If anyone lives in the West Orange area, please share this on your socials so we can get the guy.

A friend was killed in a hit and run in eagle rock reservation in west orange Wednesday afternoon. If anyone has any information please share with the police.

Can you talk about Tiz? I've heard the name but have no knowledge. Can you watch world cups there in the US? VPN needed?

MSA in the books. Good race at least for the men. Watching the women's race was frustrating because Rick and CG were completely forgetting crashes when thinking about time in each stage. So stupid. Nina and Vali the class of the field and it's not really competitive after them right now. For the...

Now who has THAT as their fantasy podium?

Dak wins the US Open in Vermont but the big story is this 15 yr old kid who came in 2nd ahead of minnaar and goldstone. What the hell? And it looks like this kid Asa Vermette was fastest through the first four splits? Crazy. Asa is on Neko's frameworks bike and team btw

I'll give you an example of a Dave memory. We hadn't raced in a couple years and we chatted about riding. He said let's ride new years day 7am because this is Dave. We meet at Ringwood and it's a world of ice. We have no studded tires or even tubeless setups -- Dave as usual brought his rigid...

Dave Castner, long time member of the group and old XC racer and Vernon area rider, passed away last month in a motorcycle accident. I saw a mention of it in someone's blog but I wanted to bring it to the surface because Dave was a hell of a guy. He was one of the funniest and most original...

I ride 150mm for almost everything and I like it better. Short travel bikes are twitchy and less fun for me. So if you can get a great deal on a 120mm xc bike then sure you'll probably love it since it's light years better than anything from a decade ago. But consider a 140/150mm trail bike and...

Honestly that's probably more a long the lines of what Enduro really is. A more regional and more accessible bike series. It's not really a world cup, right? Maybe we're just asking too much of it. Doesn't help it's not as TV friendly.

I will note that I don't really follow the Enduro racing series at all, even with it's somewhat alignment to the DH and XC world cups this year. Maybe I just haven't had it served up to me like red bull did for so many years with DH and XC. But apparently enduro may not happen next year?

I would huck it like you stole it until you can't stand the look of it any longer.

I don't remember that though that seems very possible. I think Haley batten and Kate Courtney shared a podium a couple years ago, XCC or XCO. But anyway, yeah it's not often. So congrats to the american women XC riders who have the deepest competitive field of any American MTB group right now.

For the women's XCO race today, two Americans podiumed. When was the last time two Americans podiumed in any world cup race -- XCO, XCC, DH or Enduro, men or women?

I didn't know that frame was only 165mm. When I saw Anna race I thought her bike was too reactive and sure enough that now makes sense. Hopefully they can give her more travel soon.

The best American woman downhiller is Anna newkirk. She and her friend started a team last year called beyond racing. Their bike sponsor is contra bikes. Have you seen their frame?

And les gets elite qualies are in! Almost a near duplicate of last weeks final qualifying seeds. And dak 3rd! Surprised to see Finn and hodan Williams outside the top 10, but maybe with the semis there's less pressure to perform in qualies.

I was just going to say that it's nice seeing some American junior men competing and even winning world cups this year. When is the last time an American man won a junior world cup race?

The men's race was great. Obviously I'm a huge fan of one guy who podiumed so I'm thrilled. The course was cool but overall a bit meh compared to the best courses like vallnord, les gets and mont st anne. Not my favorite especially given how slow they seemed to be going in the first half. Weird...

Its Rick right? He's knowledgeable and you can tell he watches downhill but his voice is so lackluster and he has so little presence that it just doesn't work. You hear him mumbling something and then CG shouts "What can he do!!!" And so you turn the volume down.
