US OPEN PRACTICE DAY SESSION

[@JonathanFC229]

Those whoops sections… preload and pray 😂

[@middleagedmediocremountain4767]

They seem very "gimmicky" and kind of dumb

[@derronjames7194]

yeah need to like float over them.

[@seansurprenant9361]

There so fun!

[@martinarroyo2909]

Cheers from Chile! Always watching BK sports !

[@mikegallagher2732]

THANKS BK !!!! You NEED to check out some of the OG TECH trails up on the Peak !!!! Those are MY go to trails !!!

[@JJ_MTB_15]

Ya hope he can get some laps in off K1

[@josephmascolino]

It’s so cool seeing these guys ride a trail you’ve ridden before. I wish I could be watching today, it’s only an hour drive from me😢

[@jfs6545]

Welcome to the United States again, Pivot team! It is a pleasure to have you! Good luck on race day!

[@TREVONBACH]

OMG I met Richard Osman tonight. Amazing dude. GO TEAM PIVOT!

[@seansurprenant9361]

Welcome to vermont dude! Track is flat but definitely tough

[@VanWillis]

Damn man, I sprained my neck on those woops. Good luck this weekend!

[@dirtylaps]

Phoenix proto not so proto 🤤

[@dangoodring3653]

🤤🤤🤤 yea

[@Coolcmsc]

Just love it when the manager can order up a freshy paint job on a helmet for the race…. for himself🎉

[@KoryKing]

Track looks gnar hope you are enjoying killington! Best mtb park in the north east

[@jokermtb]

A bit of 1983/84 era Freddie Spencer Rothmans MotoGP Honda bike livery......always a good combo.

[@JJ_MTB_15]

So crazy to see BK riding my local mountain, thanks for coming

[@josephmascolino]

Yeah I love watching the pros at killington and comparing lines😂

[@alchensel]

The tree shadows 😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@Fantic156]

"Well they're NOT fun"! Ball breakers mate, stand tall .. 😜

[@Big.Drip.ink.]

No more lugs! 🤯 carbon frames! Yeah Baby!

[@kevankakes]

The track looks painful

[@JB50713]

Lol what's with the speed bumps section!?

[@jay1871]

As a moto guy who started MTB, I would love to see more MX influence. Different obstacles and moto sections seem sick. What do the core MTB only guys think?

[@LouisCollison-rj5ks]

Idk about the whoops but everything else seems sick

[@jay1871]

@@LouisCollison-rj5ks yeah. Whoops and rollers are super dependent on having rear wheel drive so I could see how that would be odd. I don’t think a downhill roller section should be a staple obstacle or anything. I kinda like the idea of some shallow ruts!

[@ashleytombs]

Wow just trying to spot lines watching the video is hard enough can’t imagine how hard it is actually riding the course at WC Speed

[@jimmyblue3058]

i would like to know how our bike feels riding ........

[@AquaticBaboon]

Will Barney make it over the border??

[@jokermtb]

He can take the Swayzee Express.............

[@bobyplayzyt]

Yoo whats your helmet?

[@computerbob06]

Looking like Dan Atherton needs to build some tight spaced whoops onto a track somewhere for practice laps!?

[@NextLevelRiding]

more walker follow cams FTW!

[@bermroller]

next practice everyone should agree to take the same line through the whoops and lock up the rear brake to cut a rut through them. I mean that would be more "moto bro" right?

[@samodonnell1620]

New bike ? 👌

[@Coolcmsc]

Line choice (hard as remembering seems to be) is critical here as I recon the top 10 are going to be split by a very narrow margin… 🎉

[@2headedgeek]

To be more precise, Williams Rothmans. 😊

[@johnbedford4511]

Tape over poles any day

[@mamantra]

Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage! Red Bull Rampage!

[@Ganiscol]

Whats the story behind riding the retail Phoenix instead of the prototypes? They also got hung up on the border with Barney?

[@dangoodring3653]

bro take one more look at those bikes 🙃😉

[@keepingourpubliclandsopen1671]

why didnt jenna and teagan ride?

[@Onceayoungidiot]

Track by Sweet Baby Inc. 🙄😂😂

[@Edisimo]

As an american I sorta disapointed this is the representation for dh in the US, the track looks hard but not very interesting compared to Europe

[@robertkeith9620]

Rothmans = Wayne Gardner 🤘

[@greymears6411]

Is anyone clearing them whoops?

[@TheFullKanani]

There’s only 9 whoops so it’s safe.

[@paulfowler308]

tech boring but dangerous at speed. looks like a track that's going to break some bones

[@ollie2052000]

Looks like a really uninspiring track.

[@josephmascolino]

It’s an open class race so they can’t have anything too insane

[@SubversionGarage]

That track is an embarrassment 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@boarderhouse]

who puts whoops in a WC downhill race? wtf??

[@thicknurman1949]

its not a WC race, and whoops are starting to be a dh thing - theyre fun

[@onsight2822]

To sort out the men from the boys.

[@Ganiscol]

Been a thing on some WC tracks for years. The trick is to place them in the right spot and build them right. It appears they did not get any of that right here...

[@onsight2822]

The trick is to man up and send it gas to flat style 😉

[@jamisonr]

They sort of look positioned to make riders scrub speed before the next section. Still looks miserable though.

[@Twentykixx]

Track is rubbish… 😖 Very disappointing from the US.

[@JJ_MTB_15]

It’s ment for all age groups to ride, theres 650 riders

[@onsight2822]

you obviously don't ride very fast / prefer slow tech ( ssfe stuf ) each to their own i guess ✌

[@Twentykixx]

Why bring the best in the world to a 1 fits all event. The track is redundant. Some of the sections look identical. Obviously some folks don’t have a clue on what is going on. On a professional DH track, going slow is treacherous in most cases. They should’ve managed this event better with a track suitable for the best in the world. The UCI needs to monitor events better, this is silly. 🫤 mediocre…

[@ktvlm3987]

@@Twentykixxyou clearly don’t understand the goal of this event. And clearly you aren’t even there, so sit back and judge from your iPad, no one cares what you think.

[@JJ_MTB_15]

@@Twentykixx the best in the world decide on their own if they want to attend the event, it’s not put on by uci
