- Thread starter jstuhlman
- Start date
Don't wanna talk about it.
Found out late that i could go.
...but nothing outside of 300 a night rooms in Quebec city available.
No camping either, buddy that does have a site already has a squatter.
So, I'm going to the local hill and avail myself of the 750 feet of vertical instead.
Maybe next year....

I might go and sleep in the car.. what the chances the cops will kick me out?
canadia has cops?
I just pray that all the riders using carbon bars finish the day safely.

Just do it like a true Quebecois and steal something.

Can't wait!
In the unlikely event that the race sucks, here is some old school MSA action from 1993. The good old days before the invention of technology and geometry... Apart from the wheel size that was properly figured out and optimized at that time, it's amazing how EVERYTHING was wrong on these bikes.
Missy Giove @ 9:55.

God that shit sucked. There is no part of me that ever wishes I was a part of that mess. Old school surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, motocross......yeah there's a little bit of "I wish I was there". Not that. It's amazing the power of spandex.
freakin andrew shandro . . . lol. 
still love his section in seasons tho. note how his bars remained intact throughout.

Wuut what a vid! "look at her coming through the technical section, there is at least three turns in a row here" and "she is just back from a three week suspension from hitting a commissary" god all mighty that was a real laugh haha! But man dh was a road fest back then.
And just 'cause... Hopefully Gee has a clean weekend this time.

He's looking good in the latest Atherton Diaries vid, be good to see him have a top finish.
The race is on Saturday, so quallies on Friday, practice tomorrow, track walk today? Surely we should have heard from both Claudio and @jackalope by now?
@Mo(n)arch, can you fix the link? It's not working. Thanks!
Edit: Nevermind, working link one post down.

There may come a day where everything will be wrong with our bikes. Ya know, standards and shit.
Also, isn't that called Gravelbiking these days?

Wow. That compression /Huck thing at the bottom of the speed section is scary. It's also clear how much more controlled the Ohlins suspension is through there. I'm sure it's in large part Bruni, but the bike is much more quiet through the section than any other one (that we saw).
Cue someone saying how the track is played out, easy to ride on a hardtail with slicks in freezing rain, and is the same as it's always been and shouldn't be on the WC circuit
Moar RAW from teh germanz:

that raw from the germs was fucking great. A lot of the raw footage lately has felt like they pick 2-3 corners and film riders hitting the same corner over and over, which is cool but gets a little boring.
This felt like one of the videos Dirt used to produce, not a ton of slowmo, just a lot of the trail and riders bookin it. +1
Edit: also, interesting to listen to Minnaar's "off the cuff" interview in vital, where he talks about how his biggest riding strength is how much he likes to jump and how comfortable he is in the air is interesting. I guess the reason he looks so super hooman smoove is because he's spent all his life learning to jump off super shitty jumps and it forces you to ride the terrain really well.
Maybe thats the moral for the neverquites like Brendan and Phill Atwill, less time on jumps, more time jumping off shitty pops on the trail.
