Who gives a Fuck. He looks like a Greek God. I would put that poster on my Front Door. Go Fuck your self. If you like Seth,I can post a picture of a Old School Poster that is in a Frame with a few words of Love to Avy?

That was a very caddy,homo phobic comment if Avy has ever heard. Are you Gay? In the closet are you?

Yes.
Dan rode for Muddyfox from 17/18yr old. Riding many wild and weird prototype Muddyfox DH bikes while 15yr old Gee rode a carbon Remec on a shop team. When Gee joined Dan on Muddyfox they both rode Muddyfox DH ultimates. The yellow M1 esque bike if you search hard enough you'll still find pics of them riding those in UK races. They then rode the next Muddy Fox DH bike the Descent. (same frame Coyote sold) until switching to M1s with muddy fox decals around 2002. Whichever year it was Gee won his first WC.

here's an old DH ultimate frame someone's rawed

Sam Hill making another comeback this year to challenge again, as much as he is a legend of a sport. These guys dont know when to give up, I'll eat my words if he comes back and makes a dent but I honestly cant see it happening. The sports moved on hugely in terms of speed since he was on the podium back in 2014.

kona,I’m sure you read what I said above about our “hero’s”. I took a beating here on the Wide World of the Monkey about Gwinny still having a chance to win again. To beat the Goat’s record. Not gonna happen Avy. Then,Gwin almost got a win on the toughest track of the year. Some Pro’s did not even Race. Gwin can still Win. Finally back after this lasting Elbow injury.

Sam is older and lost his Team. For me,when he left DH and won those Titles in Enduro,I thought,Man,he is a Legend. Bow Down to a Power Greater than you. I wish he would have left after his 3rd Title In Enduro. What an Exit to Retire on. Then be like Peaty in the Game? But Sam still want’s to Ride,so I Ride with Him! If he was my Hero,It would be Hard to watch at this point. Know when to say when. Easy for me to say,I am not a Living Legend.

Im gonna be honest, I didn't see one thing you posted. I think even legends need to know when to call it a day.

Why do they need to call it a day? Whats the effect of not calling it. Poor results compared to their legacy. Thats it. If they earn income and have fun doing it. Whysweat it.

Because they're racing for us, not for themselves. Stop pretending they're actual people

If only there was a category for people who used to be super fast and now need to leave space for the next generation of elites.

or is racing masters category just too much of a hit for the ego?

Is there a race this weekend?

I can't tell.

Also, between the Nuggets (basketball), Avalanche (hockey) (both in playoffs) and Moto, The wife is getting a little mad at all my sports watching. But I am needing some dh/mtb racing...like soon. Or else I may have to go ride my own bike :D

There used to be a UCI ruling stopping ex pros from being entitled to a Masters Worlds title until a certain time had passed since they last raced pro. Pagey lost out due to that rule one year. But plenty Ex Elites/Pros have gone back to racing in their age category in national/local events later in their career/life.
Peaty just raced Vets at the first UK National this year
