Would that we had slop all winter–usually the ruts and mud waves freeze as they are around here, there isn't any snow so it's even tempting to try from time to time. But it's slippery as F, slices tires like fresh bread and it's a nasty surprise to slam on. So I'd take the rain and 5 degrees anytime.
There is more than aesthetics or performance that influence jersey positioning re tucked in. In Oz the range of formidable and deadly creatures you encounter on the average ride can be daunting and confronting. If its not tucked in, how can you avoid a platypus or a drop bear, a tugiron or a bunyip, a bluebottle or a tiger snake attacking, being dislodged from the foliage or being picked up in the ride and transported back home or going you soft belly, inner folds and crutch. No body wants that.
Surprised DHarco dont sell this product with these protective features more prominent and apparent in the labeling and advertising.
Again, Connor proving that RAdelaide is the worthy location for both future world cup DH and Enduro events.
This seems normal instructions to me. You wouldn't put the inside foot down. On long sweeping corners where body weight is static, outside foot all the way down to maximise grip. On quick corners where you can pump the turns to increase grip, cranks are level with a downward bias on the outside foot. I think that is what the internet says and what is Mr Fearon is doing.
I think new school is level pedals, particularly in bermed corners. I was curious and did some freeze framing. Looked more down than level is all. I don't really think the fastest riders necessarily do either exclusively, all the time.
Talk about putting on a clinic!! It's amazing how the stars to align to have a perfect World Cup run and the talent being so deep. He'll have his day next year!!

*Heads out to the slop of the Surrey Hills*
Also, was that the sound of a wheel or rim dying at 1:20?
