They won't download it, @JUGIZMO This is more about complaining than anything else.

I don't want to download yet another crappy app to plug the gaps in PB's lazy race articles. Even a simple copy/paste would suffice

Also do not want another app. While there are a ton of athletes, it's pretty crazyil easy to make 3 or 4 screen grabs and turn them into jpeg images. (Control + print screen)(paste in paint, format as jpeg). You're welcome. I'm not downloading Scribd, I have enough redundant stuff on my phone.

His real name is Guy Bar, but go figure it out.. and Beer is way better.

Wait... you forget Nick Beer! That is by far the best name ever!

shugyman (Aug 12, 2015 at 8:42)

Long story, but the original name is really written as Guy Beer in English, I just went by Bar for a lot of years.

And Guy Beer is way better than Nick, I can be your beer guy

Pretty sure it's a money thing, racing world cup's is an expensive exercise

Maybe is the same for Chris Kovarik. He is a lot older than these guys but yeah, only 1.31s behind Gutierrez in a huge track. Look the diference for the 3rd place.

I was at highway 86 entrance of no joke. Like one woman and one junior hit it. Almost all of the final 30 pro men hit it. Money makes people do crazy things.

Yeah' Tracey Hannah and emilie hit it. And Seth Sherlock hit it from the juniors. I have video of Tracey and Eddie Masters hitting it. Will post it when I get a chance. Also got a video of the sick train down Aline today during the fox DH race, will try and post that too.

Wow, might be the closest split between first and second at any major DH race this year for the women. And on such a long course as well.....

¿why does it called "garbanzo"?

Workhardplayharder (Aug 11, 2015 at 18:18)

Because it starts from the top of the Garbonzo chairlift.

it's not called Garbonzo Bean,you need to go to Whistler.

nickel (Aug 11, 2015 at 21:19)

Haha yeah I can see why you might wonder why the hell it's called that. There is a restaurant (only open in winter) which is called the chickpea. Garbanzo chair takes you right to it, so thematically I guess it makes sense.

I have heard from one of the groomers on the mountain that after the garbanzo run/line was cut, they skied down it while high and they would say "I'm a garbanzo bean" while going off of the natural features. So apparently that's why they called the run garbanzo and eventually the lift went in and it got called that.
