Rider #199 went down on one of the corners....... Didn't realise the multi talented Travis Pastrana has turned his skillfull hand to DH? Now that would be sick!

huckfinn....who does Gwin ride for these days?

HUCKfinn (Jun 4, 2011 at 7:19)

Haha, I meant that comment to be two different statements. I want Gwinny to crush it, but I still want team Yeti to do well. I do know that Gwin now rides for Trek world racing. I guess my comment wasn't very clear.

Goldenwalt (Jun 3, 2011 at 17:55)

Gwin has 4 victories so far this season: 1) Fontana City Nationals 2) WC#1 in S. Africa 3) Pro GRT in Plattekill 4) U.S. Open. I'm betting on Ft. Bill being #5. Let that big dog eat, get ya' some Gwin.

Aww, I was looking forward to scaring myself on the new gap to berm. Is the jump over the new xc route tunnel open to the public?

1 0

experthucker (Jun 6, 2011 at 8:26)

Yeh but its not much of a jump its just a huge roller that you can pop, if you have springs for legs, most people pedal straight over the top.
