The last and final race of the season for the 2023 UCI Downhill MTB World Cup is upon us and Jackson Goldstone gives us the inside look at the new course setup this year.— GoPro Bike
I was in Bromont last weekend (another lift park closer to Montreal that has hosted WC races in the past) and it was like something out of movie. Though we had a freak heat wave so the combination of fall colours and shorts was bizarre.
JG is a killer rider! Epic looking course and mind blown with casual convo rolling as he rips through all that granite shelving and slabs. Philippe is about to bring some torrential for the weekend though… hopefully it just hits here and moves East and the mountain doesn’t get mucked.
Great footage and commentary! "This section is super flowy.." yeah, right. Thats because you are in the air 99% of that section lol! 3:01 holy cow! Pant change time.
Think I sucked my pants up my arse when he tried that no brake-er. What a boy. Looked like he was having a bunch of fun. Hope he goes well this weekend. Track looks ace.
These Goldstone previews are pure gold (or also stones). The guy is so young that if he continues these, we will be able to enjoy these for a long time.
What season? This whole entire new format, coverage and the long wait to just do the first race of the year is total crap if you ask me! I haven't watched one race except for the stupid Semi finals replays and winning runs clips. To top it all off with the absence of King ROB!! Discovery can kiss my Grits !!!
I've enjoyed one of the best DH racing season in recent memory. If you care more about the format and presenters than 8 different male winners, you might not actually be a race fan.
@suspended-flesh: I beg to differ and would suggest the same with you if in recent memories this is one of your best. I can say without a doubt since i've been in tune with WCDHR, this one for me ranks as one of if not the least exciting and disappointing. Not on behalf of the riders but for all i mentioned earlier that is. Though i would not wish, not to have the races but i truly believe it can be far better than what we currently have... MWCDHGA! Multiple racers out with injuries early on cut the field down. Heck even Jackson had to miss out some but thankfully he's healthy now! Then there was the Rain that pissed down and made shit out several races and determined the pack fill riders to place better than the top guys. Even the racers themselves are not digging the format, as it puts too much demand on them, exhausting them for what could be potentially a far better performance for finals; to the point that they become more susceptible to injuries, thus, holding back or not being 100% for the main race.
I could ramble on with more but you get what i'm saying. Anyway all that aside and moving on; I hope we witness a stellar race again at the infamous MSA this weekend and thank's to all the Racers, Their Sponsors, Teams, Support, Announcers, Venues, Media, PB, Bike Companies, and so on and so forth!!!!
Who are you banking on to WIN? I'm pulling for (1st. Jackson than BK if not him to win, either would be bonkers!! For the Gals (1st Marine than Nina if not her for the win!! Good Luck to all
@suspended-flesh: Fake News! Nowhere did i say the season was total crap but rather..."This whole entire new format, coverage and the long wait to just do the first race of the year is total crap, if you ask me!"
If you feel the need to debate that your more than welcome, but please do not distort what was actually said in pointing out detailes what i perceive, as well as multitudes of fans and racers alike. Ride On!
@suspended-flesh: Congratulations! i monitored the live times, it was nuts, thought BK was finally gonna do it, then the young Jedi changed history! can't wait to watch the replay top runs.
Naa for me I'd be hanging on for dear life rolling over everything
3:01 holy cow! Pant change time.

I don't actually agree with your point either, the format is part of racing and it's perfectly valid for people to prefer the old format.
