Same here, bought Max specifically so I could watch WCDH. I'm not gonna get into the controversy that is the commentary and all that; the racing has been absolutely on fire. Really looking forward to the second half of the season.

True, I didn't think of that. Although building great results in the ProDH series is probably a better career move in the long run, rather than spending thousands of dollars to get to Europe just to not make it to finals. She's fast, but probably not "make it to most world cup finals" fast. Although who knows. Andorra had 2 or 3 national jersey riders make it to finals in the Mens' field.

Thanks for the link. Didn't try 'body'. Thought I covered it with armor and chest. Looks like more confirmation 100% is garbage, jackets are hit or miss, and chestys like the POC are a stand out favorite. Which considering Arcon is like the successor... I guess that's the move. I do wonder how people run it when they un-buckle it (or take it off) for climbs though. Just let it hang loose while still being on the back or something extra funky like... On the bars/frame/etc.

I'm been using them for 6 months and haven't punctured any less or more. Puncturing seems pretty arbitrary sometimes and a difficult thing to test with so many variable in real life. I've gotten flats in areas I've ridden through trails 100x's no problem but because a rock recently got kicked onto the trail I got a flat. I really wouldn't let this one test deter anyone from any tire.

Hard disagree. IMO, if you watch Hardline like a WC DH stop, you're going to be disappointed. If you watch is a more of an event than a race, and include all the practice and pre-race footage, it's fantastic. You get riders from all over the spectrum. Fast, really fast and WC winning fast, but also freeriders and trick riders and old heros. You get women who are pushing their limits and progressing the sport. Yes, at the end of the day, it's a race, but it's not about individual riders or teams or points. Everyone is walking the track...

7/23/2025 12:27am

I have wider feet up front and for trail riding I have the Northwave spider 3, and for downhill i have Leatt 5.0. The Leatts are a bit wider than the Northwaves and the cleat can be positioned further back. I haven't tried as many Leatts but i believe they're pretty similar between models. Northwaves XC shoes are more narrow...

There was a lot of hard work that went into building those hits. It's a submission video, not the finals.

I’ve heard other riders discuss it as well in both regards to video submissions and preparing for the event itself. It’s really hard to ride rampage-esque features. Not many other places in the world with that terrain. Even if you can find somewhere, that’s a hell of a time and money commitment to dig and ride. All that and maybe your still not selected.

Am I the only one who thinks 1st place finishes should be worth more than they are currently? I get Bruni has been consistent, but Jackson dominated the last 4 rounds, he should be farther ahead in the points chase imo.
