Stevie's legacy looks to be in full effect. 4 canadians in the top 5 of jr men. Watching Finns quali run reminded me of Stevie a few times

Wow I jinxed my team. Got hammered - dead last this round in the TGR league.

Friends visiting, so just now managed to finish watching the race.
Is it just me, or did anyone else think the track was not compelling to watch. So short. So much platform. So much blown out dust. Definitely didn’t make me want to ride that track. Didn’t really even get me stoked to ride. Doesn’t help that the old track was sick.

Going into it, I was bummed they ditched the old track - the old one was one of my favorites, and the new one didn't seem that interesting.
But the new one produced some great racing, and it's at least different from the other tracks on the calendar. Ultra loose blown out moon dust makes for some entertaining sketchiness, and it was pretty clear that some people (like gwin) are pretty comfortable on that kind of track while others were in survival mode.

This was one of my biggest take aways. Highlighted by Matt Walker's Flying sidekick fall.
I've ridden enough dust to know how easily those 2-4" rocks get lost and that is SO much of the feel... you lose that and you lose that connected feeling those racers are so good at. You lose that feel and you don't have the confidence to like pop off a rock or root and connect perfect on the down side of the feature you were looking to make into the gap, or you get bounced off line, etc.www.dpsskis.com

Gwin has the dust in his veins from SoCal.....and now he has a place in Gateway and riding Big Sky (also super loose all the time) when he isn't at his TN place.

For sure, I agree new tracks are good. And whether or not I want to ride it shouldn’t matter.
Just now listening to Needle’s podcast with Sven. Sounds like there was a ton of rider input to clean up those platforms after the Catalan Cup, with zero changes. And it sounds like some juniors were injured on it. Finn almost died on it.
Transitions on and off man made structures shouldn’t be the sketchy parts, and awkward turns on metal should never be what separates times.

Yeah, those scaffolding bridges were super janky. It's bad enough to have them at all, but the fact that they apparently felt the need to put awkward turns in a couple of them is kind of baffling.
As I recall, the old track had a couple of those too, but they weren't nearly as bad.

This shit just simply should not happen. If it wasn't already sketchy enough......then he almost died from getting caught up in the pads and then body slammed to the ground.

Rad line off the wall. Those 2 brothers are definitely ones to watch. Glad he's ok

Regarding the Fantasy League:
My genuine apologies to Matt Walker and Amaury. Really need to set up a team with people I don't like.However many are in a shit ton.

Looks like Amaury was sandbagging on the Wynn TV interview when he said he was still hurting.
Wish I could put Goldstone on my team.
5 second or more between each of the top 6 women qualifiers. Fack.
Headed up in the morning to watch the finals. Bringing the dog.

They are all protected. They will all be in the finals tomorrow provided they aren't injured.
If you biff it in qualifying, the result is basically meaningless if you're protected (since you' ain't getting any quali points), so you might as well DNF. As a protected rider, all you have to do is break the beam in quali and you're in for the final

Walker busted his kneecap and broke his hand. He can blame me for picking him. Meier Smith has a swollen wrist. Hope its not broke Solid flex! Iron grip on the lsad and we're winding down. Im stuck in mediocre mode

Finally put together a decent team.
Great mens race.a positive attitude will not solve all of your problems, but it may annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Carnage in qualis. Bruni, vergier, and balanche all out with injuries. Lots of other DNF's too.
Glad they're back at MSA. That track is legit.
