No Pics?  I was blown away when a group of us went to the Durango World Cup way back in 00/01.  The jumps were insane back then.  Can't imagine how much bigger they are now.  Rode the XC stuff out in Snowshoe in the late 90's. That was some knarly slate and had this big ass plunge at the bottom. 

Watch Snowshoe on Redbull TV.  The last two races (MSA and Snowshoe) of the season were super exciting.  The MSA World Championship is on NBC Sports if you have access to that.

Watched Snowshoe (XC and downhill) and Hardline on Red Bull TV this weekend. For the XC races I just fast forward to the last few miles though.

Had to use a VPN to watch worlds. Here's what little pics I took as we were having too much fun to f@ck around with a camera. Good times out there for sure!

Sometimes if it's just Nino racing or if Mathieu Van der Poel is in it, I fall asleep.  But the women's was a much tighter championship fight.  What I like about XC is watching the tactics on pacing, and just the sheer speed of how they climb, and how big a drops they make on XC bikes.

But I just loved the end of the men's downhill at Snowshoe.  That was some crazy good riding by the top 5 guys, with very different styles.

TBH, XC racing has never been an interest to me until i got to see a world cup in MSA last year. Short track stuff is super fun to watch. I cant even imagine the mental strength it takes to get up that last steep climb on lap 7 when you're half dead. As a spectator, park yourself on a big climb and watch the pain. In some ways it's just as impressive as the huge DH road gaps.

DH crowds and riders are way, way, way more fun to be around though.

New bike day!  I took it easy on my first ride today and adjusted components as I went.....and promptly got rained on. You’re welcome for all the upcoming rain we will get. 

Guerrilla Gravity Smash carbon. 29x2.5, Gx eagle, Hope pro4 hubs, Hope brakes, one up dropper.  Bought the frame and had James (formally of City Limit Cycles and now part of Velofix) spec out and build it up.

Nice steed. I didn’t know they had carbon frames. Seems like not long ago they were all aluminum.

They went all-in on carbon! They no longer sell aluminum which is unfortunate to us guys that prefer metal bikes.

That shot looks real familiar. When we rode around our neighborhood in Bentonville there were a few other garages that were open and they too looked just like ours, as this one does. It is a very cool environment there.
