Video: US Downhill National Championships

What has happened to the mighty days of the US racing scene? Where are the crowds, the atmosphere. I remember the time of NORBA - Tomac, Juarez, Overend, Furtado, Rockwell, King, Palmer etc.

No puns on nipples? I would have thought that was worth pinching

Votec VM150 Team Review

@seraph - perhaps it's a case of poor tradesmen blaming their tools. Doesn't seem to slow Brian Lopes down – but that's because he has talent and doesn't rely on the mystical "perfect bike" to mask his flaws

Windham Day 1 Photos - UCI World Cup 2012

National pride always comes first but respect must be given to any rider who changes the sport for the better. Gwin is that man at the moment - Nico, Palmer and Tomac in the past - it's natural evolution. He's one of the best riders because he realised that DH isn't about how one thing - it's a collaboration of everything. And for him, that includes the big man upstairs.

Monster Energy Specialized Sam Hill Injured, Out For MSA

Don't worry wonkydh - shishka probably doesn't even ride - or maybe he's still trying to work out how to get the bolts off his training wheels. The lad is obviously frustrated that he can't ride on two wheels - so he always has one hand on his bell end the other typing crap on Pinkbike

Specialized Prototype Pedals

I have used Spuds for nearly 20 years and they are still my first choice when I go downhilling. It's second nature for me to clip out when I need to - I have even used them for trials. But if a course or track is unpredictable due to mud or loose gravel then the flats will come out. Maybe riders are not setting up the tension correctly because they shouldn't be that tight that you are still clipped in after a big spill.

Aaron Gwin has won the Windham DH!

Understood it was all toungue in cheek ajanthon. I actually think you may be half right, especially with the current rise of Troy Brosnan. Even Monster Specialized must be thinking - "we had another rider didn't we" I'm sure Sam will give it everything at the World Champs like last year if he is injury free.

Intense Cycles hires Scott Sharples

One of the most approachable riders to come out of OZ. I remember turning around in the line-up of my first Nationals race to see Scott was coming down after me. Crap was my initial thought. Crap crap crap. But after we had a bit of talk I felt a lot better. Still didn't stop me from running off the course in the first 100m.

Aaron Gwin has won the Windham DH!

True - winning the overall title does show you are the best or most consistant rider on the circuit over a season. But the World Champs is that one race where you cannot make a mistake - there is no second chance. And I reckon that a majority of guys who have won on the WC circuit would trade it all for a set of rainbow stripes. As per the NFL - it doesn't matter if you top the table all year - it's the Superbowl that matters. Gwin's got the title sown up with some of the best riding seen for a long time. Can he bring it to the big stage and take home the crown?? My money would be on him. But stranger things have happened. Rockwell in 2000 for one.
