All

So stoked! Thank you so much vital and @sspomer for putting together the league. And thanks to the companies who’ve put up prizes.

Shout out to Fabien Cousine, Ben Walker (New World Disorder fame) aka @buckoW & all the track builders there & the Morgins tracks. Never forget the walking digger & what these folks REALLY accomplished in that region!!!

It would really make the season extra-special if Dakotah or Bernard won a race this season.

Simple instructions for the commenters, STFU when Niko (or whichever pro is in the booth) is talking.

any day is a good reason for intend to launch 4 new forks in a day

Time to start the Flax-pivot thread

I can't imagine landing my whip/kickouts these days on QR rear axles... sheesh. Also, Rockshox just needs to revive the Totem fork in response to Fox's USD hype. Totem with Charger 3, galvanised lower with updated OG tribal decals. KeepTorque Caps ready like all the current forks. Speaking of torque caps, I just converted my E13 front hubs with their torque cup adapters. I guess the steering feel more precise....I think. :D

FINALLY on the bleed ports! I have ran Hope on at least one of my bikes for over 10 years. Bleeding is really my only complaint. Not too difficult, just messy switching the bleed caps back to the regular resevoir caps when done.

Maybe under the black cover on the lowers (where the bridge of the two sides connect) they connected the internal volume of the lowers together to have equal pressure

Eh, looks are all subjective. I happen to like the looks of it - very brutal & stout, fits with purpose. Let the XC guys have flimsy generative design web arches.

Fixed

hmmm i did JW 3, 5, 6, 10 JM 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 18 EW 1, 3, 5, 6, 12 EM 2, 4, 13, 20, 28 Sorry Antoine likely the entire Vital and PB fantasy community combined picked you and put about a generation's worth of cursed luck on ya

1199 looks to be a pretty awesome new school style tech track. Got some hectic shutes and tech loan sections, and some high speed massive features. I think a lot of the reason we don't see tracks with steep hairpins the whole way is because it's terrible for camera locations. It's not like the tracks their riding aren't technical, but I do agree that some flat corners would be nice, but most places repurpose part of the bike park tracks so they come with berms built already.

This reminds me of the horrific SX broadcasting where they have to say like "Monster Energy Series presented by Monster Energy". It can get even worse with team sponsors and then advertising afterwards. They really be like "he's making great time on that Monster Energy Kawasaki here at Monster Energy Supercross presented by Monster Energy, don't forget to pick up a can of Monster Energy at your local grocer today!" (I'm barely even exaggerating there.) in those regards MTB is MUCH more listenable lol

I hear they're bringing in Leo Messi to comment in Val Di Sole. Next time the drinking game will be any time Ric says "If anyone can do it it's xxxx".

Agreed. Would be ok for Ken for a rider or two but kicking the only person who’s been liked on the broadcast for someone who has very little insight on the race is a terrible call.

Dude, seriously, either use Google translate or don't expect to get any answers.

Oh no, hope Erice is okay, it would be horrible if she re-injured herself so soon after Hardline. I was surprised she was already back and racing.
