@flipoffthemonkeys: luck is a wonderful thing and I hope it stays with you. I gave up riding on the road because it's just got too dangerous

I guess if fields get smaller then mtb teams will have to send scouts out to national series. Isn't shop sponsorship kinda like giving young people a hand up and then it's up to company reps ect

I watched a video about football the English premier league wages from a retired keeper . He got asked the question if he thouggt players got paid too much. His response was they are paid how much they are worth as an asset to the club , he said there were some who's wages were massive but on the whole they weren't paid that much. The issues with mtb is the fields are very big and with under 23 and 19 . I reckon it costs a lot of money for the teams to travel with maybe only limited TV / spectator revenue . Maybe the fields need to be smaller and up and coming racers need to focus on national racing series, if they are good enough to move up to wc level I bet teams will take more notice of a national series if this is the talent pool.

would you look at that, now kids can pick a wheel size and be a dick about it.... but seriously my daughter has just made the jump from 20 to 24 inch and is loving it. we didn't have any dramas. in a way it was so much easier on the bigger wheels.

I did feel Brad was hard done by on the last race. The old saying goes " if you want to finish first you first have to finish " granted Emmett did finish but he had to run nearly a whole stage, bad luck, yes. Racing, yes. If like to know if Brad was a little bit more conservative after his flat? I know I would of been. Yes Flo was always so far ahead of the other girls I do feel they knew it was all over after day 1.

So the rocky is down down country?

It's bikes like this that make me wish i was a park rat again....

He needs a standing ovation the whole way down on Saturday.. The second to last of the old guard. Mick you're and always will be a legend...

I thought he would of signed for a big team while he's young and collect the cash maybe just like a squirrel collects nuts so he's not trying to catch them during the winter of his career. Or try to find a new job catching the furry little criters

What an awesome track.
