Leogang 2021!!!
- Thread starter slyfink
- Start date
I think I said this last year for the World Champs race, but I'm still surprised most riders appear to be running clips rather than flats. I think Amaury was running flats (at least in practice), but damn if I wouldn't be going full Sam Hill at that place (says the guy who runs flats on CX bike).
And all funnies aside, there is some serious genital assaults going on in that stump garden. No wonder almost none of these people have children.
over the weekend some dude at my local bike park told me i must have a few screws loose for riding clips for DH.
Response: Thanks for the tip dude!
at least he didn't make fun of me for riding 26" wheels.
Even as someone who is now all-flats-all-the-time, I can certainly see riding clips on certain tracks and/or in certain conditions. Hell, up until a couple years ago I rode DH with clips myself. I will still have occasional moments in seriously chunky, rocky sections that my feet get knocked off my flat pedals, which besides being pretty scurry, can lead to a really awkward body slam (ask me how I know). But for most tracks, I still prefer flats, and even moreso if its muddy and slippery. But for Leogang I would opt for mud skis and an athletic cup.
Reminds me of a time @ZoRo saw a guy riding an old Intense M1. Genuinely excited, he said something to the effect of, "Wow, nice bike. You don't see those every day. That thing belongs in a museum!" It was intended as a compliment, but the guy seemed offended and rode off without saying a word!
Good points guys. You'd think the vast majority of the fastest DH riders in the world would check with Ridemonkey before choosing their pedals.

Perhaps if we had a forum for skills and technique they would have more reason to check in?
I rode spuds for everything including DH for years. Switched to flats full time a number of years ago and recently tried spuds again and couldn't handle not having my mid-foot over the spindle.
A few head knocks seems to be a prerequisite also.
Best part of the race calendar as always
Harrison out with a broken arm. I jinxed him by putting him on my fantasy team.
Source?

We're officially in fuck spoilers mode right? Before we discuss what just happened?
Actually fuck anyone dumb enough to open a thread on RM about the race expecting there to not be spoilers.
Gutted for Vali, but fuck me Camille's run was perfection. I'd kill to pull a run that clean in my life.

How much are they showing of each rider? 45-50 seconds out of 3 minutes?
90% of which is in the last minute, but still not too badHow much are they showing of each rider? 45-50 seconds out of 3 minutes?
Watching Brock's run was painful.
EDIT: I still can't believe the guy was almost paralyzed a couple years ago.
