Do Dave and Lee have their Evil's yet? Shots were great last year Frasier, can't wait to see some more!

 

[ska todd]

The only riders who have Evil's right now are Thomas & Stevie + 2 or 3 other ninja testers.

[Tmeyer]

Yeah, Smith's bike looks hawt. Psyched to hear thoughts after some ride time!

 

[big-ted]

Looks a little "bland" for stevie, no? Or is he leaving the neons at home this year?

After a couple of delays for reruns, Cedric Gracia and Micayla Gatto win. Smith in third on board his new evil. Sun burns for everyone.

[General Lee]

Those new Giant DH Team's look badass in black....

Dude... why you still bitter over that whole fiasco? whats done is done and it prob wont happen again because of all the negative publicity so in a sense dw did win one for the little guys

I think you have it all wrong.

 

[zdubyadubya]

I think you have it all wrong.

Maybe... Was the reference not to giant ripping off a small company's suspension designs? Please explain...

 

[jonKranked]

Really? Please... you of all people.

 

[DsDhBxracer13]

Interesting to see, while not your typical DH race, Cedric was 10 seconds ahead of 2nd and 14 ahead of Smith in 3rd. That's quite the time gap no matter what kind of course when it is only 2.5 minutes long.

 

[spliffy]

anyone find the full list of results yet cant find them online

 

[Kanye West]

What the hell is everyone talking about? What fiasco? I was being sarcastic/deliberately ignorant.

 

[Steve M]

I think he was taking the piss out of the fact that Giant blatantly ripped off many aspects of the DW-link (esp the Sunday), and now DW has created a bike that aesthetically resembles an old Giant DH Team/Comp frame.

 

[MouseMonkey]

Hey, it's Pablo rocking his Corsair!

Nice pics on your site.

 

[Kanye West]

Actually didn't even think about the Sunday/DW link thing, just saw a rattlecanned satin black Giant DH team that looked strikingly similar at glance.

I wasn't even trying to get sand in anyones vagina...that time.

I can see where you get that it "looks like" the dh team... but the similarities end there.

Looks like a polished Bighit DH in that picture, haha.

 

[SCABRIDER]

sick. i'm going to valparaiso on summer cruise. should get a day and a half or so leave in port...

All the riders were blistering fast in the stairs sections,

but Gracia was literally flying:

and Scabrider, you will have quite a view:
