It's double Downhill World Cup racing this week with two races being held in Maribor, Slovenia. From jumps and berms to roots and rocks it's a track that's got it all.
Things are dry for now, but more rain is forecast for qualifying...
Nice idea, but... nobody will survive till 50% of a practice session! I was thinkig of instaling an automatic ding-counter. Would be a nice number, i guess.
Alá Vanilla 32 Terralogic. One time I rode a Cotic bFE 26 inch at Snowshoe with a clapped out 32 Vanilla with hardly any oil and had my shit set up on Quick release axles, singlespeed magic ratio with no narrow-wide and no tension. Kept up wit my dude on his Session on the flowly bits. Come at me ya'll.
Ok, question for anyone who's raced DH: How do you not lose your focus when there's a dude blasting a whistle every 5 seconds when you ride by? I feel like that would drive me nuts!
you don't notice them if yer concentrating on your lines..........but conversely when the fast bastard starts catching up on you, you definitely notice the gap in whistle times getting shorter and shorter and shorter,..........then a lone whistle heralding the point of capture, then the gaps get longer and longer and longer, until the lone whistle is now announcing to everyone you've just had yer ass spanked :-(
Those white Five Tens have made an appearance. I think I saw someone wearing a pair for the World Champs...although it was hard to tell shortly after starting down the track

(i joke, i joke, but get the cameraman something with better colours that doesn't produce ghosting effects)
It’s reassuring in a funny way to hear them.
