Rasmussen’s Victory in Wengen

11 years after Bill Johnson shocked the world by winning the Lauberhorn (the first ever win for an American Downhiller on the World Cup) it happened again and this time is was the strong and powerful and quiet Kyle Rasmussen – running Bib #1! We have Kyle on the Podcast this week to talk about that race, the uniqueness of the Wengen DH and their favorite spots of this crazy, 2 minute 30 second Downhill that takes racers off a cliff, through a tunnel, over 95 mph and ends with two 90 degree turns on spent legs!

Doug, AJ, Darren and Kyle also talk about;

-      Kyle’s strengths as a Downhiller and how he became one of the best

-      How it is tough to stay on a roll on World Cup because of the schedule and travel

-      Their favorite, and not so favorite, parts of the longest DH on the circuit

-      Advice they would give American World Cup rookies

-      Advice for Feuz & Mayer who just retired

-      And a whole lot more!
