The bar for going to jail is innocent till proven guilty. The bar for civil cases, keeping or getting a job, or people wanting to associate with you is much lower.

Not gonna lie the clipless Sambas go pretty hard.

I swear this guy has been sitting at home smoking crack and watching frameworks videos all week. 2026 Team Rumours is officially done for me. Maybe we can spell it right next year ✌🏻

Apparently in the paddock, the on camera charm doesn't translate among his peers on circuit. I have the opposite effect.

Rein4ced, the European thermoplastic factory whose technology goals resemble Guerilla Gravity's declared bankruptcy and closing today. They'd worked with Focus, Ghost, Kellys, possibly others. Here's a word salad of thoughts: Focus is Pon, Ghost is Accell, I'm not sure if Kellys has corporate overlords. Thermoplastics are perhaps still not ready for prime time. Reshoring to the West is hard. The robots failed to take over this time, or perhaps Asian robots were more efficient than these European robots.

ten minutes... not gonna let that pass the sniff test. i usually like my lies to be a touch on the believable side. (less on the contrived hype, FOMO side)

The good news is there has been a fairly large resurgence of post-hardcore type stuff so... I'm eating GOOD for my soul food of music. Not that I can use any of that sh!t in a biking edit. But yeah hip hop wise I'm... Not clued in to say the least. I was enjoying a bit of Ocean Wisdom and Four Owls stuff I guess. I kinda fell off the Kdot train around Damn. I'm basically starving in the desert and waiting for any drop of Earl Sweatshirt tracks to sustain me...

I'll take all the WuTang I can get. Politics aside. And most new music is to blame for that lol I'd also love some MF DOOM and Mos Def but... It's not as popular in MTB it seems

yeah man they will just dust off a Stab deluxe from the Kona museum floor, some JNCO jeans and a discman with P.O.D's greatest hits (Alive on repeat) take these with you bro

Dude, do you even watch DH racing? Goldstone wore an aero speed suit at every race last year.

A little different from the normal leeks here: 27.5+/29 mullet

I know it's not the World Cup, but as people were arguing against aero all I could think about was The Speed Traps at both Hardlines and those big +90ft jumps. I think the fastest speeds were above 60km/h. That's damn fast on a bike and aero clothes are going to make a difference for sure. Hell, I'm NOT fast and I notice an aero difference when I go from a loose shirt to a tighter shirt between laps on a local xc loop! Do I think aero clothes are cool? No. I elect to wear pants and tshirts. But...

lots of people demonstrating that they slept through school

This is objectively wrong. La Thuille DH track is 1.4 miles, and the winning run was 3' 27", so the average pace was ~24mph.

Ben Cathro is on-record that the skinsuits they wore at Ft. Bill ended up delivering ~1 sec/min of race time ; that's a LOT. (And yes, most tracks aren't like Ft. Bill but the point stands).

Have you watched DH races before?

I've said this many times in these forums. DH has not really scratched the surface with aero, and those who do will reap major rewards given how close times have gotten. I think it is overlooked that (I think it was) Neko who said in an interview that his teammembers had to train in their Speedsuits because it was that much faster than normal kit. Their braking points would get all messed up if they trained all sessions in normal kit, then put on the Speedsuit for race day. Jackson is without a doubt one of the most skilled on...
