Qualifying Results Decide Final Standings as Junior Racing Cancelled at the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023
This is outrageous. Safety considerations - undoubtedly after consulting none of the riders or teams. Honestly pathetic. I feel bad for the juniors. Who are these people making the decisions? What a shame.

May 3, 2023Trek Slash 9.9
$2000 CADA well loved Trek Slash 9.9 from 2016. It’s light, it’s fast, and really easy to flick around. I got a new bike so no space for this bad boy here.
Newly serviced fork and shock, brakes, and newly replaced pivot bearings.
The bike has been well used - I’ve had to replace parts over it’s lifetime. I’ve had to repair the frame twice: once I repaired the downtown where a rock chipped the carbon (repaired by renowned Robert’s Composites), and I’ve had to replace the lower rear swing arm with an aluminum replacement arm after the old one cracked. Currently it’s setup with tubes, but is tubeless compatible and comes with a 27.5 CushCore.

A Colorado Hunting Non-Profit is Offering a Reward for Turning In Unsanctioned Trailbuilders
@tomgibson: I totally agree. It's unfortunate most mountain bikers don't acknowledge the impact that recreation can have on wildlife. I love mountain biking, but I can also be cognizant of unintended effects of recreating in backcountry areas, especially areas that are really important for calving young animals.
Wildlife get pushed out of areas with heavy recreational use or get they get heavily stressed, in most cases. This is a great study on it, which is cited nearly 500 times:
https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1890/1051-0761%282003%2913%5B951%3AWRTRAA%5D2.0.CO%3B2
Hunters use designated hunting areas within designated hunting seasons. These seasons do not correspond with when calving seasons are (calving happens in the spring and summer, hunting generally happens in the fall). Other recreation forms are not legally constrained by season. Mortality of wildlife is highest in their first year of life. If recreational activities can increase the chance that young animals won't get enough food, then the mortality will be higher as a direct result of recreational activity proximity. This is why hunters are concerned that recreational impacts are being overlooked in important calving areas.
It's important to look at both sides here. I ride loamers here on the shore. It's awesome. If these loamers happened to go through critical fawning habitat for local blacktail deer, then maybe we shouldn't ride those trails! What's wrong with that? Gut reactions here are the wrong reactions.
