 Did anyone see Pierron's crash in practice - looked like he tried to fell a tree with his hips.

Some nice action at Snowshoe.

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.

Found this for the Warner commentary gold at the very end, and then remembered how good the whole run was.

That was a riding master class and that 26er looks like a perfect fit for Danny.

MSA this weekend - watched the Kerr track walk video - it looks wild and steep.

Fits him like a 29'er fits Minnnaarrrrrr

 

On that topic, I am pitting Mr Min for a Win or a top 3 this weekend.

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.

I'm rooting for Bernard K to win. Fastest in timed training by 3 secs over Finn. Min in 3rd around 5 back.

Greg is also on record saying this recently

He looked like he was heading for a podium before one of those darn Canadian Pines just jumped in front him! 😄 Bet he was glad it was padded! 😬

Looking at that sudden stop .... that padding is very good !!

The last 5 riders at MSA on Saturday gave a lot of excitement. I must admit I’m glad the wacky overall is still in the mix, and wasn’t tied up this past weekend already. Keeps things exciting.
