so you say "ok I will go at the bottom" but then the adrenaline makes you not want to poop anymore and the cycle repeats itself on the lift?
Daaaaaamn. Great race. Thank you Tiz Cycling.
fun to watch. i love snowshoe because it's so different than most of the other tracks and it'll catch anyone out at any time. stoked for the podium, great to see new faces (and not even jackson/jordan).
can't wait for the next moi moi tv...

Have you ever been to Snowshoe? It’s probably the flattest world cup venue since Canberra.
Shitty janky flat messes you need to absolutely commit for.
for real. only "steeps" there are 2 seconds in the "wild zone" and 2 seconds of basin side stuff like the beginning of aa bb etc (if they're even there anymore). otherwise is moderate jank you have to commit to pedaling into hard and holding on.
bucko is gonna sleep well tonight,sweet dreams Brother.
That was Crazy? I did not see the Finals run save the winner. Moi moi gona be jumpin,have a lash laddy,good for him.Danny broke my heart. Troy is not in his groove,who is this kid that rides for Nico? He is in Jr.s? I like this kid.
Avy
Asa will race Jr next year on Neko's team.
He's from Colorado and the real deal. No ginger hair, but on track to be the next Gwinner.

Crazy that he can win national champs enduro in pro class against Rude, get 2nd at US Open against Minaar & Co, but isn't even allowed to race juniors at world cups. How has he done against Pinkerton when they've raced?Asa will race Jr next year on Neko's team.

Pretty damn fast.....
Next year will be good, he has a killer support system and has already been around the world this year racing Crankworx stuff.

Just got back from a couple of days in the woods and watched the race. That was awesome. Amazing that each race this year has had a different winner.
As much as I'd like to see Finn win in MSA again, it would be amazing to see Loris win there and take the overall.
Not that I have anything against Bruni. Which btw, do we know how he is? Two errors in his race run seems uncharacteristic...

If this is the schedule next year, assuming MSA is one of those at the end, you could work Bromont into that trip.
Would be sweet. I'd definitely try to join in at Bromont...
Do we know what the third race outside of Europe is?
never heard of this place, any intel?
sounds amazing

Mt Vanhoevenberg is up in the High Peaks outside Lake Placid. I just hiked on the Vanhoevenberg trail to get to our campsite around Marcy Dam and the place is a friggin zoo this time of year. Its going to be stupid trying to organize a race there given how busy the place already is. For the life of me, I can't understand what they're thinking. (Well, I guess I can, it's all about the Benjamins, fuck the little people).
are there any decent bike trails there (yet)?
I don't know. The area around Lake Placid has always been a bit of a no-go area for mountain biking (outside of Whiteface) despite the wealth of potential. There's a lot of very rugged terrain there, so I'll assume they can make something amazing happen. I'm just surprised they've chosen that particular area (instead of the already well established Whiteface) to run the bike race. It's a very (very) popular hiking destination. When I left yesterday, there were 1000s of cars parked along the road to the trailhead. Why would they add to the mess that's already there?!
Lake placid itself has hosted two winter Olympics already so you'd have to assume they have the capacity to absorb a bike race...

Where'd you get that scoop? I've been unplugged a few days
I heard about it from a guy who loves riding lead moto at xc races. Local, organic freerange organizing committee, sounds like.
Deep pockets and backdoor dealings are status quo for the High Peaks area... Considering the UCI is a cartel this makes perfect sense.
For those that haven't been to the high peaks area, the North Country is a super depressed area, but it's gorgeous too and I suppose the rich folk need their entertainment. The area recently spent the last few years spending an assload of money to "renovate" the entire town for the University Games on the promise of economic development'.

I’m assuming it’d be at Whiteface if there was DH? Doesn’t look like Mt Van Hoevenburg has a lift or trails. Probably just XC like Mickey said.
Whiteface is close to 5000 feet with 3400 vertical foot drop. Big hill.
Edit: for out this way.

that's plenty big for anywhere in the US
and don't let those colorado dorks who are obsessed with the number 14 tell you any different
Can you put those numbers in some more common units, such as libraries of Congress?
This was the first time I have attended a WC event and I must say that I have been missing out.
The entire event was amazing, the venue/terrain the riders/riding the crowd/atmosphere.
Couldn't have had more fun but I think I am gonna try again.
