" In all fairness I think speed+style became a bit stale" I don't think I personally ever really got it. I love racing, I'm glued to the DH and XC. I'll even watch the weird niche things like urban eliminator. And I'll watch the slope/freeride competitions in a state of confused awe at how intricate the tricks are. But speed...

€40,000 for 10 riders at 10 events is €400 per rider per event to cover entry fees, paddock space (including power and water), plus whatever comes in the media package. Sounds reasonable to me, and maybe a good incentive to have sign 10 riders. Consider what entry fees are for your local race, and then consider how much bigger a production a world cup is. This is a way for the team sponsors to indirectly pay for putting on the race. And nobody participates in any professional sport for free. Either the individual or their team pays into the league...

Why have criteria #2-4 (there's 6 btw)? We've covered this. So smaller teams that don't have all the points but may have signed an interesting/fast/legacy rider or two etc.. have a shot. Or for example criteria 3 - "UCI Team composition (multi-category, multi-gender) ". So a team with slightly less points but that has signed women and juniors has a shot against the quite common male dominated teams. Or when making the selection between two similar teams when one has a rider who has been done for a doping violation in the past (criteria 6)? So ya, seems there's loads...

Wow. You'd swear they were deleting the clock from DH racing. The wildcard stuff will select around 10% of the riders who'll race world cups. Drama for nothing

I haven't ridden BC outside of a day trip to Whistler over ten years ago when I was a complete beginner. But looking at the videos from Remy and other YouTubers there seems to be endless "pro" level trails that I would probably stay away from despite considering myself a very good rider. That said, I'm blown away with some of the stuff I see on YouTube in the USA and particularly the UK, "easy" bike park flow trails now all of a sudden have massive jumps and drops. I feel like this is setting up a trap when beginners...

have you tried anything halfway between the current two models? is there an amount of drop that feels pretty much like a regular pedal but has enough drop that it can be singlesided and self-righting?

Shouldn’t we line up the axles to make this comparison?

" A World Series Team will be allowed to sell Official World Series Team Merchandise & host hospitality with guests/sponsors from their paddock space" Lol. Is that an exclusive statement or inclusive? As in they can sell WC Team merch or can only sell WC Team merch. Why do I feel like every time I read these updates they are speaking directly towards Mr Kerr and his team?

Forestal just dropped their first non-ebikes, I think they're looking pretty clean.

This is basically a different category though. Turd product for real mountain bikers but this is for the retired $10k+ e-bike trekkers who want suspension for comfort. Those bikes are high end in their own lane so the fox branding makes sense.

Hey guys, I came across this shop that is selling new norco range vlt which is not on the official store, it has less travel 170/160 and vertical shock. In the specification there is electric shimano XT Di2 RD-M8250 12 speed, which i did not see anywhere except one page that is not accesible but on google says that this derailleur is 200 euros. That page is in Czech I apologize if somebody posted about this already.

If he'd hurt himself on one of the signature features I'd agree that maybe big freeride-esque features weren't a good career plan... but it was a fairly innocuous corner (for a WC racer, I'm sure I couldn't do it) that he messed up on. Telling someone they should only ride 100% for the 8 WC rounds as its too much...

Are we going to read anything into the photos from the Hardline start list (which will take place in 2025)? There's no consistency so the riders submitted the photos themselves rather than being stock images. Some have chosen to show their sponsored kit, others have almost deliberately hidden it or worn something ambiguous. e.g. Fearon, Holl, Edwards and Vermette have...
