“Oh my god, that is so much worse than I expected,” Laurie Greenlnd exclaims as he wades deep into the West Virginia mud for his Snowshoe World Cup course preview. “It’s like peanut butter.”
Rain’s been falling hard in the dys leading up to this weekend’s combined World Cup downhill and cross country weekend. After walking the track on Wednesday, donwhill riders put tires to dirt … er, mud at Snowshoe on Thursday.
Follow the Syndicate rider as he wrestles with the new sections, and dramatically new feel of a very muddy Snowshoe World Cup track.

What’s Red Bull say about this wet and wild preview?
Everything about the Downhill MTB World Cup track in Snowshoe is tough, especially in the wet. It’s so tough that even the best in the game need to stop and take a break when trying to navigate the track for the very first time. UK MTB heavyweight Laurie Greenland has two UCI World Cup races worth of experiences in West Virginia, but he never tried this course in the wet. Hop on board as he takes us with him on his run 1 of the racing week in United States.
