badbietz Added a comment about feature Op-Ed - DON’T SPOIL THE RESULTS IN THE TITLE

9/18/2019 9:24am
I think a big difference for us US based fans is that the Super Bowl is on Sunday at 3pm while most World Cup races air at 3am so by default a large majority of us watch the replay 6 to 16 hours later. Props for keeping the results out of the headlines and hopefully no podium pic on instagram stories, winning bike 6-8 hours later is still weak due to the reason above.

Hey @iceman2058 when you guys do gear reviews it would be nice if you included the length measurement of the short both inseam outer-seam. As a tall rider length of short is important to me, kind of like reviewing a bike with out including the reach measurement lol. Also providing the height and weight of the reviewer/model in the photos and the size he is wearing would be great to for an apparel review. I do appreciate the in depth review of the features of the product but for most people I know fit and sizing is just as important...

The problem is if you limit the wheel size you are then giving the advantage to the smaller and lighter riders who fit the 27.5 platform better. What is next limiting everyone to flat pedals because clips give you more power, everyone has to run 165mm cranks and 780mm bars with 2.4 tires? As Danny said if it is faster for a given rider they will run it, if not they won't. The biggest challenge is to keep the integrity of the tracks so they stay proper DH tracks, that will solve everything.

Haha, easy for all the short guys to lobby for a rule outlawing 29er's. I think as long as they keep the tracks proper the short guys will run 27.5 and the bean stalks will opt for 29er. If they start dumbing down or straightening out tracks that will be an issue. As a bean stalk myself I like seeing the progress, Minnaar looks normal on the V10 29er

If you guys want to help him out go follow him on Instagram and other Social outlets. That is one metric the bike companies look at when someone isn't posting results in contests or big vid parts.

Spartan looks sick but it's an 8lb frame vs the Enduro at sub 6lb. Depending on you intended use this may make a big difference. Personally with so many all mountain bikes out right now that are 6lb frames I just don't get an 8lb frame other than a DH/Freeride rig.

Stage 1 down the DH course Stage 2 down the Dual Slalom course Stage 3 through the pits weaving in and out of people and collecting as much swag as possible Stage 4 best trick into the air bag (speed and style format) Stage 5 riders will be broken up into teams and must pedal the Sierra Nevada beer cart...
