So many bare knees; so many rocks

tlilly (May 11, 2016 at 8:12)

Living in Utah, you CANNOT ride without knee pads. I did once this spring, crashed on my knee and almost broke my patella. Bone bruise central. Wear knee pads, you will crash eventually.

@tlilly: And yet, they are. Although I bet Nate is wishing he had kneepads on. I wonder if we'll see him sporting some in his next race. Stitches are never fun, and somehow he still won. Amazing.

Nate has amazing youtube videos.

sevensixtwo (May 11, 2016 at 19:10)

I wonder if the plank competition is still going

Thanks for the great coverage of the event!

cliffyjj (May 12, 2016 at 13:14)

I've done a couple of the EC Moab races and they're barely more than a staged cross country race. Not a lot of elevation change at all, they're fun but kinda meh.

KFC. Like a boss.

snipes287 (May 11, 2016 at 8:23)

720p max...what is 1983?

jd991998 (May 11, 2016 at 20:36)

Come on at least 1080p

Awkward, lady on the podium with empty hands up, whilst all others have hands full.

SteveDekker (May 11, 2016 at 14:31)

I think she's only 18, so she don't get a beer! Nice job everyone!
