[ZoRo]

Mr loPants.

Typical Lopes low style! Loving it!

 

[jaffro]

I was looking at the race schedule, and I'm confused. Do downhillers out of the top 80 really only get 2 hours on race day to practice?


Never mind, I found the Saturday session

MSA Day 3 up from Svenos and Damobits - 3 audio clips and Steve Peat's new TLD helmet that you can buy!

[homepiece]

I said I'd never shoot this corner again, I lied.

Peaty back to running the blacked out maxxis minions.

 

[rosenamedpoop]

Usually runs blacked out High Rollers

 

[dante]

Usually runs blacked out High Rollers

that's definitely a minion f on the front, but might be a HR rear?

 

[rosenamedpoop]

Yeah they are both Minion DHFs, just saying he usually uses High Rollers.

 

[BC VAN]

Wow, only 28 riders started the 4x.

watch matti in the last clip into the right hand berm...PFFFFT!!!

 

[Whoops]

Nice updates - thanks guys

 

[bizutch]

Anybody besides me think that the top dog in all of DH, Sir Peaty, wearing straight up retail kit is just plain sad?

 

[stiksandstones]

4x, might just be the shortest lived sport ever?

 

[BC VAN]

naw, In Line holds that crown....if this keeps up could be a strong 2nd though

 

[rosenamedpoop]

Oh god, please let UCI see the light and bring slalom back.

 

[rosenamedpoop]

watch matti in the last clip into the right hand berm...PFFFFT!!!

Both berms so pinned! His win gave him some time out of the shadow of the South African flag, maybe he'll spread his wings a bit now.

 

[BC VAN]

Oh god, please let UCI see the light and bring slalom back.

they can't really bring it back as they never really did slalom....they were always "unofficial" run by the organizer of each event and they had worse turn out's then the 28 this weekend at St Anne.

 

[rosenamedpoop]

That's so weird, it's such a spectator/camera friendly event. Plus with so much emphasis on cornering skill rather than holeshoting, I would imagine more DH only pros would embrace it.

 

[ekozy39]

Off-topic, but speaking of slalom they should bring it back to the NMBS

 

[caballero]

awesome coverage by transcend and littermag ... thx !

weird....in europe, saxena builts some ****ty tracks and there are always about 70 starters in 4X...

MSA has a nice looking 4X and nobody want's or is able to ride there... 28 riders is a joke..half of them being euros and also some guys that normally only do DH (minnaar, rennie,..)...

Oh god, please let UCI see the light and bring slalom back.

slalom is really cool but why should riders that are able to jump big and very technical stuff only roll around some corners ??

[c2001]

do you guys think lack of MTX riders is because DH and MTX are on the same day? that'd be a long day if you wanted to be competitive in either event.

slalom is already back at nationals (some of them anyways).

You have no idea what a spectator sport is. The Dual takes so f'n long that usually the spectators leave before the final. Maybe DH racers want to watch DS, but the crowds love 4X and that is proven. Also the holeshot has been eliminated with small first straits and multiple passing opportunities on Phil sUxena's courses. So when you know what your talking about, THEN you can voice your opinion.

I have talked to some of the guys who usually race both, and that is the reason behind some, also the crashing on the DH course caused seven people to DNS yesterday. When the sign up list was origionally posted there were 45 riders. Since then so many riders have pulled their entries.

Also slalom is gay instead of 4X, but should be run as well.

"Proven"???? How so do you say!

Most of my friends would much rather watch DS than 4X because there is actual racing and drama involved. 4X can be very boring because the course is too often one-lined and everyone just takes inside corners. There is no actual racing going on and comes across as boring.

Bottomline, if the course for either is exciting, making the racing exciting, the spectators will enjoy themselves.

 

[ridea]

is it semis coming in at the moment or finals?

 

[Pbody]

Semis!

Go Decline Team America!!!!!

Where's the ususal link to live scoring? All I can find is the Top 10.

Isn't he also a current Yeti rider?

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

peat just qualified faster than anyone and he was kinda cruising the bottom of the course. fyi.

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

yes, current yeti rider.
