Added a comment about press release $2,061,000 IS UP FOR GRABS IN 2019 - INTENSE PODIUM PAYBACK PROGRAM 2/27/2019 6:38 PM

I don’t understand how a reputable MTB brand in this day in age has to resort to the promotional equivalent of a ponzi scheme to influence people to buy their bikes.......they won’t even have to pay out $2000 of the 2 million “up for grabs” at the end of the year. WTF

Ok, let’s break this down logically:

$450 (for all 1st-5th places) x 10 race classes (men’s & womens) x 40 races = $180,000

(Still have $1.9 million missing....)

Ok, now for theory’s sake..... Let’s assume Intense pays out the prize money exponential ² for a 1st place run- **if, and only if,** the rider wins the race on a rim after getting a flat tire.....mid course

Then $ 150 ² x 40 races = $900,000

And that’s assuming everybody is riding an Intense

Real changes need to have a coordinated effort from the top most officials. Problem is- they don’t see anything as a problem. Their perspective is: we just coordinating an event for athletes to display their talent ......and their current or future sponsors can splash the cash. They figure: You don't like the prize money.......? Then stay home and make a YouTube video of your bike race (or whatever you do).
It’s kinda like the Health Care industry - everybody knows it’s whole corrupt but what else can you do as a consumer? Corruption and greed is the standard and the people that *could* change it don’t see any problems with the current system.

Spomer- please clarify something for me about the judging. I always assumed the judges all input there own personal scoring # into the computer to create an *average of all 5 judges scores....with all having their own independent assessment of the run. But when Kyle was talking about Brendawg’s scoring - he said something to the affect: We all knew he should be in 10th place, and the actual number didn’t really matter .......almost as if the judges all have a group discussion about what the score should be before scoring it - “independently” . Every video shot of the judges I have ever seen in Slopestyle contest or Rampage - the judges seem to not be talking at all but immersed in deep thought, or watching replays. Are they having a pow-wow about scoring first????

I wouldn’t mind if my bike could, for example - calculate the probability of success or failure when i’m at the top of some new bike park’s freeride trail,etc. Like if you hiked to the top of Brendawg’s or Zink’s line at Rampage..... and the bike calculates: ... more »

LOVE this time of year that I remember I have a whole week of Shreddy Awards. HATE that my bike didn't even get a mention... Oh yeah, I haven't posted any of them. Do you guys still accept bike checks with 26 inch wheels?
