<b>Neko running it East Coast hard core!</b> -Tim Lake
<b>Ben Reid has been going through the medium-sized wheels this weekend. He's hoping they this last set holds out for one more epic run.</b> -Sven Martin
<b>David, Dave or Davo McMillan. Now you know why is wheel (that we showed you yesterday) looks like it does. Triple digit number plate means nothing if the steeze is right.</b> -@maddog gets 27.5 beers
<b>When Keeping it Sharky Goes Wrong</b> -Ale Di Lullo
<b>Not everyone is a fan of Shark Week, Jack Moir showed us his real-life shark bite scar (for real). A least he is faster on a bike than he is in the water.</b> -Tim Bardsley-Smith
<b>One half of a talented racing family, Julien Absalon took the win in the Elite Men's XC today while his brother Remi gets ready to smash out an EWS round on the other side of Canada.</b> -Tim Bardsley-Smith
<b>Morganne Charre's bike gets the final loving touches from the mobile pits that survived last night's windstorm. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Brook MacDonald is tougher than leather. He's hoping his shoulder holds up for one more day so he can muscle through the run he is capable of putting together. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Andrew Neethling had quite the massive crash in qualifying and slipped into 76th position. He did not seem fazed today and was back on the gas. #HELLYEAHNEEDLES</b> -Sven Martin
<b>Matt Simmonds has been looking fast all year long now. A podium finish will surely come soon.</b> -Sven Martin

<b>These boys are pretty batty over Emily.</b> -Tim Bardsley-Smith
<b>Good style and riding always gets you in the Vital slideshow, no matter what the discipline. Fontana destroys this little, punchy climb.</b> -Tim Bardsley-Smith

<b>Tomorrow we will see a lot of this part of the track. Myriam Nicole sends the second-to-last feature. </b> -Sven Martin
<b>Conor Fearon should be sleeping while we type this, knowing the beeps of the start gate are just a few hours away. Stay tuned for race day action, right here on Vital MTB and make sure to give Sven, Tim, Tim and Boris at least 20 beers each when you see them!</b> -Tim Bardsley-Smith

Sunday will be an all out war between man, machine and mountain and on the front lines are the image-capturing super snipers of Sven Martin, Tim Bardsley-Smith, Tim Lake and Boris Beyer. Enjoy the best downhill mountain bike action on the web from the Mont Sainte Anne World Cup.
