One of my favorite riders ever. Karver rules!

Damn daniel!

So sad! He will be missed, such a great dude.

I was hoping rude was back to dh

So is everyone pre-ordering their gt?

I wish new england had a series like this

I love downhill racing. I love watching it, i love reading about it. That being said, i believe skill and mental toughness trumps all when it comes to riding as in most other sports. Chris Kovarik came onto the scene in 99 and smoked a lot of guys on a 6 inch travel gt lobo, when other guys were riding newer 8 inch travel bikes. The old aussie qranc team used to crush people on these bikes. Search the video of Richie Schley and Thomas Vanderham destroying BC trails on xc bikes and how fast and smooth they are. In my opinion most people do not need these type of bikes, unless they are racing all season in a competitive class. People get too caught up in what gear they have instead of going out and riding constantly to improve. Bottom line, mountain biking is awesome and you can ride any bike and have a blast. Although having gwinny's bike would be pretty sick :)
