Dak had to travel back from Euroland, so Loudenvielle podcast got recorded yesterday. If you don't have time to listen, one of the main reasons Dak was off the pace was that he didn't put mud tires on for his race run. Live and learn...
Great episode per usual. I really, really enjoyed the segment where Dak was talking about "decision fatigue." While he would clearly love to have someone to make some of the decisions for him, I can't help but wonder how hard that would be for a rider. There are some wild levels of trust that have developed in the teams who have line spotters, mechanics, etc.. making the decisions for the riders around kit and setup.
I'm sure Dak would have loved for someone to have said, "I'm putting Wet Screams on your bike. That's what you're running." But I can also see Dak getting it in his head that "This person made this choice. I don't think I agree with it." and then that doubt destroying rider onfidence and thus rider performance.

The googles weight thing reminded me of the few times I've tried to run my GoPro under my visor. Just yanks the helmet & everything down on your nose. Think I saw Myriam do a race run for RedBull a few years back with hers mounted under visor & couldn't believe she'd run one there for a World Cup race run.
Vital RAW from DH Rockies Purgatory. One of the great #USDH tracks!
Any list of registered riders out there for the US Open @ Killington?? Mont St. Anne is the following week so not sure if any Euro riders are coming over early??
US Open Pre-race podcast and schedule from the Monster Pro DH crew - @Batts i'm sure they'll be sending out updates with riders lists. usopen.bike and their instagram usually have that info up quickly.

I can confirm that the Elite Men's field has a very robust list of top WC pros alongside all of the Domestic Pros from the US. The Women's field is by far and away stronger than any North American race I've ever seen outside of the World Cup rounds (Mont St Anne, Windham, Snowshoe). Way more stacked women's field than Crankworx Whistler. This replay show is going to be a must watch!

Might need to show as many ladies as men for this one then

If I were a WC top 30 rider, knowing that Lolo has already wrapped up the overall, I’d be itching to get a slice of that sweet, sweet USOpen prize purse heading into the most questionable off season in memory. It will be very interesting to see how many euros/frenchies are on the start list.

What are the logistics of flying into the United States then immediately driving across the border to Canadadadaaaa? Is it as straight forward as just flying into Canada from a foreign country?
As for WC racers, saw on IG where Luke MS is doing the Open.

Right? He's won what, 10 elite World Cups and I don't know how many podiums, Jr, and Elite Worlds, Euro Champs...
One of the things I miss most about Dialed are the bits w/ Loris, really enjoyed hearing/seeing him talk about his racing and trainig and, to your point, it's not something he seems inclined to do on his own
Lake Placid XC course preview, seems they've tried to make it "fun" to ride as well as physically taxing. We'll see how it pans out when they put tires in the dirt...

Love when a 3 min "track preview" video is a few still shots of the course and some dude talking at the lens for 1.5 elapsed minutes time.
Maaaaan, anyone else tired of mud races this year?
As a viewer from the comfort of my work from home office which is also my living room? Not really haha All the weather at WC's this year has made for some insane displays of bike handling skills, contrasted by the unlucky few who have got the short end of the stick with changing conditions. I kinda like the drama though.
I think this weekend we are on track for consistent conditions as we build towards race day. Unless I just jinxed everyone....
NW Cup finals went off! some of the near misses are terrifying.

I am sure if (add top 20 WC racer name here) wants to race the Open Clay will find room and not use a wait list.

He raced against them last year at the US open
Loris is quite a quiet bamf
The field last year wasn’t this stacked. It’s raining hard now at Killington but then 3 days of sun. The track should really shape up!

That looks fun. Maybe even with blood in your lungs and your heart in your throat fun...

Muddy.
should be time stamped past the 'vlogging' and straight to track walk... basically halfway through
