Trackwalk - Windham DH World Cup 6

 Don't judge a course based on what limited information you have (race footage/photos only show certain parts of the course). While I agree there are better tracks in the grand scheme of things, this area and the North East in general has some seriously rad riding despite its low elevation. While you wouldn't necessarily chose the East as a ski destination (except for a few spots in Vermont), the mountain biking here is some of the most technical you can find.

Also, whichever venue wants to hold a race can bid for one. Windham wanted a race here, so they fought to have one. If other areas in the USA want to host a World Cup, they can fight to have one too.

 I judge it on what I'm seeing on the live coverage during the races. It might be or might be not fair, but the truth is that this is the race I'm least exited to watch among all races during the season. And you can fairly say it is short, because it is short.

 @ka-brap: Bang on!

 If a shorter track means less peddling sections then I personally think that is a good thing for DH. Looking forward to the race.

 I hope you try that on your mums bike, that way we can see broken bones protruding through your skin and all point and laugh at you. Yes the course is short, but it is far from a walk in the park. "Some" areas have been smoothed out, but many have not. True it is not like MSA but not much is. The footage from this post does not capture barely any of the course. Average jump is 35', most are over 40' and max over 50'. Top speed on the test race was 48mph, and with all due respect it was not from one of the top riders in the WC.

 WOW. You want to see some poking bones protruding from skin so you can laugh? Thats f*cked up. You have serious issues. And I hqave seen MUCH footage of the track before. It is not challenging compared to the more manly tracks out there.

I don't give a damn how long the jumps are. That means absolutely nothing to the gnarlyness of the track. Jumps aren't hard, you just point and shoot. Gnarly tight tech is hard and seperates the men from the boys.

 Well based on the captions in this very web page, it would seem that the straighten out sections they showed were actually made more difficult by eliminating the turns.

 its a joke

 I noticed that, whats up with it? clearly Doug Hatfield is installing a dual crown fork...

 America is not a continent; North America or South America is.

Canada is a county, as part of the USA.

 Hilarious.

 "North America and South America are treated as separate continents in the seven-continent model. However, they may also be viewed as a single continent known as America. This viewpoint was common in the United States until World War II, and remains prevalent in some Asian six-continent models.[13] This remains the more common vision in Latin American countries, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Greece, where they are taught as a single continent. From the 19th century some people used the term "Americas" to avoid ambiguity with the United States of America." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

Dumb US citizen.

 Hate to break it to you, f*cktw*t, but WWII and the 19th century have long passed! That is unless, of course, you're in a backwards third-world country like Brazil.

 EVEN MORE HILARIOUS!!!

 I may be in a third world country, but at least here we are not a nation of dumb, poorly educated people, who can not even understand a simple text in our native language. Try and read it again you incapable of ration though piece of shit, and you will notice that there are two models, the 6 continent model, used by Europe in general, Latin America and Asia (Kinda almost the whole world, check a map) and the 7 continent model, apparently used by your war based freedom shithole and Canada.

 There are actually 5 different continent models and the 6 continent model is not used in Asia. Judging by your earlier use of wikipedia to prove your point and call somebody a dumb US citizen, I'm assuming by your ignorance that you're far from a geo major.

 I am far from a geography major, Engineering works just fine for me, thanks. Like you mentioned, there are several models, but one is mostly used, guess witch one? The 6 continent model, and I did some research on it, so:

"The seven-continent model is usually taught in China and most English-speaking countries. The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, the former states of the USSR (including Russia), and Japan. The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, and some parts of Europe, including Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain. This model may be taught to include only the five inhabited continents (excluding Antarctica) — as depicted in the Olympic logo."

As it seems, the geographic community prefers the six continent model, and even the Olympic logo is based on it. So even though your creationist school teacher taught you that there are seven continents you should try and study a bit more about what the rest of the world understand.

By the way even NY Times stated that US geologists are no longer using the 7 continent model:

"Paradoxically, almost as soon as the now-conventional seven-part continental system emerged in its present form, it began to be abandoned by those who had most at stake in its propagation: professional geographers. Whereas almost all American university-level global geography textbooks before World War II reflected continental divisions, by the 1950s most were structured around "world regions" (discussed in chapter 6). Yet the older continental divisions have persisted tenaciously in the popular press, in elementary curricula, in reference works, and even in the terminology of world regions themselves..."

 Congrats you can Google!

 Congrats, you can not accept that you are wrong!

 i hope you are doing the old double sarcasm thing there....
