now imagine when it inevitably gets stained with mud splatter.
spomer just posted that it sounds like he is gonna line up for qualifying
"an hour ago loic posted a riding photo and "MSA QUALI" to insta stories, so would appear he's good to go. let's hope so!"
seems like a lot of companies are going with slim fit for some reason. i had to size up on a pair of TLD sprint pants this year b/c they were too tight on my thighs.
Given my age and ever-accumulating adipose tissue, I prefer to call my kit "shim fit"...As @Udi might say - "I am the fat shaft"
Balanche out! Fuck. She has been ripping this year.
Sorry, if it's well know and I'm just out the loop...but what's going on with Tahnee Seagrave?
I know she had a concussion earlier this year. Is it still the reason she's not racing? If so, that must have been a bad one and I hope she is getting better!

spomer just confirmed Loic is on course practicing ahead of qualifiers.
It's good that we're finally giving TBIs the attention they deserve in the sport.Sorry, if it's well know and I'm just out the loop...but what's going on with Tahnee Seagrave?

Andrew Shandro's son (Ethan?) had a bad one a few years ago after some good junior WC race results, and hasn't been back to racing since. Not sure if it's directly related or not.
those are here in so many towns, apparently part of the swiss school sports education
we're finally getting a local one along with a skills park. CANNOT WAIT.
Nice and that looks big.
I was told they are also putting in a permanent slalom course too, as part of the sea otter crap coming there in September. Any sight of that?
Haven’t gotten past the pump track. Will report back. It’s a double pump track. Beginner and advanced.
He also said, “this is the best pump track I’ve ever been to” after several rounds. And I agree. The steepness of the bumps and the angles of the banks are great. Nice work VS.
Looks like there is one, but it’s not fully flagged atm. I see small jumps and berms, two tracks. Looks cool.

Typical Pinkbike bullshit. Easier to call someone out for misgendering than address the issue of M-to-F trans athletes potentially ruining women's sports (incl. DH). Fantasy DH is the only worthwhile thing on there.
Yeah. Yeah... And isn't it absolutely wonderful we humans now have the choice to pick and choose which of our past events others are allowed to remember and which may never ever be spoken of again?
Fuck the world!
I'm loving following the Jnr Mens competition. The battle between Jackson and Jordan this year has been epic!
hope dak and fearon are ok-both DNF
Loic's crash was in a "tame" section similar to Cammy. Sucks for the overall to not be decided against the clock.
sounds like it's more about pain that risk...
5 minute track is a lot to maintain full focus on I guess... seems that the worst injuries are from momentary lapses in attention when you go on "cruise control" and aren't fully focussed... sucks for all the injured riders, especially at this point in the season (so close to the end)...
I'm with you on that. Though Goldstone was 11s off Jordan's time... is he playing it safe for the overall, is he playing mind-games, or is Jordan that much quicker on this track than Jackson...?

trying to keep my expectations low to avoid disappointment, but damn, things are looking good...
Minnaar into 2nd...pretty much confirms he's an immortal vampire that somehow can function quite well in the daytime. Obviously if there was ever a WC race at night he would transform into a bat and win by a few minutes.
Really pulling hard for Finnley tho! Probably my favorite rider to watch (in a relatively non-creepy way)

Came off a drop and rode high over the edge of a berm.

so wait, he bare rimmed the last portion of the course and still came in 4th?
For what it’s worth, I read that on Pinkbike.so wait, he bare rimmed the last portion of the course and still came in 4th?
Jackson rear tire flatted and peeled the tire off the rim somewhere after the Split 4 section. He was up at Split 4.
just 7 camera plattforms for such a long course 
"sorry"just 7 camera plattforms for such a long course
