I want to see Mark Wallace's section in the rocks played over and over. The replay they showed was only slow motion and while cool, real time made my jaw hit the floor. So b.a.

He is not fit enough and overshot the last corner.

However it's 5 min ride, but he should stop drinking beer!
Wtf are you talking about?
If he's not fit enough and that caused him to overshoot, what does that have to do with minaar not shaking his hand?
And lastly, are you blaming beer?
Don't ever blame beer.

Whenever I read one of your posts, the first thing I say to myself is "what is the point this dude is trying to make?" You rarely make any sense

Bigboy, why would I make sense? Are you blind enough not see that we are in Ridemonkey?!

Lets say minnar didn't want shake his hand because hart fucked his girl? Does it make more sense now? In men's world.

I think there is some sort of truth to this.
Dunno, they both did stick with the same suspension company which should be the biggest influence after geometry. And the geo on the Trek isn't that unusual.

That would make sense if true, and that's my point. Your posts are mindless drivel. There is no point

Has anybody heard about Gee vs. Rat yet? Apparently there was some combat at the party last night. It sounds like a hammered Rat was "taking the piss out of" Gee. Possibly gay jokes about the rainbow jersey? I would not want to mix it up with Gee, but luckily for Ratboy, Sam Dale was on his side.

I dunno

I went from 2 seasons on a tr450, to one season on a tr500 (26), to taking the suspension off my tr500 and putting it on a v-10 (with 650bzzzzzzz) and here i am halfway through the season still trying to dial the bike in to suit me.

I get that I'm a hack rider and a hack mechanic...but, if I am noticing it and having trouble getting dialed in, imagine the guy (gwin) who claims to notice .5 psi in his tires. If it aint right for them (neko and gwinn) it aint right.

Granted they get in WAY more testing time with people who can get that shit sorted, but, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see guys at that caliber get thrown off with a new ride.

I've never been able to get comfortable on a V10 granted I never gave it any extended length of time but it was just very different than anything I was ever used to.

I think normally these things come down to 1-2 riders within a hundred points of eachother. Impressive that this far into the season, there are 4 riders who could easily take the leaders jersey.

Part of my problem is my lack of riding skill and lack of suspension tuning knowledge, I can make a good bike feel like dog shit in no time flat.

I made some great improvements in the overall feel last time out by slowing my rebound down 2 clicks front and rear. I'll get there.

the story of gee and rat


"

So, the story goes, Sir Gee Atherton was conversing with a bystanders on course during practice at Mont Sainte Anne when Sir Josh Bryceland showed up unprovoked, dropped his trousers and began shaking his exposed flesh weapon at Sir Atherton in front of God and everybody. Words were exchanged and there was some pushing and shoving. The interaction was heated, and just when it seemed that the tussle was over, the two went after each other once more. The bystanders were in the act of separating Sir Gee and Sir Josh when out of the blue, Sir Sam Dale jumped into the fray and decided this was his moment to get a piece of the reigning World Champion. Sir Dale sucker-punched Sir Atherton a couple of times in the head while the Champ was being held back.

Medical experts say that a man's heart can only pump enough blood to keep either his brain or his privates running at full potential - but never both at the same time. Look no further for proof of that.

Another less plausible explanation is that when Gee, Josh and Sam heard that Gwin won without a chain, they thought they heard "brain" and said: "Amputate mine, I want to win one of those things!" Fight your pet peeves on your bicycles, gentlemen."

anyone have a link to wallace's run? it got cut out of the redbull condensed recap (although props to redbull for giving equal time to men and women in their recap).
