I feel him. I washed the front end and drilled a tree going probably 30+ on my downhill bike last weekend. It didn't feel too good.

Trees scare the hell out of me. I love that feeling when you're confident just blasting through them but when you're fighting the bike, those trees become super intimidating. Watched demuth nail a tree third gear pinned and he got back on the bike and tried to finish the Moto but pulled off because he broke some ribs or his hand or something. Plus he lost one of his brakes in that wreck.

You guys are riding already, I'm jealous.... NorthStar doesn't open until 6 June and I'm counting the days!

Cool video of Ryan I had forgotten that he started doing off-road , I hope he starts to turn it around he looks like a really cool dude!

Its cool that Spies and Osborne ride GNCC stuff. Not many people know that Osborne was on the US trophy team at the ISDE last year. Just shows how talented some of these riders are.

Anyone know what frame guards he is running? They look like carbon fiber.

And less probably know that Sipes was on a US club team at ISDE last year....

Didn't know that one. Sipes has always been such a talent and overall great guy. It just never panned out in SX/MX for him. Not thru effort, but plain bad luck.
