well personally old bean, after watching DH and 4X i think 4X was more exciting to watch. maybe if you had actually competed at a world cup event, you could comment on why no-one seems to be passing? But id take a guess and say that trying to pull a passing move on a world cup pro, requires a...

Joking around is certainly what Cedric is known for, and thats what he wants people to beleive, but I think you would find that when he is in the gate he would be all business, he just realizes that race results aren't all that is important at the end of the day. Im sure he still would love...

picking a straight up top 3 is too hard, so im gonna go 5 names, which I think all have an equal chance of top 3. DH Men Sam Hill Greg Minnaar Steve Peat Gee Atherton Sam Blenkinsop DH Women Rachel Atherton Tracy Mosely Sabrina Jonnier Emmeline Ragot Celine Gros 4X Men...

Due to the fact that this thread is 14 months old and going absolutely nowhere, I think you all need to GTFO!

I think the safest bet is that Jade has made a decision long ago, seeing as the question was origionally asked 14 months ago. But I can almost guarantee someone wont bother to read what has been said before, and put in their 2 cents, in their haste to lead poor Jade towards whatever fork they have.

Anything custom on the bike would be done in a very subtle manner, as to make it look the same as a production frame. If you do a, 1 degree angle change here, and a .5 inch longer tube there, it is hardly going to be noticeable from a picture. Frame looks sick!

Has'nt every country always been allowed to take 7 riders, plus reigning champ? There was 8 spots last year for mens DH

yeah that makes much more sense than just showing 10 seconds of each rider. thanks again to SBS

Im a big Sam Hill fan, so don't get me wrong. But here's a point you can't overlook Rennie is a big, stong dude. Sam....not so much. I'll never write him off, but things are majorly stacked against him for the rainbows in 09.

keep in mind that every other rider will be training hard for that race to get fitter and stronger, and even with waiting for a few seonds he was still 9 seconds off the pace. No doubt he steps up for the big races, but I think this years world champs may be beyond his grasp. Sam is a...

he probably wants his international competitors to think he's not a threat on the track, plus it gives him an excuse for not winning. I would say it was more like 3 or 4 seconds that he waited for, certainly not 5, which still would have left him a good 4 seconds short of Hannah and Graveys...

Yes, but when Duncan Riffle was on the team, they had officially switched bike sponsors, and the team was then known as Ironhorse/Honda. As mentioned earlier, GT and Mongoose are the same company essentially, he did'nt recive his Fury, and GT gear in time, therefore he still represented...

WOW, that is a perfect example of how wrong information gets spread around. Yes Mongoose and GT are owned by the same people, The mongoose and GT teams are the same team, But he will definately be riding a GT with GT stickers on it and be wearing a GT jersey. I dont know the reason why, but...

If that is the exact spec of the bike, in the pic from the link, I would be gobsmacked too! for $9300 you would be getting ripped off! Nice bike, but not "$9300" nice

It bugs me when people start whining about tracks for having pedally sections, maybe people should accept that while we are riding pedal powered bikes, there will be a good chance of having pedally sections in tracks. yes the bottom pedalling section sucks, but every now and then a track like...
