A true legend for all the right reasons, she went fast, hit the gnarly lines and never lost her stoke for the ride. Well lived Harley! Sorry for your loss Smoke.

Do skin suits look to serious, too professional... like number plates! Should we get rid of those too. No, we should save them for racing, for professional competition, just like skin suits. Our sport suffers from a serious inability to grow up. Racers are more concerned with looking cool than winning. The top world cup pros get in fights with the locals on a regular basis. Videographers document their juvenile antics like a tabloid. We will never be invited to join the olympics, or see top riders paid what they deserve until we grow up.

This rule is rediculous. Every professional sport athlete should use the equipment and clothing that gives him or her the greatest advantage when it does not pose a hazard to themselves or others. The fashion point is stupid. Fashion in sport is determined by what the best riders use. Sponsorship is based on this fact. This was proven by the rediculous number of riders that switched to wearing pants over the past 2 years. Pants suck to ride in unless it is cold and wet, but Sam Hill made them cool. DH riders seem to suffer from a lack of self esteem. If the best riders always wore skinsuits to race in, it would soon become cool, so cool infact, that you would no doubt see kids wearing them at whistler and everywhere else (i don't reccomend this). I think skinsuits make the sport look more professional. It looks like the rider has prepared for competition. DH ski racers wear skinsuits when they race and whatever is fashionable when they're casually skiing.
