    Holy Carp - Dick Rude is not going to race DH after winning the DH Jr. World Championship last season AND no Yeti presence at all on the WC DH tour. Cam Cole was shipped to Commencal, Eliot Jackson to somewhere (Intense?).

    Wow - just - wow :-k

    Man Child's gonna kill it on the EWC, but I was really looking forward to his first year as a Sr on the DH WC circuit.

    Why is he called Man Child? He's been a beast since he was 15. Here he is recently, at 18. I've seen NFL linebackers with smaller arms.

    n old story recollects how two men were chopping pieces of wood. The first man laboured hard and steadily all day long. The second man also worked hard but every so often would stop and take a break. While on his breaks he would call out to the first man and say “Come and have a rest, I want to show you something that will help you.” But the first man would say “Not now I’m busy. I don’t want to lose any time.” By the end of the day the second man had chopped far more wood than the first man. This was a surprise to the first man because he was sure he had worked harder than the second man. So he asked “How did you do it? I mean how did you cut more wood than me?” And the second man replied “Well every time I stopped to take a break, I sharpened my axe!”

    So, maybe.....

    Nice parable, well told. So are you implying that Richie is taking a break from DH to "sharpen his axe" or are you being literal and saying that it appears by the picture that Richie should sit down and take a break? (j/k)

    Being 19, I wouldn't think that Richie is burnt out from the "grind" of the World Cup circuit like perhaps some oft-injured, never-quite-on-the-podium veterans are.

    Stoked to see Elliot on pivot. As for Enduro, I smell a redesign of the 303 coming up. The sb66 is a killin bike too so more power too him in the EWC
