@yeahbutreally. Come on man. Sure it's not the Swiss Alps, but the track looks fun. And I don't care how steep it is, when your shredding a trail with your friends thats as good as it gets. Go be grumpy elsewhere

As long as he doesn't have any bad luck, Gwin should win Val Di Sole by at least 5 seconds. Maybe more. I wanna see him and Hill tangle there so bad. But not this year. Maybe someday.

Good tip! I always ride with a tube and CO2 cartridge. Through all my years of riding I've been lucky to only get one flat on a day of riding, never 2. But I always wondered what I'd do if I got a 2nd flat on one ride. Now I got a 2nd backup plan. Very basic tech tuesday, but a useful idea. Too many people bashing this tech tuesday, when this could save someones ride someday down the road.

I'm hardly sad or jealous. Like I said, I like Gwin a lot. And I know he works his @$$ off and he has tones of talent. I give him all the credit in the world for that. I just hope/don't want it to be true. All of us are part of one of the most genuine sports on the planet. It's one of the few sports that still has credibility. I just don't wanna see the sport loose it, that's all. Trek does have the reputation for this (from road teams of course). Don't look at what I said as being negative. Fact is it's an unfortunate reality that most pro sports face. These discussions bring awareness to the problems all sports face. Talking about it raises awareness, and hopefully generates protocoil to prevent the problem so it never happens at all. All of the major north American sports (NHL, MLB, NFL etc) are so screwed when it comes to performance enhancers because they turned a blind eye to it for so many years that it has become part of the culture. I love all MTB disciplines and I just don't wanna see it turn into a negative media circus like most other sports have become. My first comment wasn't ment to sound like I was trolling or pointing fingers. Re-reading my above comment it did sound like I was accusing them. Not really the way I ment it to sound. Just ment that it's possible but hoping it's not true, and I wanted to hear others opinions as well. Sorry to thoes who took it that way. Never the less, tomorrow will be wild. The tracks looks so fun!

@Deeds... Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if Trek WR is spending time with Trek's Radioshack team....... I don't want to believe it to be true, but I can't help but wonder at this point. Negitive prop all you want, but Trek has all the money, all the best training, and most importantly all the best doctors. I don't know what Gwin is taking, but there must be something funny in his blood. I saw a recent interview with him (I think regarding the new carbon bike) and he said himself the last 2 years he's been missing a step over the top 4 or 5 guys. All of a sudden this year he signs with a mega company and he's unstopable. I hope it's not true, I like Gwin but I can't help but wonder anymore. That being said, Go Stevie Smith! End Gwins streak!!!
