I think they've pigeonholed themselves into it at this point - they don't want to piss off current Pivot owners by changing standards more than anything.

At this point I'm just kind of in awe at their steadfast support of Super Boost...

I can't believe I didn't think of this for B Practice. Hot tube podcasts are genius.

Riders aren't forced to do it though. The whole hardline thing is about getting gnarly/dangerous. While I don't agree with some of the course choices, who am I to argue with the best in the world whether they want/can/should do it or not?

I just made an account to make this comment, I'm the guy in that video. They definitely felt bizarre and completely wrong the first couple days with them, which is all we showed in the video. After riding them more I started to love them, and I'll get them on again once the bike park opens. They're not an advantage over normal chainless riding, they're just goofy and fun. Lots of people reached out to buy a set from us, but ours was just a one off we made. If those people put their money where their mouth is that...

I could see these being a helpful training tool for isolating different skills in a coaching environment (like doing drills with only one ski), but to me these things look terrible for general use. And I don't just mean because you can't pedal, I mean I wouldn't want to ride skate parks, dirt jumps, or pump tracks with these. Or A-Line. I don't want to keep my crankarms dead level when I'm riding. Dropping an outside foot lowers my leverage point on the bike by 175mm. Why would I want to lose that?

Minnaar officially announced his retirement in 2024. Had a farewell party in Andorra after his self declared last ever World Champs and did an on stage farewell thing on MSA after the last WC race that I saw in some YouTube piece. The latest Norco press release has him listed as team performance manager or something. He's retired. Dakota is injured. Gwin is an active rider, who has not announced retirement. So I don't get your ramble The issue is ethical not semantics
