Ski cross anyone?

[Swede]

Can't say that I know anything about it, but Word Champs in Spain right now and Sandra Näslund, SWE took the women's gold. Looks like lots of fun allthough Sierra Nevada, ESP looks a little brown. Men's small final coming up with Canada, Austria and Italy on the line.

Yeah, it's a lot of action... Can imagine that it's hysterically fun to go head to head with your buddies in a course. But then again being 46 I would probably hurt myself and someone else ...

I mentioned this last month, it doesn't get much attention in the US but it looks awesome, like the perfect alternative to GS racing. Some of the jumps look intimidating and I suspect the guy who fell and died a few years ago didn't help the sport.

Looks like it takes a commitment and $$$ to maintain a good course but gee, compared to watching regular ski racing on TV this has to have a broader audience appeal.

Of course I would love to see mass start any-track Chinese downhills, first to the finish wins. That would truly be awesome! Doesn't Daron Rahlves run a Banzai race like this from time to time?

USSA and FIS sanctioned Chinese Downhill! I almost made it to go see the USSA regional championships last weekend (Saturday). Sunday turned out to be a better day for me to go skiing so I missed it.

Talking about ski cross and Swedes.. any new news about Anna Holmlund? Last thing I heard was she was still in coma, but that was quite a while ago already.

Nothing new that I have heard of (don't have any inside, only what's on the news here). Sad story ... she's a bundle of energy and our best ski crosser.
