Having ridden snowshoe since its been rideable - but being nowhere near as fast as these aliens - I knew this years route was gonna be a ton of carnage & it was. All the "flat track" talk - while meaning actually harder due to having to pedal a hella-lot more - still equates to people thinking this Snowshoe is somehow "lesser" or less gnarly overall than Euro tracks, but - we saw the carnage. More crashes, off-lines, smashed wheels and flats in a couple runs than in any other track in Europe this year. I get it - not quite the gradient as Lousa or Lenzerheide (etc) - but actually way harder & far more physicality & skill to get through at all much less for the win. What a f*cking kickass track & races there this year...def ones to remember.
