Seems unlikely to be a coincidence me thinks. Wouldn't DH be fun to have: One unusual race per season: somewhere strange in the Third World for example One uphill race per season Two race runs per event: one on your team bike, a second run on a one-design bike 1 yes 2 yes , i think these oaks are so fit it will be genuinely entertaining 3 Everyone would want to change tyres , sus setup , brake sides ; bute point : brand etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porqui Posted July 18, 2022 Share The juniors were impressive 4 of them in the top ten times for the day. Granted it was early in the day so the track would have run faster. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching him as a tiny kid riding ridiculously well around Whistler. He is going to shake the elite field up hugely in a year or so.

ChrisF Posted July 31, 2022 Share Some nice action at Snowshoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted August 2, 2022 Share That was a wild race with great riding on display. I think the riders are probably looking forward to MSA which is comparatively tame and better known than the wet Snowshoe. I went through a phase earlier this year and hated the sound of Warner but he outdid himself especially on the DH this time round. I am going to miss his commentary hugely and I think the new media people are going to battle to fill his shoes. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found this for the Warner commentary gold at the very end, and then remembered how good the whole run was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted August 2, 2022 Share That was a riding master class and that 26er looks like a perfect fit for Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that the Giant DH was on was a reasonable frame size - quite long compared to what we saw other people on. GM is on record as saying the frame dimensions are as or more important than wheel size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
