Sam had a couple of years in wilderness before re-inventing himself. I reckon Danny is as good as he ever was...it’s just that others have stepped up.Where'd he go though? Sam keeps on keeping on!

Not so sure. Sam had a few injury issues. Wasn't it 2015 that he was a bee's dick from World Champs but for a crash?Sam had a couple of years in wilderness before re-inventing himself. I reckon Danny is as good as he ever was...it’s just that others have stepped up.
was that Hafjell 2014 when Sam had a superman/dead sailor stack in a big rock garden?Not so sure. Sam had a few injury issues. Wasn't it 2015 that he was a bee's dick from World Champs but for a crash?
True. Also, just to clarify, didn’t mean Danny is as good as Sam ever was, just as good as he himself has been.Not so sure. Sam had a few injury issues. Wasn't it 2015 that he was a bee's dick from World Champs but for a crash?
Yes, I think you might be right there. Vids show him well ahead at that point.was that Hafjell 2014 when Sam had a superman/dead sailor stack in a big rock garden?
It looked fkn nasty.
So at 24, Kye doesn't qualify?Boo! No protection for #1 ranked rider in juniors after a stack. That’s shite!
Ballarat boy Darcy Coutts, fresh out of juniors, smashed it last night though. Go Coutssss!
Nope. Not according to his insta. Balls. Got a feeling it’s only top 15.So at 24, Kye doesn't qualify?
That's ordinary.View attachment 345992

Very. Would have thought top 5 protected at least.That's ordinary.
I'm not a fan of the protected rider thing for juniors or elites, I get it that everyone wants to see their favourite rider in the race but with crashing and mechanicals being such a big part of racing shouldn't consistency over the weekend be rewarded, it would definitely make you think about your race strategies.Very.

Was waaay back after first split. Can only assume a bit of an incident.What happened with Troy, uncharacteristically down on the list, crash, mechanical, weather or just conservative?
Agree to disagree. What about the times some get a dry run and then it buckets down?I'm not a fan of the protected rider thing for juniors or elites, I get it that everyone wants to see their favourite rider in the race but with crashing and mechanicals being such a big part of racing shouldn't consistency over the weekend be rewarded, it would definitely make you think about your race strategies.
I kind of agree. I don't like the fact you can simply roll out of the gate, DNF, and get a spot because of your ranking. I do, however, think some sort of protection is needed when weather plays an influencing role in quali.I'm not a fan of the protected rider thing for juniors or elites, I get it that everyone wants to see their favourite rider in the race but with crashing and mechanicals being such a big part of racing shouldn't consistency over the weekend be rewarded, it would definitely make you think about your race strategies.
True everyone should get a fair crack at the same course, maybe the protected riders should get to pick their start time for qualifications bringing a little more strategy into play.Agree to disagree. What about the times some get a dry run and then it buckets down?
On race day, all bets are off, but those who are at the very pointy end should get a race run, I reckon.
