Huge props to Luke Meier-Smith. Second in u19’s. Dude can ride (so can his bro). Would have been National DH champ back in March also, save for a big injury.

Didn't his brother win the U15 Enduro Nats last year?

He just came 2nd in dual slalom at Crankworx, killing it!

Big things ahead for both those boys. Seem like genuinely good people too.

Yeah, had some promising segments in there.
Looking forward to seeing what both those boys get up to in the coming years.

pfft .... it’s a GT. He’d be winning if he had a decent bike

GT has been a low budget team in the last coming years, makes me wonder if he is covering up for them by saying he likes the alloy rims better.

Don't forget Greg Minnaar's run of flats and wheel failures on fancy carbon rims. From memory a lot of pro DH riders like the mavic 7something and that's a budget one.

I recall numerous teams shunning carbon wheels, because if the go, race over. Alloy can be beaten back in shape and keep running.
I don’t imagine Maes is short on other teams offering him a contact.

They can run cushcore or equivalents these days and rims like 3zero motos that are flexy as.

And if they bust one, it’s a 5 minute penalty to swap a wheel.

As above, unless they have some carbon wheel sponsorship deal, many seem to prefer the alloys in enduro, don’t they?

Because lifetime warranty on $1500 rims don’t help you finish a race

Lots are still running carbon, it might be personal preference and or affordability.

How do you straighten a rim in 5 seconds on the trail ?

You don’t. You limp down (Cush core will protect rim enough) then beat it straight in the pits between stages. You can do that...but swapping out stickered parts like wheels is a 5 minute time penalty.
