I am hoping Lachie gets a win & Asa comes within the top 4 and seals the overall.
I’d also like Finn to beat Jordan along with him missing the overall, just because he seems like such a miserable bastard.

On the women’s side, I’d like Gracey to get a win to end the year on a high, if not her it would be great for either Lisa to get one

Nah Jordans alright, rode and talked shit on the Gondy with him in Queenstown this year, he was 3 weeks off a broken collarbone he'd just had plated and was out smashing laps in what was the most clapped QT conditions I've ever experienced. He's just a pom so he's easy to hate.
 
Sensational year of racing ; apart from Worlds Jackson was pretty quiet ; Asa was fairly consistent and when he is on he is on.

Should be some great contests in the next few years. Til, Max, Jordan, Asa and Jackson ; let alone the "old" blokes.

How good was Tilly with her bung shoulder? Will be interesting if she can dominate juniors next year. 🤞

Valli v Aletha will be interesting as well.

Oh and WTF are they feeding these kiwi boys? Seriously amazing how many good riders are coming out of Aotearoa!

Cannot wait for Hardline next LFG!
 
There’s a bit of life left in the old blokes I reckon. Kolb was right up there towards the end of the season and Pierron still got 3rd overall after what looked to be an incredibly frustrating season
 
Absolutely mate, and that's not even mentioning guys like Kiefer, Bode, Pinky, Lachie or even our LMS. Next years field will be absolutely stacked with genuine contenders every week.

They have tons of places to ride and the riding is supported by the people that throw money at it. Sorry to be negative but Australia really doesn't paint a pretty picture of wanting to support highly skilled riders and we'll be without people on World Cup teams soon enough. Clubs get grant money and build green flow trails with no intent on making technical stuff. Clubs barely run downhill events successfully without fear of it costing them more money on insurance. Some places back the sport but the lack of attention paid to nurturing a future of good riders of obvious. New Zealand has got it going on and will fill both a podium soon enough.

Going from Whistler to Lake Placid was pretty disheartening. The Lake Placid track last year was pretty good but this year's version battled pretty closely with shittest track of the year with Korea. To think of some of the venues we've dropped then replaced with places that are easy for the film crews................Fort William, Mont St Anne etc :(
