Wallace enters on the smoking wheels of a breakout season that included capturing 6th place at the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup and a massive 2nd place finish at Crankworx. Look for him to unleash that arsenal of potential across the JR World Cup calendar this year. Frenchman Damien Oton, the EWS overall 2nd place finisher, returns hungry after a strong start to last season veered off-course due to a string of minor injuries.
Sesame Seed. Brage Vestavik is holding the Cat -- nobody poses for pictures with a nice Cat anymore. That is guaranteed-podium presence. I predict a Trail Cat issue of one of the most popular Bike Mags in a month. We've all heard that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare.
Now, thanks to the Internet, we know this is not true. I too want to know more about the cat. Paw PSI? Tail spring weight? Claw durometer? Hair length? Sag percentage? Leg Yaw? These are the real things that matter, I don't care what tires the riders are on.
Could you imagine if Gwin had some huge drivetrain failure this year? Like, how bad would the press be if something vital to pedaling failed on the world stage? People would surely run full SRAM spec to protect themselves against something like that.
Marshall Willanholly. Smith hailed from Vancouver Island, where he sharpened his mountain biking skills on the rainforest trails of Mt. A force on the Canadian downhill racing scene for years, he became an international household name in after pocketing World Cup wins at Leogang, Hafjell, and Mont-Sainte-Anne, Que. A driven athlete and fierce competitor, Smith was humble and grounded off the track. He was a notable influence on all young and aspiring Canadian gravity racers and others around the world.
As training partners, we pushed each other to the limit. He was 26 years old. I am honoured to consider him my friend for so long.

Smith is revered by fellow competitors and loved by friends, family and fans, who had been following his explosive start to the season. A driven athlete and fierce competitor, Smith was humble and grounded off the track.
He was a notable influence on all young and aspiring Canadian gravity racers and others around the world. As training partners, we pushed each other to the limit. At home, in his close-knit Vancouver Island community, Smith was known as a consummate outdoorsman. This is where he spent time fishing, camping, and sinking birdie putts on the golf course. His spirit was infectious and inspirational.
He passed away peacefully surrounded by his close family and those he positively affected. MrBaker87 Feb 11, at Strange question, but what is the total number of bikes in recent years that have been piloted to win the World Cup that have used a suspension design by Dave Weagle? I'm still fairly new to the whole DH WC scene, so this is an honest question.
In terms of world cup championships, it looks like 3 champs, and 2 bikes: Sam Hill on the Sunday in 07 and 09, and Steve Smith on the Wilson. Oh yeah, that doesn't take into account the female world cup championshps by Sabrina Jonnier in 03, 05, 07, 09, 10, of which I don't know when she started racing on the DW-link Sunday released in 05? Gee has been on Comencal and GT. There is a little bit of everything that makes a winning combination. Take your pick there are mostly great bikes now, a few quirky ones but sometimes they work for certain people.
Jammins Feb 11, at Love the fact that they call the champ Downhill Extreme 2 is a sponsor - WOW! Mustaches will rule the world cups! I think its Downhill 'Supreme' 2 the game. Yes, we're super stoked.
