I don't care what anyone says, I still think Hill is a bad ass! I'm stoked for this season, there is so much talent, really any of the top ten riders could win at least one race.

Ha! Love that the Canadians are red necks too.

@Spaced, Tibet? Just saying. Having been in the Army, and with plenty of friends still there, not to mention family, many in hush-hush type of jobs, I have a huge respect for anyone in the military. The vast majority of the troops on the ground don't care why they are there, it really doesn't matter; what does though is the guy to your left and the guy to your right. I fully believe that war is old guys scheming and young men dying. I don't agree with any of the conflicts that we are currently in. But hey Poland where would you be without the Cold War? Yeah, that's what I thought. Still behind the Iron Curtain. We could argue about whether or not the USSR would have fallen with or with out the Cold War but one thing remains the same, there are quite a lot of people that can go ahead and thank the US for liberating their asses. At the cost of our own citizens people are liberated every day. Personally I think it's too high a price to pay. Go ask the women of Afghanistan how they feel being able to go to school , the Kurds how it feels not be ethnically cleansed. Ask the French and British how it feels not to speak German. (We owed France for their help in our own revolution and in the war of 1812. Oh and Canada didn't beat us, that would be the UK since Canada only recently because sovereign.) We do a lot of damage to the world but we do a lot of good too. Only the dead have seen the end of war-Plato.

Gwin isn't that fun to watch either. He is so effing fast and that's it. Not a ton of style. No one can deny that he is a winning machine, and that his focus is probably beyond anyone else, which makes him kinda dull in interviews too. On a positive side with an American on top hopefully it means more sponsor dollars and better coverage. That might back fire though if he just isn't entertaining and if the gaps are too large that it no longer seems like competition, I don't think that will happen because there is a ton of talent out there this year, just saying.

Highway 6 (191) between Price and I70 just east of the road there is so much to ride it's ridiculous. Plus half of it's within 5 miles of the highway. There are dirt roads everywhere. Also off of I70 and highway 10 is awesome. As for yotes, looks like the state is setting aside $$$$ to get rid of 20,000 of them. As for the coons on the fence, kill them all. They're non indigenous and wreck havoc on the water fowl and other upland game. Most of our water fowl just stop in the state to lay eggs and raise chicks. Coons are bad news in UT.

Just so you know, they would like to close down all of Moab. Not sure if you have heard about that place or not but it rocks (sarcasm, if you haven't heard of it you just started riding yesterday.). 70% of our state is protected land from development. Our state is half the size of Spain. To reiterate the point; wilderness area means no biking. Horses and hikers only. No one in Utah wants the bill to pass, because it hurts the state, but then again when the Grand Escalante Stair Case area was taken from no one in the state wanted that either. I write and contact all of my elected officials and try and post as often as I can against it. Save Utah Mountain Biking. Go ride the green River area. It's magical.

Wait.... So you got all of those mad skills by riding your biking and not logging? I just wish we had trees to use for trails, oh well Utah dirt rocks.

UTAH WILDERNESS WANTS TO CLOSE THIS AREA TO BIKE USE!!!!!! Sorry for yelling but everyone should know. Utah Wilderness wants to close the entire area of the San Rafael Swell and much of the surrounding area. They have federal backing. Please write to let them know you don't support what they are doing. If what they wants gets passed only foot traffic and horses will be allowed in the area. Cars will have to stay on marked roads and bikes will be entirely banned, along with atvs and motorcycles. Bug these guys as much as possible!!!!!! http://www.utahwilderness.org/

Stoked! Thanks.
