they're DH usable but obviously not the best choice. i just thought they went with the color scheme well

is it fair to assume youre running both days regardless of weather?

residents of Quebec and BC are lucky, i believe you have more Elevation in GBR than us in Ontario

Whistler seems to be a logical choice for everyone that isnt involved with the UCI, the only problem with the west coast in general is the weather, its spuratic and very unpredictable. Another thing to consider is the fact that the mountain ranges in North America are very spaced out, unlike Europe. Even if there was another stop the cost of travel would be huge because youre travelling from Quebec to BC, where as you can drive 14 hours from fort william to leogang. In my opinion those could be two huge deciding factors to why the UCI doesnt have more stops here. Also, if you look at the top riders on the circuit, excluding gwin and smith, most of them are european, I imagine this could be another reason theres more stops in Europe as its UCI's way of showing off their homegrown talent, or something along those lines. We, North America, have freeriding and Europe seems to have the downhill on the professional level. On another note, I'm quite curious to see this track in Norway, I feel it could be pretty sick

hopin so! horseshoe is seriously lacking in the understanding/managing side of things...i wish they would open there little eyes and look at the bigger picture and possibilities that are smacking them in the face....i don't know if I can put more time in there if they don't at least give some promotion....they want bike business but aren't willing to let people know they exist.... i am sad to say that i doubt much will hppen this year, but please don't quote me on that....this year i'm going to focus on racing the o-cup mainly....but if horseshoe wants to do some more trails....well.....im not afraid of shovelin' a little top soil ; )
