Maaaaan, anyone else tired of mud races this year?
It won’t be a mud race. Maybe for practice today, but only the new man made stuff. The rest of the course is so worn in, I doubt it will be affected. That was the first significant rain up here in a long time. Been a dust bowl for a while now. Plus sun today, tomorrow and Sunday. Course should be perfect by Sunday, if not tomorrow.

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.

As for WC racers, saw on IG where Luke MS is doing the Open.

Could we see the first Asa battle against the elites?
Angel and Neko said on WynTV that Asa is not racing the US Open or MSA next weekend as he recovers from the crash in Loudenvielle. Bummer.
Is there somewhere showing the rider list for the US Open given it's this weekend? I tried to google it but couldn't find anything.
Would really like to see the start list for qualifying tomorrow. I can't get there Sunday so I was going to check it out on Saturday and don't want to miss the top dogs in qualifying.
Speaking of... Are they doing some kinda AirDH one off event or just classing Kaos differently within the same race?
Also, JACKSON? Bummed he was not healthy enough for worlds. But wondering if he's testing the waters to sus out an MSA return to defend his 'title'. What a cool event this is. Wish I was there.

we still never got to see a flip at a uci race. kaos said if he qualied in snowshoe (2019?) he'd flip the first jump instead of the skip everyone was doin
the tomfoolery he pulls on the old rampage course when it was more trick jumps and less youtube click bait shit was epic. ya im missin kaos n kade at the WCs

Issac attempted a back flip at the Snowshoe World Cup double header a couple years ago.

Not in finals right? The whole issue is the guys able to flip often aren't the guys making qualies. Well. Except for Rennie but I don't think he committed to throwing away a finals race with a flip necessarily. Need Spomer lore on this lol

i have a pic of rennie flipping in the dual race in durango in 2003 (will try to dig it up). not sure if it was in his race run, but i think it was. he wasn't going to win, so he flipped a spine-ish jump on track.
@mickey - there's one clip of slalom in the vital raw - a guy on a cargo bike. looked sparsely attended : (
Very interesting seeding. Is Shreddie Reynolds in the actual race class or did they mix freeracer seeding all together? Wanted some kaos v shreddie racing

XC action from Lake Placid training...looks like more slip n'slide is on the menu :-)

Course preview for this weekend with Needles and Luca. Wild how quickly the track has dried out.
I love how wide they've taped it, line choice city!
The 2024 Fox US Open start list is finally here, and the Open categories are more stacked than ever!
Shout out to the US open organizers for putting the last names in alphabetical order so I can actually find athletes I am looking for.
East Coast cat 1 old guys have to comPEAT with a former world champ!! HAHAHA
Looks like Jackson may be back 😳
for a sec I thought Kaos was in that group as well.

Different class in the same race
Anyone know what time qualifying for pro starts, it says 1pm but not sure if pro's are going first???
Thanks for anyone that has the answer!
They’re doing a freerider class for the DH race.

any coverage, at all, of the DS?
The recent usdh trend of running slalolm on Friday mid day and doing a whipoff on Saturday evening when DS finals SHOULD be happening is so laaaaame.
