He brought his 4X bike to the top.......LOL.

 Thats what I'm saying.

 its alright. but kind of disappointing. everyone has been acting like the guy is going to throw Sam Hill into a kangaroo and take the podium every time. looks like he is just a mediocre rider now from those standings.

 As mediocre as you? What are you saying Odin333? Reading your post is disappointing. Nobody said Palms would win, NO ONE!

 i've heard a few posts of people saying he is going to be up there with Steve Pete and the other top riders and saying he is going to be some riding God. he is definitely not world cup ready anymore and is definitely mediocre by world cup standards. 75th is in no way good at all. sure he might have been a legend way back when, but now not so much.

 Get real dude. Your typing non-sense again. Are you a 'hater', somebody that can't stand it when somebody does well........realize he is trying to do good for the Olympics and that he's racing DH MTB because its obvious that he will do good in snowboarding, its called cross training. Take your opinion to the trash can, 'nuff said.

 I'm not a hater. if you would back up and go to my first post and read it again, everything I've said makes sense. i said everyone was acting like he was going to win, so he gets 75th, that is somewhat disappointing since he used to rip years ago. what did he beat? 4 people, one of them can't stay on a bike at all, and the other was on a 4X bike. If he truly was cross-training for the Olympics he wouldn't be racing downhill, thats just asking for an injury. I can take my opinion wherever i want.

 Once again, no one said he was going to win. Your the only one..........so give it a rest.
