Looking forward to seeing this one. I hope gwin's chain doesn't jam again!

Shizer, that course looks legit, as it seems to offer a little bit of everything. Looking forward to this, as it will be interesting to see how things play out with a Worlds Champ being crowned and the overall is also over.

[Mr Lahey]

Exciting looking course... wooden stuff looks really skinny and awkwardly placed though?

Monsoon yesterday. 4c here today. brrr.

There have been some changes to the track since that vid' was recorded last year. They have made the jumps in the beginning a bit bigger, the track is generally a bit rougher and more blown out, the tabletop to berm at 1:10 has been made about 2 meters longer and the berm higher with better support. The track is just awesome, and I'm super stoked to be here and getting to see the top dogs blowing through these forests.

And I live next to Devinci Global Racing, maybe I should see if Smith wants to trade his carbon frame with my alu wilson? Not like he needs it after this saturday anyways.....

Transcend: The forecast is saying -4 with a slight dusting of snow tomorrow morning at 7-8 o'clock, so I hope you brought your long pants... (I'm riding shorts but hey, I'm swedish )

I think shorts are his long pants....










sorry dude, I had to- not enough short jokes around here lately.

Who decided a mid-September World Cup Final should take place next to the arctic circle? Are they just trying to f*ck with the Aussies and Soffas?

dirt day I

[Transcend]

Epic day. Rode the park all morning (which is SICK). Did a course walk on a track that has Sam Hill more excited than I have ever seen him, and then did a team staff DH race on my trail bike on and off the WC track. So much fun. Norway rules.
