Fastest times for both men and woman taken by junior kiwis. Love to see it! Been so long since a kiwi elite win. Good signs for the years ahead

Heard he had a big slam during practice prior to finals.. hoping he's not too injured and he can make it to Lake Placid.

So, it's just 1 round of qualifying for the elites at world champs? No last chance dance. How many get through for men and woman?

What are you finding as the ideal radial combo..? What's your riding conditions?

Lachie Stevens-McNab is still getting slept on.. gonna be sick to see them fighting it out

I never learnt how to wheelie or manual when I was young. During the Covid lockdown in New Zealand, I got the Ryan Leech how to wheelie in 30 days online tutoria and a pair of flat pedalsl. Was pretty demoralising trying to learn for the first 25 days or so. Would make progress one day, wheelie for 3m, then go backwards the next 2 and barely get a wheelie started. After practicing everyday for 20 or 30 minutes for 5 weeks, I could pretty consistently get one effort a session where I could do 50-100m. Now I can do them for as long as I want. I put the same effort into manualling a year or so ago, and now can do the same with them. As someone who was close to 40 before starting to learn, and skeptical about what my ceiling would be with both, it's pretty rewarding to be able to do both super easily and confidently now, and would encourage anyone wanting to learn, especially older people, to follow one of those programmes that break down the skill into all the little movements so you're able to learn them individually, rather than trying to learn how to wheelie on day 1.

@L0rdTom: Is that actually true?!
