10/10/2023 11:13am Yeah I don't think people understand how big of a deal it is to wear competitors gear while under sponsorship contracts. My guess is Kade must have destroyed his helmet in a crash and asked to borrow Jacksons to be able to still be a Redbull helmet. I would think his team would guide him in the right direction in this situation, ideally the solution is to find a black 100% helmet and find some stickers to slap on it and hope somebody at Redbull doesn't get pissed. Probably not the easiest thing to do while in a foreign country...

10/10/2023 9:51am I'm guessing that RB pays as much or more as his team pays him to race. I don't know how well for MTB but in moto RB is really picky and they pay good money to make sure other sponsors or even helmet brand logos are not on the helmet. My guess is 100% wouldn't pay the team for a...

10/10/2023 8:28am I'd imagine if Im at a level of racing where a sponsor was willing to do this I'd also be in the position to purchase several frames and do some testing to see what I like the most prior to choosing my race season frame. That GT has shown to throw down some fast times this year in the world cup. I mean shit pinkertons times were not far off the elite men's times and Ethan Craik rallied that bike hard this year... may as well get a hold of one and see what it's all about.

10/9/2023 12:29pm It says „boost bro“ on the back of the helmet which is Jackson Goldstones Instagram Title Line, also he is sponsored by Fox and Red Bull. Maybe a loaner helmet?

10/9/2023 10:40am Correct. It all started in July, 1994, when Cairns, Australia, hosted a World Cup series race. On that day fresh-faced 17-year-old Cadel Evans of Australia was racing his first World Cup event (Jnr's raced with Elite back in the day), using it as preparation for the junior world championships the next month. Roaring home in fifth position in a remarkable performance for such a young rider was Evans. Race organisers, keen to boost mountain biking in Australia, asked the then UCI president who was at the event “if they could have five riders on the podium … because he was...

10/9/2023 10:40am I thought that the 5 place podium thing came from a 90's XC world cup race in Australia. The organisers wanted to get their young up and coming rider, Cadel, on a step and it's been so ever since.

10/9/2023 10:38am Moto helmets must pass the DOT standard. Essentially the shell is much harder to prevent it splitting on rocks/curbs/concrete. DH shell does a better job of absorbing impacts by sacrificing itself so that your brain decelerates a little "gentler". Heck TLD D3 is on mega sale & tests better than tons of helmets. Buy the AStar for moto & snag the D3 for DH. I'd never run one in the other sport. Best of both worlds.

10/9/2023 10:34am Laurie was one of the first there rustling with the personel jumping around celebrating when Jackson had just finished his run. Syndicate coat, Syndicate shirt, Red Bull cap. Just rewatched the end. To me it did not appear that there'd be anything. After Bruni's interview Jackson was hugging Minnaar, Brosnan etc and there was probably what could be thought of ghosting.

10/9/2023 10:31am I definitely don't believe it. Laurie and Jackson were tight all season while Greg did his own thing.

10/8/2023 5:09pm Moto helmets are meant to be able to withstand higher speed impacts, and are heavier because of this, a moto helmet for DH is fine, a DH helmet for moto isnt.

10/8/2023 12:18pm I've been thinking of getting the M10 and using it for both mtb and moto to save money on helmets. It's pretty light weight and I'm assuming it's got a bit more protection then the DH helmet. I'm trying to figure out why not. Like is there different weight biases because on a mtb your head is looking up more...
