What? So Kirt Voreis wasn't there for opening day?

I suspect that EJ will continue with the same formula in the next few contests as it's obviously working well and he probably wants to beat Semenuks record. But I wonder if he reads the comments. It would be awesome if busted out some flips and twists to prove his critics wrong. I also wonder how the other top riders feel about the judging.

Only Fans could come on board as a sponsor?

Oh I do see Braytons name. I guess I was excited about Ratboy and didn't look good

@pacojo: cool. I missed him when scanning the list.

Yeah it's awesome. He was there before but didn't actually race. I can't remember why though. Hope Brook gets to race this year too. What happened with Brayton?

Ratboy and Sam but who is the third?

@haighd2: a quick Google search indicates that the UK has better crime stats than Chile. Obviously there are variations in different regions. North Chile seems to be having a dramatic increase. Not sure how they arrive at an overall crime rate number but Bradford is on par with Chile. There is definitely a perception that the UK has a huge problem with bike thefts and thefts from cars but apparently the latter is more common in Chile.

The Cannondale waves thing was definitely a step in the cool direction. Is that still a thing? And if so, where is the launch video?

@pisgahgnar: I agree. From what I can gather teams are paying a lot to compete and this new EDR/DH system is supposed to make mountain biking a more professional sport. So Yeti are acting very professional IMO. Might seem unfair (to the smaller teams and privateers) and against the original ethos of Enduro but Yeti were smart with their preseason.
