dang, so glad they are using bigger wheels and tighter fitted clothings these days, that looks horrible
it begins now...SNOWSHOE WC BITCHEZ
- Thread starter jstuhlman
- Start date
Lol, i should have specified. That akward rock gap doesnt look fun.
The other jumps I would hit so hard Id owe them child support
Indeed! Still waiting for pics of pissed drunk monkeys puking in a garbage can though...
Wait, what? I thought here at the moneky we don't like skinsuits and hate wagon wheels????
I personally like the old school stuff, M1 is such a classic bike.
Great pics! What a trip down memory lane. I remember later in the day for expert practice the track dried up a little into peanut butter and most bikes stopped rolling(on the FLAT bottom half of the track). I think people with 2.2 Wet Screams were the only ones that still rolled.
Damn, nearly as much spectators as at Trump‘s inauguration. That beer garden is packed!
Lol!
Enjoy the show !
Enjoy the show !
Yet another M1
Lens Sport!
Go-Ride. Once the go-to shop in the USA for dh gear online.
Into the wildzone. Super slick.
Who remembers Sobe drinks?
I was not wearing rain gear like the guy in yellow. Really coming down now. Think I've had about enough... as had the camera.
Roughly where the shots ended.
Nice job dump!
Just finished watching the replays. That was nuts.
Hahahah, what an epic finale to the season. Bruni better make sure Harts drinking hand is never empty at the afterparty.
I am sure those riders loves the flash. Nothing helps in dark technical sections like being blinded. But I enjoyed the pictures.
Yeah, tried to not flash right at the eyes, but yeah - was the only way in those conditions... and a thing in those days. Folks used to set up remote flashes and other craziness. I hope they are over it.

Sorry then. I've seen a lot of pushback after some riders mentioned the jumps look scary and I might have been a bit grumpy since there is a lot of talk of never being critical of the builder or the track. The jumps weren't super stupid, just strange to hear pros get freaked about them
How often do they race a course hardly anyone has ridden before? I am sure they were nervous about something new more than anything.
Two people literally compromised their spines last week in canada, but ain't nobody bitchin bout no rock drop.
They probably got deliveranced.Can’t believe we haven’t heard more from the folks attending. Expect a full report this week
I don't have all the good pics, but here's a few -
Despite what kidwoo thinks, Peat is a golden god and super approachable -
GM's deity status was also fully confirmed after recovering my precious, hand carved stone dildo (more on that later)
XC riders finsihing up a training ride right before my semi-inebriated ass passed them on my squeak wagon...turns out beer and cigarettes are in fact PEDS
Guess someone isn't a big fan of big huxxx and subsequent ragdoll crashes
We asked Laurie if he still for sale, and if so, could we buy him?
A majestic way to end the post race pit party for @SuboptimusPrime and pal
In short, it was a transcendent experience that I can't recommend enough. We *may* have walked the track at night, and while the infamous jumps do look visually intimidating, the pros (including Marine and Tracey) made them look easy. The sheer magnitude of the road gap up top was surreal. Likewise, the skill and pace that all these riders have is simply beyond comprehension and must be seen in person to be believed. Now if I could only get Ed Masters to return my disco sunglasses

They pointed out the jumps specifically. On courses like VDS, MSA or Champery the point out the speed, roughness, steepness etc.
In talking to them afterwards, they weren't worried about it...at all. Again, they were visually imposing at first blush, and like Westy said, the whole track was new to all of them except Neko, Dak and maybe a handful of other "local" guys. Hell, Danny indicated he wasn't inititially thrilled with the course after the track walk, then started riding it and ended up not only liking it, but winning the fucking race.
Anyway, Peat and me really bonded over the stone phallice and banquet beers
Likewise, this chick was pretty enamored with my shirt (and my handsome visage one must assume), so we traded shirts...
Shit got weird...mistakes were made.
