Sick of crankworx to announce their enduro series within a few days of the UCI announcing theirs is no longer happening. Just hope the crankworx one is more than a new Zealand and Canada series.

Mountain States Cup Race Report for Grand Targhee. This new (revived) series is making it's name known. Next up Purgatory! https://www.pinkbike.com/u/Shawnneer/blog/video-and-race-report-mountai…

posting a question i heard it in a text thread - WBD signed an 8-year deal w/ UCI in 2022. how does ditching one of the events before the contract is up work? is it breach of contract? does someone get paid out? are they vague b/c they're sorting those details out?

I'm completely against flipping start order for any petty overall series interest. Times are so stupidly tight now that 30th can win. It's a FALSE stacking of riders in hopes of building a fictitious momentum. The courses get better sometimes for the last few racers. Sometimes it gets worse for the last few racers. Fractions of seconds spaced out over a 1, 2, 3 hour time span in variable weather & lighting conditions. All splitting hairs in the final. The days of dictating a countdown to fastest run are over. Please stop trying to manufacture a good time I'm capable...

using a oneup 210 but could fit a 240 easily on a size L sb160.

If you had asked me a couple of weeks ago, "What are the chances you buy a Yeti in the next 6 months?" I would have said 0%. Today, 80%.

I would much rather have him be the guy doing trackside interviews before race , during race. I think his personality lends to that type or role better than talking about what he sees on a screen. I might watch the pre race if that was the case.

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco This ain't no fooling around No time for dancing, or lovey-dovey I ain't got time for that now

Full turq Yeti kit is sweet

Bring back race tape

Actually, they had them as soon as 2011 and they had special ones for the Worlds, with the names of the riders instead of the model name. I have pictures from Champery that year. Team, except Graves, was a bunch of cool southern hemisphere juniors, like Shaun O'Connor and Brandon Yrrtiaho etc. I found a picture in the mean time. Need to look for those with tires. Mx

:-) Well, has a French, I can only say that the best cheese is French and near my hometown. Budget wise, full focus on material, components. I mean, we will not have a mega hospitality in Season 1 or the most beautiful set up of the paddock. We want to do things in the good way but it's performance/sporting first. Again like we do in motorsport : we are not the biggest team, but last year we fought with Corvette factory team, beat Porsche, BMW factory teams etc. Dont get me wrong, I am not saying we will bit the...

This is why we did not want too many French riders at the beginning. The team is American : the team principal, Elton Julian, is American/Ecuadorian. We have a workshop in Concord (North Carolina), with the GT racing cars, two trucks etc. Team also has one workshop in Barcelona, which is our base when we race in Europe, also with some race cars, truck, tools. DS always had this international culture : in the crew we have some Portuguese OR Brazilian engineers, Portuguese, Spanish or English mechanics etc. Yes I am French and living in the Alps between races, but...

Its micro marketing and not meant to be a global marketing campaign i would guess. Clearly doesnt move the needle as much as lets say sponsoring an athlete like vali, but will probably also just cost a fraction. I have no clue, but could be that trp doesnt sell as good in germany, hence give a guy from germany a couple of the brakes and he might help sales there. This guy is well known around here, but not only because he does youtube. I have seen him doing comunity stuff like shaping dirtjumps in free acces areas with local...

I heard Trump is trying to buy him....

Appreciate the kind words 🙏 that genuinely means a lot. We try. We keep trying. And yeah, when I say we, I really do mean me. Still just one bloke doing everything: product, riders, logistics, emails at stupid o’clock, the lot. No staff, no big safety net. Just belief and stubbornness. The industry doesn’t make it easy for small independents. The big dogs have deeper pockets and louder voices, but that was always kind of the point. Do cool shit, build something authentic, and if it ruffles a few feathers along the way, so be it. I’m proud that Viris...

The podcast plays a big oart in It, at least for me (I'm a spaniard). You get a look behind the scenes and to "live" the WC thru his eyes, so there is a familiarity that others don't have, add to that he is a cool cat , normal dude and you get why he's loved around these parts. In a sense he is a Vital Rider.

Definitely Jess with the long hair. Looks like her and Ethan Craik are testing at the same location from their Insta stories.
