I've watched the front wheel wash out ten times & it just looks so innocuous. DH is gnarly, dudes.

Although it was quite funny when he was off his choppers on the morphine. When I was in last year, pumped full of drugs, the Doctor was putting my shoulder back in its socket & I looked at him & said; Do you want to come for a ride next week?

Indeed it did. This rock looks less so from a moment later from his Insta.

Thatll be a good time. Double header! Crowds at the WC's in 'murica make them a party to remember. They go nuts! You have to dress up for sure.
As impressive as the racing is on the broadcast , it just doesnt compare to seeing them absolutely shred irl.

Two vids today, one comparing Bruin and Vergier and the BrenDog‘s bike check - he’s limping a bit ?



And next the double header ? Who’ll finish with most points?

one comparing Brunei and Vergier

That must be one hell of a weird video :

"Brunei is a tiny nation on the island of Borneo, in 2 distinct sections surrounded by Malaysia and the South China Sea. It's known for its beaches and biodiverse rainforest, much of it protected within reserves. The capital, Bandar Seri Begawan, is home to the opulent Jame’Asr Hassanil Bolkiah mosque and its 29 golden domes. The capital's massive Istana Nurul Iman palace is the residence of Brunei’s ruling sultan."

"Brunei is a tiny nation on the island of Borneo…. ."

Bastard keyboard correction, although it has a sense of humour I suppose…. annoys me almost as much as my Turbo Levo did before it got sent back.

Overalls, I'm going for Jackson Goldstone, Phoebe Gale then something, something the French.

[RustyMTB]

Delighted. She's been due a big win.

Holl was flying ... Nicole looked like she was in with a chance then slipped out but still flew down the rest like a hero !

 

[Zimmerframe]

I love watching women.

Especially these ones .. We'd be stopping for food and beer three times on the way down and making a day trip out of it

 

[Zimmerframe]

Yeah. I think One of the slower men’s racers should identify as a woman to race in their league. Nothing like a Wo-Man stealing the thunder from women’s sports. Sooo brave they are.

Hey .. keep your pol/sexitics out of the DH thread !

Fantastic result for Jockistan. Buckies all round.

Thibaut Daprela's wheel failing was pretty horrible, hopefully he's fine.
