that’s a pretty weird description of what you like/dislike to make a guess of what you’ll enjoy from.. just go faster if you find a trail too mellow. and ride in the wet more so you’re not scared of it.
but how about – up to the top down Jawbone then lower JB climb/push up to FTpony then down pony..

gatsby… he’s typing while sat in your underwear… one handed ;)

Nah.. but fair enough, that’s your opinion

Who knows what really went on with that decision. :shrug:

really hope wee Emmiline takes the overall this year tho.

Rachael’s wee out the tapes excursion at Windham was the first time they’d ever ruled a rider could continue without re-entering the course at the same point they left.
There were many many DQs each year previously for EXACTLY what she did.
They’ve now reverted back to that rule.
Rachael took the lead in the overall points that day by 30pts and went on to win by only 140 pts. The strange decision not to DQ her gave her 250pts of those.

All hail the Bandwidth king… throttling STRAVA D/L speeds 24/7

:lol:

I get on with everyone. haven’t ever met Njee.

no one other than you two are actually looking for info from this ridiculously dull thread, trust me.

it’s not me, but your door you should be worried about wee guy ;)

Gatsby seems a good lad though.

I just remembered 3 or 4 weeks ago that I **** hate roadies so I’m bowing out of your pathetic competition.

UCI rules doccumentation is a shitefest.
Just hope at the end of the year (wherever they place) it’s a bigger gap than 10 points between Gwin and Bruni in the overall.

I’m still miffed at the decision from Windham in 2012 (Rach A)

And this isn’t about ego

Sorry but pathetically, stalking is ALWAYS about ego..

Njee Bengee is world class at this level of pathological obsessional creepiness.

Speeder. is that the current DQ ruling or the strange temporary amendment from a couple of years back that allowed Rachael Atherton not to be DQd at Windham?

If that’s current and Gwin still managed a qualifying time of 15th or above after that crash he should actually be the current Series leader

Have you forgotten where you’re posting, Si?

I’d love to hear how/where Mike Jones **** up.. he was clearly well pissed at his run when he crossed the line.

hope it’s mentioned in the next “On the hunt” vid

there is the outside possibility of gamesmanship by running off course in qualifying and therefore getting a ‘clean’ run in before the other top-20 guys and before the track got too blown out….

Expert gamesmanship :lol:

He just threw away the overall points lead there BTW

roadie cleats are mainly plastic.. far too easy to digest.

I want real commitment here!

take off a hat.. the heat is obviously making you unwell

bolts, washer plates an’ all.

no probs. you and superficial must video yourselves eating a set of cleats (each) though smatkins.

exactly what I describe happens with ProIIs when the outboard bearing fails.
check the outboard side of the freehub for play around the axle

you sure your freehub bearings are in good nick?
if the outboard one goes it can sometimes freewheel/spin with no noise in the lower gears but make annoying creaks etc. in the wee sprockets.
What hub is it?

I fully accept that’s one view Stu.

If you can understand someone being passionate about their chosen patriotism it’s surely not all that difficult to understand someone who dislikes patriotism just as passionately?

I don’t have any “daft Scottish nationalism” dragon. it’s just the country were I was born.

I love watching most elite level DH races but hate the patriotism of the World Champs.

is this really so difficult to understand?

You seem to love xx

Well done for confusing the one off event of the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS for year long battle for the THE WORLD CUP SERIES.

Brendan’s Rampage run wasn’t stylish. It was almost as if no one told him style and tricks add to your overall score. He rode nice lines well tho.

FFS! Read what I wrote Wrecker.
and incase you can’t work it out for yourself, I hate blind Patriotism. It’s nothing more than a retarded, inbred and outdated way of fooling plebs.
The DH World Cup is not a Nation Vs. Nation competition, One of the reasons I love following it so much.

:lol: @ Stuart Hall

Wee Fraser McGlone did no too shabby today TBF

More talented than the likes of Bryceland and Hill even.

Goanny explain what you mean by this?
Seems a little strange that he’d keep all his extra natural Talent hidden so well while riding on the same team as Hill.
Amazing rider, yes. I’m just not so sure how one measures “natural” talent between different riders.

..and the ‘Mercan who just put 4 seconds into every other rider spent winter in Cali eating cookies and that top “Local” you elude to having practiced more than anyone else still slides out on the very first corner. How much do you think local knowledge came into the winning result a fortnight back in Rotorua?

As with many new tracks, this track was an entirely different prospect after just one days practice nevermind from weeks earlier before it was even taped out. Local knowledge is an advantage, yes, but nowhere near as big a deal as you seem to make out for the very top guys.

Like I said earlier, this is not Enduro.

Do you actually have no clue as to how large a country France is Mike? There’s NOTHING stopping ANY of the riders heading to Lourdes before the event.

Ft Bill is a trail centre in comparison. Nothing changes there at all at a National apart from the 15 seconds of woods they tape in for SDAs/BDS/WC that are closed to everyday punters.

Except for cheering for the GB riders and appreciating that we have a great set of riders who represent the UK that it’s something to celebrate.

I’m Scottish. Not GBish

WE have no Team GB

Personally I was most looking forward to seeing to Remi, Mike and Neko’s runs simply because they were looking the Radest all weekend. Where they were born has nothing to do with it for me.

I find patriotism (especially in multination Team sports) all just a bit too inbred.

What are the odds he made 5 seconds on some super line?

Not a chance. he simply held speed better (pretty much everywhere)

Well all shook up too, think the big advantage was with the Locals for lots of extra practice on a new track.

You think Cannes is local to Lourdes?

That’s like Calling Brendan a Ft William Local.

there was no real home advantage. it’s not Enduro. :roll:

Go Team GB!

There is no TEAM GB here. it’s not that kind of sport. Thank ****!

Looking at the course difference between here and Ft Bill I recjon it could be a lot closer

Please do explain?

You’re clearly riding in a different gravitational field to your bicycle nothing can help you so just go with it and dial your no foot cans, indian airs and nac-nacs with all that extra air time you have.

What does the bike come fitted with?
