I hope Nina crushes it this year! We got to chat with her at the last 2 Snowshoe world cups. She took lots of time to talk with my 2 daughters in both English and German. I couldn't think of a better role model for my girls both on and off the track.

She was the same when she visited us down in Maydena, in Tasmania! Even during their filming she took the time to ride a few sections with one of the young girls, and then made time to join our women's social lap on the Friday night.

@TasGravityGirls: that’s rad. It is rare to find someone who takes what they do so seriously and yet doesn’t take themselves too seriously.

Great stuff! Not the usual words that are constantly seen and heard in downhill sport. An honest video that was finally human and interesting again.

That was a great watch. That kind of mindset of focusing on your own strengths and not looking too much at what others are doing is something that is not only good advise for racing, but life in general.

Hadn't heard the bit about big breaths at the very end before. Will try. Need to get to 100% of my 50% ability...

Anyone know the rules for that hand slapping game?

I’ve been playing hand slaps for 40+ years. Passed it down to my sons. Great way to kill time waiting in lines. Should be an Olympic sport by now.

@andrewbmxmtb: Ah thanks.
"Red hands" I've played, this looks... different? Hands touching opponent prayer style, pull hand back to thigh....at some cue.

..."that's why I always leave the gate smiling".
Whaaaaaaaaaa

She's currently my favorite DH female rider and I'm so excited to see her riding every time.
Her talent, style, commitment, consistency, lovely personnality and great sense of humor make her someone really special.
Looking forwards to seeing her at the top of the top 'cos she's definitely made for that.
Allez Nina!!!!!

I have to admit at the start of the season I didn't like the trousers with the big surnames on, but now I kinda like it.
