Anybody knows whether shrooms can help with damage to the nervous system? They seem to be quite beneficial when dealing with depression in that they help the nervous system to reroute. Would be interesting to know if there's any effect on physically damaged nerves, too.

@Muckal: strong contender for sure

For me that award goes to Urge.

@iamamodel: Made my day. Got a gorgeous movie in my head with a horde of roadies chasing someone on foot. Monty Python-esque gold, thx!

Sunday saves > friday fails. Many, many, many more positive vibes :-)

@maddcow: Last year two deaths on Hot Shots, and just a few weeks ago another one on the final jump of the Worldcup DH track. 18 year old boy died, when trying the final jump after hour with his dad. Granted, there's usually some form of user error involved. But since we're specifically talking about the motorway: it's a place, where any amateur can go as fast as 60 to 80kph. It's a blast to ride that fast, for sure. But it's very high risk imo, because of the combo of high speed and whoops and jumps that are not easy to do in some instances. I dunno, of course I am not an expert. But from my perspective as a visitor there, imo Leogang always has this kinda feel to it, which tries to challenge the rider, instead of making the rider feel good about their riding (e.g. like Whistler). The notable exception being the Flow Link at Leogang, a connection trail between the end of Hangman 1 and the start of the DH. I think that trail is especially well done and I wish they'd do more in that style. Makes you feel good riding it!

@daweil: I perceive Leogang differently. In my opinion, they're rather proud of their high-speed, high-consequence style in trail-building. Back in the days their mission statement was: Sind die Trails zu hart, bist Du zu schwach. (Roughly: If the trails are too tough, it's you, who is too weak.) The recent cases of deaths at the bikepark don't exactly change that picture.

@itssadbutdrew: that's a lame excuse for bad course design

@bashhard: In wintertime I do.

@dameathammer: ok, I better get now at what you're aiming. That's a mere course prep issue. Such corners are rare. Just stuff the off-track inside with crash pads and you're good to go.
