Must Watch: Danny MacAskill’s Postcard from San Francisco
They each have their own unique vibe. I'm glad for that, and I like'em both.

Must Watch: Braydon Bringhurst Attempts to Climb the Whole Enchilada in '8600FT'
I would have way more respect for Braydon's achievement if he did it using Crank Bros' patented pedal strike self-eject system.

Mathias Flückiger Provisionally Suspended After Testing Positive for Zeranol
@won-sean-animal-chin: From the Canadian male MTB side, Green, McGrath, Sheppard all received some degree of slap on the wrist. Ryder exited the game with lots of smoke, but no verified or sanctioned fire.

[Updated with Overall] Final Results from the Snowshoe XC World Cup 2022
@mrkkbb: The women in the 3, 6, and 9 places of the World Cup standings did not make the trip over from Europe. There are a couple of other riders like Ferrand-Prevot and Frei who are not in the top 10 but often pull some good results. Based on this info and the fact that the U.S. women generally looked like they had very good form for this race weekend, it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference. Maybe some pushed down a couple of positions, or maybe not. Results go to those who show up on the line. Woulda coulda shoulda is meaningless.

[Updated with Overall] Final Results from the Snowshoe XC World Cup 2022
@Augustus-G: Both winners Keller and Valero are, as far as I know, the tallest riders in their respective fields. Just a weird quirk I think, but an interesting one. To win XC races usually means the highest power to weight ratio on the day. At her size and similar power to weight as other top women riders, she must be putting down a lot more power in absolute watts.

When he pulled a gap through one of those last singletrack sections I thought his comeback from the flat was complete. Would have been incredible for him to pull off the Snowshoe double. All signs point to him being in a position to fight for other wins in the future though. Valero did a great job of burning his available matches at the right times.

With a little more experience riding world cups she can probably become a consistent contender for high placings. The U.S. women did a great job out there today stacking the top 10 finishes.

Little plug for Sandra Walter in the women's XC. Never hear her name mentioned since she's not anywhere near podiums, but she was born in 1980 and is riding the full world cup calendar this year. She was the last rider to finish on the lead lap today, in 24th place. I know there have been other riders on the circuit in the past who were still getting big results in their later years (Gunn-Rita, Spitz and others) but the average rider age seems to be getting younger, so props to her for keeping motoring on.

@Thirty3: I like having some different riding styles to watch. Good on both of them.

4 seconds up at split 3 indicates there is probably a lot more speed to be gotten out of the track, which a few of the elites will probably find. Due to the start order, I'm guessing Jackson already knew that Jordan lost time, and from that had a good idea about what type of run he needed to put down without overcooking it. If that assumption is correct, that's just elite level race management by Jackson to effectively race the other riders and balance risks versus results.
