Barel will be dangerous for sure and probably will take it. But I hope for Minnaar, he was damn quick last year at Bill's.

So sad to hear about Steve Smith (North Americas great white hope ;) ).

This is pretty fun. Maybe it´s been discussed already. Not that I want to bring up the subject, but the Mojo-rider has a pretty helpless expression written all over his face, haha poor guy.

"downhill is all about aero-dynamics". He is so full of*_.

This is a whole other can o' worms to open up, but it's a race. Fastest wins, and aerodynamics on a course like Ft Bill will make a big difference.

I agree with you^. But to say that skinsuit or not, separate riders because of aerodynamics is not generaly true, for the majority of tracks.

Ok, I stop here. It´s been brought up too many times. Pardon me.

"You won 1 world cup in 1992 Rob, and made a 20 year career out of it!"

I'd say it's pretty darn good!

15 US riders(7 from Colorado) on the start list, I wonder how many will make the cut in qualifying?

Is qualifying tomorrow morning with the finals live on Freecaster later in the afternoon?

I love the name of the Album it's on; Return to Cookie Mountain. I dare you to say it and not smile.

Anyway, the Freecaster videos won't play on my Comp...they just sit there any load forever and never play. I'm kinda sad.

I love the fact that despite some commanding performances by Sam in the past year or so, this is still anyones race. Minnaar, Peat, Atherton, Hill, Kovarik, Barel? Gonna be good.

I'm not sure this is depressing or inspiring...

http://freecaster.com/live/1000006_1004825

Every so often I like to kid myself that I could've been a contender... :shocked:

(if only I'd started riding at 16 instead of 26, if only I wasn't so slow etc etc)

But really, the difference between these WC riders and the average joe is huge.


Looking forward to the race!

I'm also tipping Barel to win this one.

He was on the pace last round , but ran off course , crashed , picked up his bike , ran back up the hill to where he broke through the bunting and continued on only to lose by 4 seconds or so.

Thats impressive !

Sertainly did smile :) That song was the bomb, sounds like a Chicks On Speed production. Girly produced definately, lot of good girl rock/pop music has been comming in the last few years with that type of sound, Le Tigre etc.

Is that Matti? Very cool video. Too bad he got injured. He´s been consistent for so long with a little progression for each year. Also very impressed with how he has reached that level of riding so quick after resently breaking his back... Strong mind.
