Video: Official Highlights from the Bielsko-Biala DH World Cup 2024

Around the minute mark, there is a graphic saying average gradient 4.9% and max 14.6%. And Ric even saying it. Amateur hour. I don't even need a calculator to know these numbers must be completely wrong. That's more like a blue XC descent, not a WC downhill track.

[UPDATED] Video Round Up: Fort William DH World Champs 2023

Below is an example of what they have done to the track. I took the image on the right from the Red Bull preview with Laurie Greenland last year (with Jackson Goldstone in front). The one on the left is from the 2nd video above. https://ibb.co/BNw4HBw

Mathieu van der Poel Pleads Guilty to Assault After Altercation with Teenage Girls

@JARTassie: He maybe crossed the line by waiting near his door for them to come back, and then chasing them down the hallway and barging into their hotel rooms, which is where the assault occurred. That's what happened according as per a news report referencing court documents. Probably worse than it happening at his own front door.

Final Results from the Val di Sole DH World Championships 2021

@rockyflowtbay: I know that is an issue, especially for early riders. But 10-20 were staggered by 3 minutes. The top 10 were staggered by 3:30 (winning time was 3:29). In theory they should have been able to show almost full runs.

The monotone commentator was mind numbingly dull. I can only imagine Warner screaming his tits off.

Final Results from the Val di Sole DH World Championships 2021

I started counting a few times and got to 85 seconds after Danny Hart's run. Most of the time it was around 45-60 seconds. I don't think they even bothered putting proper cameras on the first 2 minutes except the start gate.

EWS Cancels First 3 Rounds of 2022

I live out west where life has been normal since May/June 2020 with almost zero cases since. We have the strongest economy in the whole world according to S&P. Might host the grand final for the first time (our superbowl event for the yanks out there). Full on dystopian tyranny is the bees knees.

EWS Cancels First 3 Rounds of 2022

Texas and Australia have similar populations. Total deaths - 989 in Oz and 56,000 in TX. In the last week TX averages 17k cases and 139 deaths per day. Business as usual? In the last week Oz averages 700 cases and 2 deaths per day. Full force?
