I'd love to see Gwin get a world champs win, but my money's on Minnar. Dudes a machine. The original Syndicate can go out in style.
val di frickin sole, mofos!!!
- Thread starter jstuhlman
- Start date
what's with the double taping? wreck beyond the first tape and you're effed; wreck beyond the second tape and you're super-effed?
I guess the second one it's there to keep the hecklers at bay.
yea, course, then photogs, then the serfs
Jamie Goldman, Nathan Rennie, Kirt Vories, and Henry O'Donnell are retiring?
Everyone's talking about Luca Shaw on the Syndicate. It doesn't sound like they're closing up.
I guess Peaty, Minnar and Ratboy are original to me. You old fuck.
Yeah, all signs point to Shaw on Syndicate. I'd love to see the Rat stay on board too. Or at least keep racing for any team.
track preview with claudio, peaty and warner. my old man brain says hell yea! my old man arms say no thank you.

the three stooges!
This is one real track right there. Absolutely love it.
6:30 AM EST. oof.
Yummy! Having watched Andorra in the Hospital I can't wait to watch Worlds at home, curious if I should try pain killers and beer to really enjoy the show.more like
Seeing Claudio and Peat let Warner stay ahead and then hearing him say 'they haven't passed me yet' made me think 'how cute' they were so capable of passing him many, many times if he wasn't such a giant tub of lard skidding his way down and stopping in the corners.
On that note, odd that he was on a commencal and not a giant.

tldr shoulder injury
beat me to it,
really looking forward to the race now, the track is blown out and its been carnage up there already and there's no rain on the way.
its going to be some wildcard winning it is my guess

Gee looked pretty wrecked at Andorra
That sucks for Gee. There are some shoulder injuries that you just can't ride through. I remember just trying to trail ride after mine this winter and spring, and I had zero business even being in the woods. Sometimes, it is not the pain that is the problem, but weakness. My shoulder was so weak and numb that I could not correct the handlebar at all. Imagine trying to do that coming down Val Di Sole. Impossibruu.
Thanks for making me feel old...
At least your memory is better than his. According to his sign up date, he should know all that shit.Thanks for making me feel old...
Someone is making too many trips to the bong shed..

I was joking. Sheesh. I'm probably older than both of you and them put together. 43. And yes, I should brush up on my historyAt least your memory is better than his. According to his sign up date, he should know all that shit.
maybe we should start an age thread, i mean we already have a headtube badge thread for some reason. maybe a 'show me your flat pedal pins' thread after worlds...I was joking. Sheesh. I'm probably older than both of you and them put together. 43. And yes, I should brush up on my history
Speaking of showing your age. This is pretty awesome:

Holy hell that looks brutal.
Stop talking about Rennie or a bunch of old drunken Ridemonkies are gonna be all "Rennie could come back at Worlds."
My money is on JD Swanguen, however.

The RAW footage looks great. This is going to be an awesome worlds.
I love early broadcasts. I don't sleep anyway, and the show gets me stoked to go ride too fast on crowded trails first thing in the morning.
Fwiw, i have alpha project on vhs.
Shut up! You're old!

Seems like Finn Iles ate it pretty hard yesterday. With an injured neck, he still isn't sure if he will race or not on Sunday:

This track is just mental. I think the hardest part is the needed endurance to ride this track top to bottom. Really abusive on the arms and core.
Gas-to-flat had already a good "off":
