Fort William 2024 Race
- Thread starter canadmos
- Start date
But will it be the last? Heck, will there be any full-race DH bikes left in 10 years besides ones welded up by current or ex-racers out of passion?
Seems like they're over-the-top baggy. Earlier in the year I saw Mick Schumacher at some race in the Mercedes garage with really baggy jeans and I was like WTF. But then I remembered I've been almost completely detached from pop culture for at least a decade.
as a custodian of a couple teenagers, i have to bite my tongue when it comes to commenting on the excess fabric yardage they're currently sporting - recalling the consternation i subjected my parents to through various stylistic phases.
JNCO!!!
thankfully neither of my teens is into the rebirth of this horrible trend...
Went halves on an account with a football mad family member so I'm sorted for this weekend thankfully.
I can't believe they actually banned shorts. I can't wait till they fine riders for incorrect sock colours
No more Fox Dialed? Gold forks gonna sell themselves?
Seems my MAXXXX account is still giving me BR Zportz so guess I'll watch some racing.
Feeling very ambivalent about this year. Despite the STACKED fields (no Dak Norton pun intended), the live race coverage was so shit last year I'm loathe to turn the sound on. Though I've not seen any sign of Cedric "OOH LA LA, EEE's PEADALLINK ON DA PEDALS BY TURNINK EE's LEGS, HON HON HON" Gracia so there's that.
Christ, I am getting old.

saw somewhere cedric's out and gwin's in for the english commentary...anyone else confirm that?
gwinn doing commentary on the 1st 4 rounds whilst he's still in recovery mode (not racing).
confirmed they killed dialed? sucks if so, love that series.
oh - one kid has a very JNCO-esque pair of pants (what comes around, etc). like you can carry ipads in the pockets.

Fashion is just a cycle where teenagers wear the dumest shit they find in their parents closet that they had as teenagers.
But the reality is that in a horsepower limited speed sport, aerodynamics matter, especially when podiums spots are fractions of a second different.

Ok First,these “bibs” they are going to wear are stupid. Why? Because there is a shirt over it. So when the Ladies or even boy’s,have Togo Pee! It is a bit of a problem. Fucking Bibs. Baggy or Tight clothing for them,I do not care. I Love um both,different era’s. What is fucking stupid is to wear a Fucking Bib! No need,pants and a shirt will do. Who the Fuck has the Final Call on this?
Did you see Tonya on Vital laying out her Uniform in the Pretty Pink? For Fuck’s sake,when she said, “it will be a bit of a problem for the Bathroom”,my Heart just sank. No Shit it is a problem! Enough Avy.
Why is Gwin not using his wrench? When he comes back. Is there a problem Avy is not aware of?
Love seeing Reece back and his Bike look’s Proper.
Amaury Is Back.
Where is my favorite Frenchman?
Luc’s Bike is Ugly. What bothers me most is those wimpy ass Top Pivot Links,they look soooo out of scale? Look at it. What the Fuck?
I am worried about the Future of our Sport,but the World seems tobe right in line with it.
Avy
that's why you gotta peg your jnco kit. duh.
That would imply I ever had a jnco kit.
Actually I was blissfully unaware such things existed until a few years ago when a friend shared an old picture of him wear such a get up. There was much pointing and laughing.
Yeah, I didn't even see that. TBH, I didn't even see the top tier menu of theirs until now. (way to nail the UI/UX MAXXXXX
). Guess I'll be watching. Juniors are like around 4.25am my time. Breakfast burrito margaritas it is then.
If no one see's a race other than some Scottish sheep molesters, did it actually happen? Maybe we can go in the way back machine and have coverage broadcast on AM radio like a 1947 baseball game.
less than a swiss kebab
I know. I just work for a French and Fake French company so I am a bit grumpy at companies who have a tendency to say omlet du fromage.
Listening to tahnee talk about how good the speed suit was cringe. Downhill really was peak in about 01 to '10
Yes Jordi confirmed that Dialed was killed unfortunately 
That was one of my favorite things to watch every race weekend. I guess Fox didn’t have much spare money left this year with all the stock they still need to sell for so cheap.
At this point I’d resign pay 10-15$cdn per race instead but I won’t be paying 60$/month for a Flosports subscription.

Crappy merch sales is more important
watching "recovering" asa's vid from his first time at fort bill....shit. is anyone going to be able to hang with him in juniors? jewett? he was pasting the us pros here pretty regularly last year...
Jewett, that Kiwi kid Tyler Waite, the Alran bros, and Hauser all could be quick this year.
Finally a purpose to the internet other than jerking off.
Just kidding, still beating it.
Speedsuits!1!

Lol. In Poland, a country with half the wages of UK (and that's generous since in my position it would be x4) we have to pay 169pln so 42usd. There is also a 110$ package. I still don't understand why I continue living here.
On a different topic. The late qualifiers all get super slow starts. Is it windy as hell for the end of quality up top?

I haven't been paying for anything and will continue to do so. I'm over middle men getting added so that I can pay more money for a service I used to get for free while none of it actually makes its way to the riders for an overall worse product.
Any places to pirate or should I continue to just not really give a shit about DH racing any more and not watch?

so i‘m on my break, why are the semis not live as advertised? this is bullshit
tiz-cycling.com worked last year for the finals. Hopefully it does this year as well. I’m with you, no fucking way am I paying for a far inferior product. By all accounts this weekend, they seem to be fucking it up even more by taking away the free live semis.
I think last year the top 20 overall were protected for the first round.
But with this shit show, who knows?
