PA as in Pennsyltucky?
Yeah, Dirtfest.
Danny Hart looks fast in his british slice of pie part. He will be in the top 5 I say.
I know it's a long ways out, but sunny for practice and rain on raceday seems to be on tap:
I don't know that's a good thing or a bad thing. it could go both ways...

Will be heading to the airport when mens finals are due to start 
Thanks man!
i'll admit, i clicked it, somehow, in the back of my alcohol-riddled brain, somehow hoping it would magically time-travel me to sunday morning and live racing, and was just a little bit sad when it did not.
i guess, if i'd really thought on it, that i'd have realized it's in no way possible, since the 919-livin', cousin-kissin', evil genius aka @jackalope has not yet posted the preview analysis...
Sorry.
Bikes, beer, camping and friends. What could go wrong?
huge crowds, dentists, slow riders. seriously, have you read anything about dirtfest?Bikes, beer, camping and friends. What could go wrong?
Could be worse. What will you be doing that weekend?
not being pissed off at being stuck behind slow dentists.Could be worse. What will you be doing that weekend?
also that's like a week before my second kid is due.
It's all Fox's fault.".... a one-off design they call ISO-AB (Asymmetric Boost) ..."
Will 2016 be the last year a race was won on 27,5"?
Will 2017 be the last year a race was won on tires?
I have it from the highest authority that 60% of the time, tracked bicycles are faster every time.
Dirt is done as far as I'm concerned. Bought Rad to make up for the hundred or so Dirt mags I gave to a local kid, but their new content is super shill clickbait or short and pointless articles. Wish they'd come around, used to be refreshing, now not so muchThey're probably focused on putting out their e-bike enduro fantasy league, and don't have time for dh at the moment.
rollover is a misnomer only used incorrectly in the cycling industry it seems. For bikes, the term roll applies to roll center aka cornering, not rolling over objects. for every other engineer it means an actual rollover, or in helicopter terms something else. Marketing claptrap.
Oh well. Can't wait for the race to see how these big wheels roll over stuff!
and hold up to the abuse those boys and girls can dish out without weighing so much as to outweigh (see what I did there) the supposed benefits of the size.
What would be awesome is if course designers put in multiple sections where you have to bring your bike to a stop, and then get going again (like a 90° uphill corner or something) so that the big wheels would take so long to get going again that their advantage would be lost. as long as they don't put the cameras on that section, I'd be fine with that!
yeah, let's fuck up DH racing to make it better.and hold up to the abuse those boys and girls can dish out without weighing so much as to outweigh (see what I did there) the supposed benefits of the size.

Doesn't cairns have something like that?and hold up to the abuse those boys and girls can dish out without weighing so much as to outweigh (see what I did there) the supposed benefits of the size.

looks like one rider is down before the WC season even starts
Heal up quick Angel.Oh man, he really has some bad luck. Hope he is coming back stronger.
Seems like a nice kid with the right attitude.
That track looks nice, though. Hell yeahh, racing is back!
snowscoot anyone?
not better. more "core".

Sounds exactly like an O-Cup race.
