Pinkbike's own Tom Bradshaw coming in hot in 16th. That's worthy of some L&P

Had the stones to take on WC racers on MT7 and put in a respectable time that is somewhere around the record time in the late 90's/early2000s set by top canadian dhers. A lot can go wrong on that course in a number of sections over that length of time

On a hardtail. Video coming very soon.

@enduroNZ: And he still went faster than all the women, which honestly surprised me. Casey Brown ain't slow!

Steeper than most DH courses, and a brutal punchy uphill in the middle that would make most enduro courses blush. It's a brute.

Hats off to our two locals putting down solid runs.
Even snagged a podium in the women’s.

notphaedrus (Sep 27, 2021 at 2:28)

Go Joe!

bikesandbeers (Sep 27, 2021 at 6:54)

stinkball (Sep 27, 2021 at 9:17)

dkendy1 FL (Sep 27, 2021 at 12:37)

DHam (Sep 27, 2021 at 11:36)

Why are there so few participants for a crankworks event.

thelastrun (Sep 27, 2021 at 5:11)

Don’t know what’s better that mountain or town pub

anchoricex (Sep 27, 2021 at 12:15)

Hell ye Casey!

Not keen on the race title....

For all the positive talk in the biking community about mental health issues, it's odd that regressive names like this are still around. Also, just cringey anyway.

@aaronjb: yup and they add it as below threshold thread...stigma comes in many forms it is a shame they consider using it in the first place.

@aaronjb: how bout stop peddling the idea that an insensitive name (by your defintion) should cause someone to fall apart.

@Adamrideshisbike: You've won me over with your compelling logic.

suspended-flesh FL (Sep 27, 2021 at 6:35)

@klerric: "They"?

sonuvagun (Sep 27, 2021 at 6:47)

@aaronjb: If you don't, at least, offer up a better substitute then you're not helping.

ratedgg13 FL (Sep 27, 2021 at 8:55)

Before people get too critical, some context is in order. As what was for a long time the single longest and hardest mtb race, the idea was that during your 11 minutes of flat out racing, your mind and body are depleted. By the bottom of a brutal race run, you often struggle to function, leaving you in a state of 'psychosis'. This isn't some derogatory or demeaning phrase, but rather an accurate descriptor of the race event. This is literally an event that Sam Hill said he didn't want to do anymore because of its difficulty.

aaronjb (Sep 27, 2021 at 8:58)

@ratedgg13:

klerric (Sep 27, 2021 at 9:42) (Below Threshold)

and this is why we all could do with a little more education around mental health and stigma...

suspended-flesh FL (Sep 27, 2021 at 13:53)

@klerric: You can't call a sui a Suicide No-Hander on some platforms now without mind-guardrails slapped onto your post by the algorithm. I'm a bleeding-heart lefty, but c'mon mazafakas!

aaronjb (Sep 27, 2021 at 19:05)

@suspended-flesh: Suicide has a very real context for some people. I'm glad it doesn't resonate in that way for you, sincerely.

We can do better as a community.

Lighten up, Francis...

suspended-flesh FL (Sep 27, 2021 at 19:24)

@aaronjb: My friend hung himself with his own belt in front of his living room fireplace while we were partying in the kitchen with his girlfriend and my female housemate jumped off the golden gate bridge based on a misunderstanding.

I am totally down with 800-273-8255 but I don't believe in silencing words. If anything, words like Femicide should be out in the open and discussed and stopped......

aussiebiker13 (Sep 29, 2021 at 4:47)

I guess to put it quite simply, everyone has to be offended by absolutely everything and anything these days. Its not that deep, if you can be offended by words you've got bigger issues at hand..
