Really need to give huge kudos to Dak for the season he's having, he's no spring chicken, coming back from huge injury and he's sending it. I don't usually pull for a rider but I'm rooting for a big result from him, therefor I have deleted him from my fantasy team.

“I’m obsessed with chasing backsides” was my personal highlight

I'm bookmarked straight to The Hub sorrynotsorry

The Avinox is clearly a nice unit, but I view the Bosch as much quieter (only motor that disconnects when freewheeling), free-er pedaling when power is off, has built in bash ring protection where-as the DJI motors need the 245 gram E13 bash ring, has better weight distribution, more service options and importantly more efficient. There are also some that feel the torque sensing is lacking on the DJI. It would appear that the DJI is about 20% less efficient than the Bosch, even when power is equalized. That means on a meters climbed per watt, the Bosch is actually...

8 mil of which value losing dollar variant?

Its just excited.

You didn’t get this from me.

Goat Skull is on the flatter side for a DH race course. I could picture Richie's pedal and pumping power being a weapon on this track. Either way I'm stoked for both of them.

Dak is such a boss! He is so genuinely him. Such a beacon in an already awesome sport.

I think Dakotah was really overcome when he realized he'd just won. It's been a tough year for him, to put it mildly. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPHumgfD89F/?hl=en

A few quick notes on US Open and Monster Energy Pro Downhill Series: - Dakotah now has three wins and one 2nd place finish in the last 4 US Opens. - Kailey Skelton won the Series overall by just 4 points, with Mayleigh Leaneagh taking second. Kailey won 3 of the 5 Series races this year. - Aaron Gwin won the men's Series overall by 12 points (215 to 203) over Dante Silva. Five different men won races this season. (I don't know if they give a cash prize for winning the overall.)

Impressive for Dak to win on that track after the injury. Definitely shows how good he is at generating speed from bike inputs. Should go a long way for his renovation goals. Both on and off the bike with that 15 k.

fuck yeah dak! privateer vanlife ftw! (at least for this race)

That was Greg Williamson.

I'd bet the delta between what we can go buy and what the top guys are running is a lot tighter than most think. Jackson's V10 is closer to stock than not, and we all know how his season is going. Maybe there are a few special parts hung from his bike, but the difference is likely pretty small between what he is running and what we can buy (IE, Grip-X vs Grip-2). Put differently, if you were to hang totally off the shelf parts from his bike and have him race a weekend, I still wouldn't bet against him...

I spent a few hundred hours riding the VST prototypes. Still, to this day, I have yet to ride a bike that goes so damn fast in a straight line. There was so much drama in that era of Sinister, it’s too bad development stopped on that project, two or three more prototypes and I think we would have ended up with a production-ready bike.

Quick rant, does anyone else think Treks new e-bike naming convention sucks. EX-e was fine, easy to search, minimal, clearly differentiated it from the non-ebike versions. Their new naming convention seems to just be putting + after everything. Fuel+, Rail+, Slash+ etc. It doesn't work at all from an SEO perspective, the + ends up getting lost in google and you end up with a bunch of results for outgoing bikes or non-ebike versions when you search it. And Slash-e is way more fun to say than Slash+.
