Vital OTB is back! Get your bets in for a chance to score some Easton DH goodies - http://www.facebook.com/TheVitalMTB?sk=app_187494387957281
4X is still happening? I thought they canned it based on that report posted on here last year? (I'm being serious)
I think its just cancelled at certain venues such as Windham.
What you're saying here is "more of a man than me", right?
I interpreted his statement as some sort of bizarre fantasy of his.
Yeah, you're probably right.
I met TM a while ago. Great girl. Sure, she's a bit of a tom-boy... but she's a top flight DH racer. What else would one expect.
Perhaps emotionally, sexually, yes.
Gwin looks wrong in that Trek kit!
Huh. Wonder if he's actually using that for the long pedaling section.
Just posted some new photos up on pinkbike and am updating transcend now. Holy **** - this track is fast in the dry at the bottom. Not so much in the middle. There's a 70 foot hip as well, ridiculous.
Where is a photo of someone hitting this?
Nah, he puts it up for the steep section.
Wait for it. I guarantee the first image will be of Cedric. He is a wildman.

I usually like TLD stuff, but somebody crapped a bag skittles with these PJ's.

Gwin not rocking the neck brace this year?
No neck brace for the Gwinner this year.
Any insight to why some of the top guys choose not to wear them when they have in the past?
I bet it's because he doesn't want to anymore. Sometimes people (professional racers are people) change their mind.
Ace and Gary DH practice / 4x quali's slideshow is up.

Just personal preference, and about being as comfortable as possible. Wants to spray that bubbly!

Mick just killed the middle section. And bumped Greg out of the top qualifying spot.
Something happened to Fairclough. Neethlings top speed is crazy!
Did Brendan not start? He hasn't got a time beside his name and should have been off 6th.
Sorry, just saw the DNF, hope he's ok.
hes dnf now
Giant team is strong this year. Wait for Barel. Top 3.
I doubted his motivation after last years weaker results. He seems to have prooved me wrong. Good job for him.
aanyone know where the speedtrap is recorded at? Neethling was hauling ass
Graves and Barel still to go, be intrestng too see where they both end up.
Agreed.
I'm suprised to see someone from mauritius there. Seemed like a cool place to ride but never seen any tracks or know anything about their scene. Defo would want to revisit with a bike.
Also our local boy Aram Raoof will start soon. Wonder how he fares as he never seemed like a powerhouse type of rider.

Barel 6th, pretty good. Graves 36th ATM, dissapointing I'd say.
