Vital RAW - Snowshoe World Cup DH 1 7

Vital RAW

The racers at the 2023 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Downhill in Snowshoe, West Virginia, were pushing their limits today in training. Weather started out foggy, but the track remained generally slick and tricky the entire day. Rocks and roots stayed greasy, but speeds were high.

@ 0:29. It's not a toboggan unless you turn the bars and dump the front end. Nice clean seat tap though.

The high speed section at the end is amazing!  And that inside rut at 13:45 minute marker is axel deep. So sketchy.  Almost swallowed Laurie's rear wheel.

Great coverage Vital!

Was just watching this on YouTube and came.to comment, that's some Jank! The M1, the suitcase demo and the cCommencal's look to be handing it a bit better in the rocks from what I could tell.
