@RuskinL: add to that on 2 way trails you know when there is traffic coming at you a lot sooner.

Conditions definitely improved throughout the day

@jokermtb: shocked he even tried to ride Q2, I just missed it but everyone there said it was pretty bad. But that's Amaury, he is built different.

The audio was horrible, Ben should have just talked over it. Love his reports and course previews but I took my head phones off about half way through. Joe was giving good information, just couldn't listen.

@swellhunter: I would have went straight to the bar after that

Legend has it that #28 is still tumbling through the woods to this day

@IsaacWislon82: Thanks! I guess the word "Soft" scared me, I remember "Slow Reezaays" and they lasted a race weekend.

Serious question for you Conti riders. I have been a DHF/DHR rider for a long time. I use the DH casing Maxxgrip on my park wheel set and have usually a EXO+ on the front and either a DD or EXO+ on the rear in Maxxterra for trail riding. This combo just works for me. I have tried Assegai front, Dissector rear and I was okay with them. But especially for trail riding the EXO+ has enough sidewall and Maxxterra enough grip and the tires are around 1000-1100grams. For reference I am in the northeast, where conditions can change day to day. I want to try Conti's, I hear they wear better than Maxxis?? I usually go through about 2-3 rear tires and 1-2 front each year for trail riding. What Conti set up should I try?? I know this is a lot to ask but again I don't need to be rolling around on 1300-1400gram tires in a soft compound that wears away.

If you correct everything at once they can't sell you a new bike every couple of years because the new numbers are so much better!!!

Good thing #30 didn't ride off that drop
