while we're all floating on different tangents in a world of speculation and not that anyone cares but I think its cool to see this podium with all clipless riders, kind of goes against that whole JUNIOR-EX-GNAR-BROBRAH-FOOTOUTFLATOUT-thing

Sorry who?
I dunno some MX guy. Let's critique the JR X Worlds podium.
You have to be 17 or 18 years old to qualify for a world cup or world champs...he just turned 17 so this was his first year of eligibility.
Little sulky sure, but think of how screwed he was, surprised he didnt go after the lil ****
*edit* attn masterofgroms why was he training for this race for FOUR years, isnt there 1 of these each year? Why is this 1 so important?
His long term goal is set on Nico's 10 world championships which included a dominant junior run. I am not certain, but I think he won two of them as a junior.
I also believe Nico's last junior race time would have placed him first in ELITE men's
Damn some big shoes to fill good for him.
It's also common knowledge that Nico Villoux is an Alien.I also believe Nico's last junior race time would have placed him first in ELITE men's

My Neko is Human...I was there to see him emerge!
So...where do we suspect gwinny is going to land?
Good to hear, i would say that his chances next year should be good, IMO .06 isnt a skill difference, its a chance difference. Hope to see him up there
Well I'm routing Intense. but thats just so I can get him to drive up here with his his factory M9 and shoot some images on a hairy local trail! Also USAx2 deal would be killer.It's also common knowledge that Nico Villoux is an Alien.

huffy
I say GT, Id like to see intense but I think GT.... He seems like a DH not a M9 guy.....
Either way it will be great to see him killing it on any bike and curious to see if he matches the bike any better then he seemed to on Yeti... He rode the yeti well, fit his style...
And Demo9: Definently Mongoose as a contigency offer he has iron horse in hte bag...

Guarantee that wasn't written by Gwin, Yeti, Intense or anybody else in the know...
Nico Voullioz won 3 titles as a junior, which you can't do nowadays with the new age rules. Sam Hill would be getting pretty close to Nico's record if he won that race in Val di Sole '08. Good on your son for taking his young career so seriously. He'll learn a lot from his new team mate Gwi....
the sleuthing skills are high with this one
are you sure? seems pretty legit to me
it was more likely written by demo 9.
For a number of reasons, I don't think we'll see a repeat of what Nico accomplished in what is essentially a new era of downhill. Nico's success was in part due to a consistent application of new technology; the playing field is a bit more level now.Nico Voullioz won 3 titles as a junior, which you can't do nowadays with the new age rules.

Fer shur, it was all the bike...
You guys got it all wrong. Gwinny's quitting dh and taking up rally car racing.
Didnt write it, but i agree with it. Im not the only with with these feelings.Why are you dragging me into this

sorry, just kidding. just seen you post similar stuff. supposed to be a joke.Didnt write it, but i agree with it. Im not the only with with these feelings.Why are you dragging me into this
it was also in part because he was far far better than everyone else.
Did anyone let some terrorist on this forum because my thread has been hijacked.
Absolutely - I don't want to be dismissive of that. I'm just saying that a number of factors played into his dominance, and particularly his run of Worlds wins.
no shocker there
Finally back on topic! What's the deal with Neethling? Anyone know why he has left TWR?
interesting
Needles wanted to stay with Trek and Trek with him as I'm told. Martin strung him along for a few months until he had positively secured one of the riders he was after (Minnaar, Brendan, Gwin) for TWR. Trek has to have loved Needles marketability, performance, and willingness to work with media. Rumor has it there wasn't room left in the budget for both Needles and some un/necessary transportation purchases.
Here's to hoping Andrew finds a great ride. He's a multi-talented rider, dedicated to his craft, affable, and intelligent. In all, a real asset to anyone who could sign him up.
Well said and agreed. Good luck to all involved.
what?
