I'm not keen on paying this shower of arseholes so in all likely hood probably won't even be watching WC DH finals this year.
Got offered a couple of free tickets for Ft Bill last week. But there'll be no accommodation left by now. Well certainly nothing affordable.

In other DH racing news. the first UK National was this weekend in Rheola Wales on what looked to be a very wet track.

Jordan Williams taking the win.

Considering that most people in this forum are trying to relive 2007, a year off is quite refreshing.

I dont blame you, the WC's are fuckin shit to go to now.

 

[Avy]

I dont blame you, the WC's are fuckin shit to go to now.

But the Worlds this year,buck on the course,I Have to see it? Gwin could be Racing it?

Will it be Discovery,or some other station? Do we even know?

Avy

 

[sethimus]

yes, some know

 

[Avy]

yes, some know

Some know what? With you’re fuckin special “some” know shit!

You are not “kewl” enough to state a one line sentence and feel like you made an impact on Any Topic.

I say Good Day.

If I recall correctly Gwin said that Worlds was his target this year.

Dunno about the US but Worlds wasn't covered by Redbull/Freecaster as it is usually broadcast via each countries cycling governing body. (British Cycling here and presented on TV by the BBC)

Yeah,I do have BBC,I must. My time in the Middle East only had BBC. I grew up with it. So now it reminds Avy of the Good Ol Day’s. I listen to it on the Radio as well. The only other shows were Betty Boop,black and white cartoon,and Flipper. Flipper was a Dolphin,this MotherFucka was All World. He was the Lassie(the Dog) of Water.

I‘m tryin to dial in that Race if nothing else. I am hopefully going to pay the price for the season,but it seems too fucking much. I am also hoping for a deal to pop up?

I was tryin to member the Worlds in Canada? It was on the Olympic Channel here in the States. I saw that one. I still get that channel.

Who has the final call on what channel/platform It will be on? Worlds that is. UCI right?

Why the Fuck can they not get the channel together for every year? If you are a “Special” Race in a season,then get your Shit together!

Avy

 

[Avy]

If I recall correctly Gwin said that Worlds was his target this year.

I did not hear Brother,Thank You. Where was that?

Avy

 

[Gary]

Yeah Avy. We had flipper here too. It wasn't a bbc show though shown on BBC1 in the morning during their kids TV timetable. It was American. I remember tons of kids shows with animals as the lead in the 70s. Flipper, skippy, lassie, the littlest hobo, champion the wonder Horse, black beauty etc.

I listen to music almost continously and have Radio 6 on the kitchen from the moment I wake right until bed. (Spotify /Soundcloud when out the house)

One of the podcasts I think, try Vitalmtb's The Inside Line episode with him from March 2024 or The Downtime Podcast from November 2023.

That was a nice memory Gary. I hope those same days for you, we’re happy and clean. They were my last.

I was hoping you would give me more to chew on with this Worlds matter? I am upset with this upcoming season? What the Fuck?

TBH with just a couple of weeks until the first race I'm kinda over being interested in it. I unfollowed everyone with any connection to WC racing on social media early last season so only really hear any news about it through (actual) friends now.

Thank You seth. I don’t really go to any other bike site. I try to stay on top of a podcast of different riders,but really don’t do that. I have no time. Up at 4am,50hr work week,OT on Sat to try and keep my head above water. I come here after I get home for about a 1/2 hr a day. I do not have or use Instagram,no Facebook. I am not Savy with the dam internet. My first cell phone is the one my new job gave me less than 9 mounths ago. I have a IPad. I did have a flip phone for 25 years on my last job that the Owner gave me. Before that it was NexTell walkie talkie and phone. I Loved that NexTell.

So,I thank you again for that nice Link. I read it All,most of it was a repeat,but All my questions were answered. For me,this Site has Everything you need to know about the Bike World,with a little salt thrown in.

Looks like Gee raced the Sea Otters for some fun.

https://www.pinkbike.com/news/results-downhill-sea-otter-2024.html

Does anyone think he'll race World Cups again? He's been out for what, 2 years now?

What about Rachel, is she going to come back? I imagine with the bike park, bike brand and mom life, there's probably not much need to really go through with that circus anymore.

Well, she won 10 national championships, 39 world cups, 6 world cup overalls, and 6 world championships... had a kid, started a bike park, founded a bike company... and came back and won on 3 weeks of training last year. Did another race the next week and immediately said 'fuck this' despite being clearly 100% competitive for the win and the overall.

I imagine she'll still show up for 1-2 races a year for another year or two before officially retiring.

 

[DaveW]

Like Musk, purchased a company, not founded.

 

[jonKranked]

didn't he more or less retire

That seems to be the case. Haven't heard of him in a while.

If you're going to give her credit for all that you may as well also say she won a few men's world cups, a men's world cup overall title, a couple of men's world champs and a men's UCI 4X race, after booking all the flights, accommodation and organisation for the whole race team and entourage as Team Manager. Broke her back then while she was bored single handedly dug a few Hardline tracks for Red Bull.
