I did pretty much the same thing in FRI practice, but I clipped a pedal while gapping the rock to Mike's right. Smashed up my leg, and didn't race. That course was no fun. Only pain. Whistler sure is a lot more fun than that.

Most of the teams went directly to Mont Ste Anne for the World Cup. They have to be there Tuesday afternoon to setup.
yep, i'll be there! flying to baltimore tomorrow, then driving up to Quebec w/ Damian Breach.
i crashed a ton just walking the mtn! arrrrrggghhh!
Yeah, thats what I gathered from seeing some of the results.
LaytonDH, did Pete make it down all right? If so, perhaps the tides have turned...
M forest is ok, he split open his hand pretty badly but its all stitched up now, poor dude got LTFU!
That crash was one of the most savage things I've ever seen.... you guys must have eaten well that morning.

23rd and rode the bottom 1/3 of the course with a flat. I have a problem keeping air in my tires while in Utah. 3 races, 3 flat tires.
I need to go have a good cry right now.

first giant rider was ripp'in, rando or ameil?
at least your hand doesn't look like THAT ▲▲▲
my god that is savage... look like cherry fillin in there, nice to here from you mc, i am all og in or this summer but ill be back in sept to air it out! dont worry i am still eating conti-dank and riding sadda sketchy! take care, cya
I heard that Fox was on their way but got pinched by the fuzz and their driver didn't have a CDL. Driver was arrested, trailer is supposedly impounded until it's sorted out. Can anyone confirm this?
And that was with gloves on?
Last I saw FOX runs a non CDL rig (dually and featherlite). Manitou guys years ago had this scenario happen (freightliner rig) and simply was impound and CDL driver needed to pick up, he was not arrested.
I could be completely wrong, but I smell BS on that story.
forest, did that same thing to my hand a few years ago at snowmass in the parking lot pedaling into a big step up at mach 10 in gravel, hurts like a bitch
anyone have a true confirmation on this?! sure hope Mike didnt have to go through all that hassle!!!!!
I heard from a couple different mechanics that the rig was stuck somewhere in impound and the driver was in big trouble. They never did show up last weekend. That's why I'm curious if anyone can confirm the pit gossip.
if he did get yanked for all that, then yeah he is in big trouble, there are some serious fines with it and some regulations that the trucks need to abide by that I know some arent. I doubt he was arrested, but there can be some serious consequences for him and fox if he got in trouble with those things....
Fox is here...no truck.
yeah i think that they were possibly having a sprinter for MSA, not sure. I know that is the case for Mt. Snow. tracking down some sources that might have a better answer (as well as an email into the man himself) so will see what happens
Seems odd that they would not bring their big rig to the only north american world cup? I will wander over to the truck tomorrow and ask Fitzy what's up.
cool thanks man. seriously hope Mike doesnt have to deal with all that crap, would suck for all involved
Mike and the 'big rig' have been at the first two MSC races (Chalk Creek and Angel Fire), Fox is a pretty big sponsor of that series... so they may be at the Crested Butte race this weekend.
Dang Mike.. Heal up quick. Nasty looking crash, that rock double is way sketchier than video shows.
He is out with a broken scaphoid.
my how they grow up, he aint no junior no more... BTW got xrays yesterday, bruised, not broken
That's good to hear. How's the noggin? Fortunately, I know there's not much in there to damage.
You're talking about your ego right?
Yup, be back at it for Brian Head. Need at least one good race this season.
Sinator,
Sorry about the mistake regarding your riding category(junior vs. senior elite), no disrespect intended. I just remembered seeing you riding in junior category for the USA in Rotorua and was unsure of your age. Glad to hear the injury won't keep you down for long. Are you still based in SLC?

No, the Senator is not Andrew. He's Andrew's dad.
Good idea because 3.2 is playing you. Sinator J is NOT Andrew's Dad. If that was the case Andrew would be bold...
Yeah hopefully Andrew will heal quick though!
Um right, yea I think you have Andrew and myself a little mixed up. My name is JP and I am a slo pro from AZ. No worries tho, it is the year of the Go-Ride curse as far as limbs go.
