I have not seen Kyle in person since last year, but I saw some videos and photos of him recently and I can not believe how big he is, I think if he got on a team with a champion instead of always clowning around with Powell he could step it up a few notches.
As for Sam, I am pretty sure he was on the podium a lot as a jr. and winning senior races in Oz-dont quote me on that, but I am pretty sure.
Still no update on Sam Hill's elbow from anyone? except that he went home? Updates, I want updates! The fans love em.

del taco flatted high on the course in the qualifiers, by the bottom his rim was in several pieces. he flatted again in the finals. tough luck.
man dine lost his pedal (non drive?).... i still have no clue how he finished as well as he did.
prokop got taken out by schmitty. pimped is one way to put it i guess...
i couldnt keep track of which beaumont was which but one was practicing in a button down shirt with pearl snaps (some say stupid, i say classy) and the other was on the white v-10 with the mbuk crew. either way, both of them were looking really fast. same with the panazzo brothers. joel was lookign super fast in rpactice and every single time i saw liam he was making something look faster than most people.
telluride 02 was the last world cup in the states. i had fun at that one too. i am certainly looking forward to more events like this in the states in coming years!

Sam's elbow is ok. He cracked it, but it is not a concern from any of the doctors he saw. It will heal fine. The major concern is some ligament damage in his arm. He can ride, but going off of curbs and such are causing him pain.
He will definitely be ready for the world cup in Italy. He is currently back in Oz trying to strengthen his arm.
As far as Kyle goes, he is huge!!!! He also is rocking a very Guns and Roses look with long hair and a bandanna around his head!

Oh yeah Beaumont. He was riding Rennie's bike from last year. His bike didn't quite make it back from Brazil. I think someone in South America has themselves a very nice V10 right now...

shoot...first time I saw the kid, I thought he was a linebacker...he's a big dude. His training regimen is what...riding every friggin day of his life?? Dude has been at every race, event, comp, tour, demo and venue in the world. He's the friggin' 'Where's Waldo?" of cycling.
Not to diss on Specialized, especially considering a buddy works there and does awesome work, but their getting near "Palmer" value out of him. Too bad he can't get paid like it....

With that I assume prokop was one pissed guy in New Mex...

That's kind of crappy of Prokop. If Kyle's move was an accident, that's just racing. I would say that it did take some courage for Kyle to approach Prokop to apologize.

SWWEEEETT!!! That's what I'm talkin' about....photographic proof that you got your ass handed too you. Somebody find Prokop's website and email it to him...then post what his response is...that would be funny to read. That looks just like the footage from Earthed of the English 4x when the guy landed on the other bike.
If I was Strait, I wouldn't apologize...

A picture is worth a thousand words. Based on the pictures, it looks like it was an accident. Considering most riders were probably jumping that double, I bet Kyle never expected to see someone rolling that jump. It a lot of ways it was Prokop's fault for not jumping and getting in Kyle's way. neaky:
In addition, it's not like he took Prokop out and kept going, Kyle went down, as well, and it looks like Rennie crashed into Kyle. I know if I rolled a jump and got in someone's way, I would take some blame for the crash, as well. Oh well, that's just racing, it happens...
Imagine if a rider rolled a triple, and Chad Reed came along and landed on him, do you think Reed would walk up to him to say he was sorry...not likely!

DoubleDown, you the man for givin us the inside scoops! thanks!
The pics of prokop/kyle incident are priceless-now arent you all glad I told the store to get the pics! love it.
Butch...Booties seems to have more issues with other riders, more than Lopes. I think he has done EC wrong more than a few times.
Godamn, lovin that photo sequence above, much appreciated.
