 This Mick guy seems pretty quick, maybe he should consider doing a World Cup or 2.

 Just because he's doing well now doesn't mean he can step straight up to WC. Given him a few years to really settle in and work on his craft then step it up I reckon. Maybe a 5-year goal.

 I thought Kialani was Kalani for a second. I was like "let's go jenna's friend". But realize Kialani was from Murica.

 Does every round of Crankworx World Tour have both Air DH and the main DH? Is Air DH not as important, given it's not televised and lots of top riders didn't do it?
