12/11/2025 2:57am Was most likely a press release with an embargo sent to the mtb media before its official release, asking to hold publication until the specific date/ and time.

12/4/2025 2:51pm Yeah. I saw Gee and Dan in that area during late summer. So hard to know how many WC races will race it if it's week before Whistler WC. That would mean three big races back to back with some serious risk....hmmm

Downtime Podcast Liked a reply to forum topic The Bikeconomics (Mega)Thread
11/25/2025 11:21am If your definition of making money in a cushy fashion is 4 days work for minus £40 and comments like this, then I must be that hanger on using mountain bikers for my benefit. Just to be clear, this was my decision to do this interview and I'm not unhappy about doing that at my cost. YT just covered the bulk of the travel to enable us to do it in-person, which I think provides not only a better quality audio and video experience for you all, but also makes the conversation flow better. This doesn't in any way change...

11/24/2025 8:29pm Chris is the man. The amount that guy does for gravity sports and athlete exposure is unreal. I think it's unfair to bash downtime over the YT gong show. Keen for a Vital x Downtime 2025 recap podcast this slow season 👀

11/20/2025 5:58pm A company can have more than just one CEO or "Geschäftsführer". Markus has always been CEO/Geschäftsführer of YT. There were times when he had another one beside him.

11/18/2025 7:19pm Over the past year you could see things slipping at YT. Orders stalled, buyers spoke up, and the race team looked shaky. Riders started asking around for spots for the next season by mid year. Their pit kept getting smaller each round. Then the company folded. Its US arm followed soon after. Coverage from most mtb media outlets stayed thin...

11/18/2025 4:30pm Jimmy: " Why was a new entity created on July 11, when the insolvency didn’t happen till after? Why wasn’t it done in your name? Asking on behalf of honest hard working people." "I was a US employee for the last 3 years, as were many on here asking valid questions. The level of transparency around this topic over the last 6 months from global has been slim to none, outside of preaching “Business as usual” for us here in the states. I went to rampage to support YT’s global athletes, only to come home to the news of us...

11/17/2025 9:58pm So Markus (CEO of new company) was busy getting the new YT set up in July while Markus (CEO of old company) was busy running a 50% off online flash sale just prior to declaring old YT insolvent in mid-July. Busy man that Markus. The press release containing two pictures of the guy, one of which is in front of a "WE ARE YT" sign is priceless. Are both pictures of new company CEO Markus? Or maybe one is old company CEO Markus? It's really hard to tell.

11/17/2025 9:57pm Oh boy. It will be interesting to see how this goes. I did some digging and I obviously don't speak German nor am I well versed in German bankruptcy proceedings but what appears to have happened is the old YT Industries (HRB 8353) is in an insolvency proceedings with debts parked there and the new YT (12277) is controlled by Flossman and is taking over the brand and operations. This most certainly means the creditors take a (big) haircut, equity (of prior company) is completely wiped (private equity marks the company to 0) and the "new" company is buying assets...

11/16/2025 2:25am Your comment made me think. Will it still be Les Orres sponsoring that team now that Vali is going there? Seen as she has such a tight relationship and sponsorship with her home resort of Saalbach?
