The UCI & Skydance Unveil 2027 Mountain Bike World Cup Race Calendar
@tetonlarry: Lithium is fun, I like Fuzzy Bunny too. I think Jimmy's and Parallel are very poorly built. Black's is fun, but the riding is pretty limited. One of my best friends lives there and I used to spend 2 weeks every summer there. Jackson is a pretty forgettable park, I like Targhee but it's small. Overall, I don't think the US venue should be anywhere that's super hot and blown out all riding season, which is basically Tahoe, Jackson, anywhere in Colorado or Utah, etc. That's why I think New England or the PNW are our best bets!

@tetonlarry: I'm not trying to offend anyone, but it's true. You can only ride Lithium so many times before it gets boring. Both bike parks are pretty bad. For the record, I didn't say Tahoe should host either. I think Silver Mountain or Killington are the best options. But yeah, Jackson is not a bike town really. It doesn't feel like one at all

@hamncheez: not being facetious, but what infrastructure? JMHR is just a ski area and it's over an hour from town in the summer with traffic. What's unique about it? There's not much riding culture in Jackson either. Just seems like there are far better options in the US

@hamncheez: 15 actually, and Tahoe gets considerably more tourism in the summer as well

@tetonlarry: they're so dusty and blown out, I think Killington, Silver or Snoqualmie would be better venues. Avoiding Colorado, Utah and Wyoming would be the best bet IMO

@hamncheez: JHMR and Targhee are both so mid. We have so many better options for a US round

Throwback Thursday: The Legendary Repack DH Race Turns 50
To be fair the road was in much better shape back then, but it’s still absolutely insane

@Mtbdialed: haha, I’d rather have fewer. Trails are a lot more crowded these days now that anyone can ride thanks to ebikes
