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....

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.

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

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.
