So, I've been trying to keep up to date with the WC series. I noticed that an American by the name of Aaron Gwin placed 10th at Mt. St. Anne. Then today I learned that a certain Luke Strobel has placed 10th at the most recent World Cup race. Now AMERICA has two riders that could possibly be taking podium in the near future. Who do you think will make it their first?

Luke Strobel

I Agree, Luke is a pinner

Thats such a comment you would make

I would love to see Luke do it. Not only is he an american but he is from the northwest... woot woot, GO LUKE!

So, why not both? That would be double the sickness!

 

[SeaPig]

If your point is that it would be great to see a US rider on the podium, then it's great to see them both doing well.

I duno. I don't think either one of them have a chance to get a podium at aus. I think if they have a chance it will be at schladdming, its fast and turny which Luke is great at and has its really fast rough stuff that Gwin kills it at. My guess is that it will happen at Schladming.

Strobel

If Luke doesn't get there first he won't like that to much

[richhouseman]

It's on at Schladdinger!

open this up and scroll down past all the video stuff. there is a breakdown of the top50 or so racers. strobel is just below steve smith in 30 something. i din't realize he was that far up the ranks................

2 top ten finishes in his first year of DH and an 8th in the finals.
How can you not vote for Gwin. This kid is one of the most promising riders today, (besides blenkinsop of course).

Aaron Gwin for the win.
