5/13/2026 4:55pm Anyone with real access to capital want to make a run at buying all the inventory / assets out of receivership and rebooting Knolly? I'm semi serious.

3/23/2026 1:41pm Grew up in Colorado, started skiing when I was five in the sixties, mountain biking in the early 80's. Was on board with lift served mtb in the late 80's when my home mountain, Winter Park, started up loading bikes to ride xc trails. Always enjoyed off piste, back/slack country skiing long before it became a thing. Didn't ski much...

3/23/2026 12:22pm One thing with Whistler, and I'm assuming others, is the pass and ticket price in summer compared to winter. And then there is the Epic/Ikon factor. Plus the passes sold for hiking and sight seeing. Throw in the cost of trail maintenance summer versus winter. If bike park passes and accommodations become equal in cost to ski season it could...

3/23/2026 11:49am Just got this from Knolly: A Message from Noel Buckley I'm going to keep this simple because you deserve that. The last few years have been the hardest this industry has ever seen, and Knolly has not been immune. But we have been fighting through it: restructuring costs, tightening operations, and doing the difficult work of right-sizing the business to match a new reality. We were making progress. That progress was cut short. Our bank, RBC, has made the decision to call in our account. This comes at a time when RBC is posting record annual profits, $20.4 billion last...

2/27/2026 1:57pm Worldwide cyclery looks to. have a full size run. I haven't checked any other retailers but it looks like it may be a new colorway as well. I have noticed they aren't on the Adidas site. I've noticed them disappear before and panicked but they've always returned.

12/15/2025 12:57pm Pretty spot on. From what I could tell it was the same team as last year plus Osin. All on matching blue and orange sessions. I don’t think it’s an issue posting this since they set up at the shuttle spot with two factory trek vans, at least 20 people deep, with music blasting all morning, at a well known spot on a busy weekend. They had quite the setup, only thing they seem to have forgotten to bring was some shovels 😉

11/24/2025 3:37pm @TEAMROBOT Yes, that’s exactly what Chronocult does. It is a simple web-based timing tool. You can have a friend at the start and another at the finish - each on their phone - timing the same racer. The system syncs in real time: when one starts a racer, the other can stop them, and it all updates live to the same leaderboard. - No app required - Works with QR code or link to invite another timer - Add/remove racers on the fly - Works with or without cell service (it should reconcile the data when the phones are back...

11/3/2025 2:24pm Pretty weird how this pickle ball news showed up here on Vital the same time as this popped up in the local news. https://mauinow.com/2025/10/30/aloha-pickleball-holds-groundbreaking-fo… Of course the story isn't complete without reading the Facebook comments that accompany this news. Didn't one of the indoor bike parks get replaced with pickle ball courts?

10/27/2025 4:16pm Jeff, I have been doing the same thing. Here is finally what I decided to go with: The great thing about this forum is great ideas and opinions are abound. It is clear everyone here wants the best for the sport and for the athletes. There is a line that we all fear being crossed and more are seeing it as a real possibility as the event is reaching some scary levels. It has always been a gnarly event but it is starting to hit differently. We seem to all agree on a few things. Riders enjoy taking risks, every...

10/27/2025 4:16pm I often think about how does Todd manage the emotions that come with this. I don't think many people realize this is his baby and as he said himself "I'm the first one there when someone goes down".

10/16/2025 4:52pm That was me and I was struggling to remember the details from back then so I went digging. Thought it was earlier in the 90's but it looks like JrT came out in '98 and was 130 travel. 170 didn't come out until '02. I think I ran the 130 on a Santa Cruz Heckler and then on a Giant...

10/16/2025 4:32pm So us weirdos that were riding 170mm Jr and Mr T's on our rigs in the late 90s/early aughts were trailblazers then?
