 So you show and present every single "international know rider" but do not give credit to the locals?
There are very good riders here in Mexico that were there and I think that they deserve a place.

 Why? There's a reason pros get props. They've earned it along with the media coverage and sponsorships. You want a reach around for every grom that ran the course? If they ever get good enough then they'll get the credit.

 Yo Powderface, you're forgetting that events like these brought guys like Bernardo Cruz and Marcelo Gutierrez into the mainstream DH culture. I recall see an Urban DH vid a while back wherein Minnaar was interviewed about the local racers, and based on his disbelief with how fast some of the guys were going, there has gotta be some serious talent that isn't being shown.

 results talk not talent.

 Theres lots of kids with talent the problem is that they show results since they dont have just as easy acces to a sponsorship just as other kids do. The help of media is required so the other kids could get exposed.

 i always thought that they should get rid of the race categories. i have a buddy who won his category and had best over all time but was never mentioned. its about protecting the elite.

 Is it just me or is the filming a little funny? Was really looking forward to an edit of this race but the filming seemed glitchy even in HD. Anyhow, the event looked amazing, the organisers did an amazing job!

 No street dog wandering on the middle of the track after a blind corner this time? I'm disappoint...

Oh and that wallride from Chris Van Dine was insane.
