moongose (Jun 6, 2011 at 11:48)

20

kinggwarn (Jun 6, 2011 at 12:03)

Woah that's a good line-up! Can't wait!

520

D1rtJumper (Jun 6, 2011 at 12:04)

Lacondeguy probably thinks that these are too small like last years crankworx course.

61

moongose (Jun 6, 2011 at 12:23)

yer good point. but theres a few others as well who i'm kinda suprised arent in that list. what about yannick granieri? or soderstrom?

80

wolfe38 (Jun 6, 2011 at 12:47)

yea what about soderstrom?

10

alltta (Jun 6, 2011 at 12:53)

Yeah well FMB staff thas theyre best to make contests all over the world but riders don't move very much so... it's a bit sad. European riders and American/Canadian don't ride very much together

Props to all the riders that travels to all over the worlds to ride internationals contest !!

hgardner (Jun 6, 2011 at 13:06)

The events should be sorted out so the smaller ones are part of a smaller series (like one for europe ,one for north america etc.) and the big ones (rampage crankworks etc (basically gold events or higher)) should be the international series. That way the riders can be rated for there region/continent and more fairly rated interrnationally (less events in the international series means riders are more likely to go to all or most events meaning they are ranked on how many events they win/do well at rather then what is kinda happening at the moment where riders are doing well because of the amount of events they turn up to.)

zanderbiker (Jun 6, 2011 at 17:53)

i was hoping to see Gregg Watts

20

Filipei7 (Jun 6, 2011 at 19:28)

i think watts lacondeguy and pilgrim will be seriously missing.

20

dkidd FL (Jun 6, 2011 at 23:45)

this is the first year we've put the comp on... its really still in its infancy. Next year, it'll be more recognized, and we'll get more big names. for now the lineup's pretty good, and we can showcase more 'local' talent.

11

paddy-cakes (Jun 6, 2011 at 23:57)

good point hgardner but this sport has got very little money in it compared to other sports and the riders who aren't with the big flashy sponsors and teams may have to pay all their expenses so the smaller riders who have got unbelievable skills may not think it's worth spending all that money to travel to the other side of the world for a few competitions that they might not get any prize money in. But to be honest I don't see why car companies, banks, mobile phone network providers and tobacco companies don't sponsor MTB. That would bring the cash in.

DH-TOM (Jun 7, 2011 at 0:55)

Anyone notice the can of drink he is drinking is expired?

20

hgardner (Jun 7, 2011 at 9:46)

Paddy-cakes part of the reason of sepperating it into series is so if there are smaller riders who have got unbelievable skills but have to pay there expeness then they can only do the european series if they choose. That way they don't have to pay a load to get to the ammerican comps and through wining or doing well at the european series they could get a bigger sponsor then they can do the international series the following season. See where i'm coming from?

10

dkidd FL (Jun 7, 2011 at 14:52)

Nice catch, DH-Tom... I'll let Jordie know.

chonhconi (Jun 6, 2011 at 10:54)
