I'm pretty certain 3000 bucks could not be crowdfunded from this site. 60 people contributing 50 bucks wouldn't be possible considering the amount of crying done about TV subscription fees

this I did hear from a few privateer teams and non paddock partner brands/editorial The UCI team fees cover media rights for the 20-25 teams, and rhey have access to an additional additional content pool of WBD stuff if not in that group your team/brand has to pay for media rights. there is no fee for photography, just video. And what breaks down to essentially $300/round seems reasonable Still not sure how anyone's lost their job or coverage has been restricted. other rhan there no longer being 50 kids with video cameras in the finish corral shooting for kicks World...

Hi, long time WC media guy here (14 years long).. I'm also very curious to hear some names and facts about this from you But in the meantime let me share some of my own. Each team is allowed to register photographers and videographers (each team then receives a set number of photo and video bibs for the season). if someone doesnt work for a team they can register as independent media once they have letters of assignment from a verified media outlet. there are little to no restrictions as to what can be shot/posted. This hasnt changed since the...

Dialed was fantastic with all of it, the stories, the editing, and all around fun by Shaffer, and Jake. Killer work. It is sorely missed, and a shame that Fox shut it down. It was the essence of the World Cup week. One day I hope it makes a comeback.

he is a certified P.O.S. Why else would someone shit in his tent at hardline

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 ✌🏻

Idk how relaxed i would be if my team manager had a history of sleeping with his employees

Agreed, Bucko is a legend for sure and even deserves some credit for sending Neko down the path he is currently on. Ben has been making his own DH frames and parts in his basement for years, plays a key role in development with the Scott DH Team, and is a caretaker for some of the best trails in Switzerland (including the infamous Champery track). He went to college and lived in Durango some 20 years ago, and his name still routinely comes up in local conversation. Chapeau @buckoW ! Dak is lucky to work with you. 👍

marine cabirou would like to have a chat with you

As someone who was there from the very beginning (okay EWS #2), I think the story arc of EWS/EDR is a bit more complex that people think, and that Chis Ball is not the boogie man some make him out to be. EWS was not just Chis Ball, it was a run by a board, with Chis as the most public facing member of the organization. Keep in mind that in 2013 enduro racing was seen as an exciting new sport (yes I know, it wasn't new in France and Italy) and the timing was perfect with new wheel sizes...

If you want to know the defnition of what a forecast is, I cna try to explain in my own words (that is how we work with forecasts and does not need to apply for others): For starters, we are an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) for many brands. That means that companies buy our products to put them on their complete bikes. Usually, before the beginning of a new year or model year, our customers will provide us with an estimate of their complete demand for a certain period of time. This estimate is called a forecast. This forecast can...

fyi the preorders of misspent books just arrived on my footsteps... and conveniently it's gonna be raining for the next few days so no riding.. hell yeah.
