Final day in Loudenvielle with our boy Mush holding it down for the YT MOB! The best result in Semi's with a P8, followed by an unfortunate crash near the end of finals leaving him in 23rd. Pretty good result considering and 28th in the overall after missing 2 rounds. Yeaaaaahhhhh Mush!— Jack Moir

Gamux Factory Racing

This year, we had our first race in Loudenvielle, France, and it exceeded all our expectations! Initially, we were a bit skeptical about the track, but as it turns out, it was one of the coolest and most diverse tracks we've ever encountered. Mike and Lino were absolutely thrilled with the experience!

From the very beginning, there were schedule changes, but what unfolded in the end was something no one could have predicted...— Gamux Factory Racing

Not Junior Finals:
Dean Lucas

Join us as we chat all things downhill and how it's dying from here in Loudenvielle where the juniors race has been completely cancelled due to mud....

We are getting a bit stuck in a negative pattern with some of this reporting from the World Cups this year but it would seem there's some spicy things to keep talking about.

We dive into the state of Downhill with the Masters Brothers as well as having the Number 1 qualifier and now technically World Cup Loudenvielle Junior winner, Ryan Pinkerton jump in. Followed by an absolute OG of the game Flo Payet who gives his take on wet races as he has seen and been a part of some of the most memorable races in the sports history. (Which were wet).

Hope you enjoy, sorry for the negativity! We are just concerned for the sport, sue us.— Dean Lucas

Bernard Kerr

It's been another weird one sorts fans but its still wet and we are gonna light it up tomorrow...if they let us!— Bernard Kerr

Ed Masters

In an unprecedented move, the Junior race at the Loudenvielle World Cup was cancelled. The riding footage shown here was the first run and while conditions were tricky, the general consensus amongst the riders was that they wanted to RACE!!!!— Ed Masters

Qualifying:
Dean Lucas

Join Wyn Masters as he delves into the thrilling, gravity-defying world of mountain biking in "The OffTrack Experience". Recognized for his in-depth "Wyn TV" interviews and the high-spirited antics of "Wheelie Wednesday", Wyn harnesses that zest to bring listeners an unparalleled look into downhill racing. This isn't your typical sports podcast. With Wyn at the helm, you'll get candid discussions on the evolution of the sport, the mindset of a racer facing formidable terrains, and the camaraderie that binds the MTB community. Beyond the adrenaline and competition, Wyn provides a perspective on why MTB, especially downhill racing, is more than just a sport—it's a passion, a discipline, and for many, a way of life. So, whether you're a rider, fan, or just MTB-curious, strap in for a journey that goes beyond the beaten track with one of the sport’s most genuine voices.— Dean Lucas

Started off with track walk and ended up riding one of the best tracks ever here in Loudenvielle, France for the DH World Cup.

Moi Moi TVs raw is very very good, shows how steep and loose it is.

Dean and Wyn interview was such a great insight into the racing.

If you aren’t watching BK’s YouTube channel you are seriously missing out.

77 minutes for two videos combined though. A bit long?

MikeGruhler (Sep 2, 2023 at 4:31)

@mi-bike: Nope, not long enough if you ask me. BK offer's the best insight and coverage of WC racing from the inside. An absolute pleasure to watch for this sport fan! BK All Day!

on-the-move (Sep 2, 2023 at 18:47)

@mi-bike: Lol if you enjoy it then it's not bad, you tube give you more money if your video is longer than 30 minutes so you gotta make a 30 minute long video.

HardtailHerold (Sep 3, 2023 at 0:07)

As a sports fan I often find myself getting more excited about a BK upload than the actual race. I'm also always memorized by his POV footage because I have no idea how a human can be that fast on an MTB! It like my POV footage at 2x speed.

shandtke FL (Sep 4, 2023 at 0:11)

@mi-bike: not if you like the long form stuff. I think of it as watching a tv episode.

naptime FL (Sep 2, 2023 at 23:56)
