| 0:00.0 | Snow shoe has delivered once again. |
| 0:05.9 | So this is your Maxis Tires Post-Rays Show from Snowshoe West Virginia with Nico Malali and Ollie Morris. |
| 0:11.9 | Maxis is synonymous with racing and is the name that comes to mind when you think of performance. |
| 0:16.5 | It's no surprise then that they've won more than any other tire brand in the history of World Cup racing. |
| 0:21.4 | No matter where or how you ride, Maxis has the tyres for you with a wide range of tread patterns, casing and compound options. On my Enjuro bike, I'm running the DHR 2 Max Terra double down on the rear, and I've paired that with the Asagai Max grip up front and their slightly lighter XO plus casing. On the downhill bike, I've gone with a DHR2 front and rear, both in the downhill casing and with their super grippy max grip compound. Both those setups work amazingly for me, but check out the range and see what's likely to be best for you. You can check out the entire range of Maxis tires over at maxis.com and find the tires at your local Maxis dealer. You can also |

| 1:21.2 | All right, welcome back, guys. It was a pretty insane and yet again unscriptable race in snowshoe this weekend. |
| 1:30.5 | There's plenty to talk about. |
| 1:32.3 | But first off, Nika, you were back at the races after taking the sensible decision |
| 1:37.0 | to not come to Europe for that summer block of racing after World Champs and like spend |
| 1:42.0 | some time getting on top of the recovery from your |
| 1:44.8 | injury earlier in the season. How did it feel? How would you assess that kind of status of |
| 1:51.8 | recovery and how ready for racing are you feeling now? Well, it's tough as a racer because |
| 1:57.9 | the adrenaline takes over and you always feel better and you believe that you can do your best, even when it might not be the case. |
| 2:07.5 | But I felt really good coming into the race. |
| 2:11.0 | I thought like the four weeks after Fort William were really tough. |
