Wasn’t a fan of this feature before and definitely even less of a fan after seeing BK and Jim do it BK almost landed to far to the left and ran off the landing in that direction which looks like it would be disastrous. And the compression from the transition was enough to spit Jimbo off his bike. It’s just not a good feature, imo. Reminds me of Sam Reynolds (I believe it was) refusing to do a rampage run because they wouldn’t put up safety netting. They need netting on this.

Dan is very chill with only slight serial killer vibes. I once threw Rach out of the workshop because she was being too irritatingly hyper active.......she's forgiven me now.

Same with Rampage. Both used to be about raw, rugged lines. Now it’s mega hucks. bring back raw, rough, natural riding.

At this point they should contact Klemens and Sam to get their book of jumps, the Darkfest crew can build insane jumps that are consistent and safe from the first run because of their knowledge, whereas Gee and co have had a less than stellar history of building them correctly first time.

Maybe they're gonna add a net? Please?

Just sayin, that takeoff doesnt look all nice and floaty. Looks like two separate big compressions with a surprisingly steep and short lip.

I still enjoy Hardline, but I think I preferred it back when there was more tech and it was less about the jumps.

For me, the scaffold structure takes away from the rugged Welsh mountains bit of a shame to see it head this directions on track building

you have to create a new team each round or a team will be auto-picked for you (stated on rules page). rider values change each race, so a team picked at race #1 for $1m could be valued over $1m and blow the budget at race #2.

Amazing ride by Ronan. Tough "what if" for Dak; I hope he snags a win soon!

I would love to see the difference in bar hight from Finn´s vs. Dak´s bike. Seems that they were completely the opposite. Finn´s bars are totally slammed and Dak´s bar is higher than Bob M. ever was.

That bit about Frameworks customers offering their frames got me feeling stuff. Thank you, mountain bike people.

On the Downtime post-race show they mentioned the KODS (Keep Our Device Secret) on Amaury's bike and were speculating that it was an electronically controlled position adjuster for the idler. Pretty wild if that's what it is...

This will be the season of haves/have-nots with electronic suspension. By the 2025 season anyone running Rockshox will be able to access it (buy it aftermarket even). Rockshox product is basically ready for sale now. ... And Fox will probably catch up enough that most of their world cup athletes will be on it next season. Ohlin's athletes might be up shit creek though as they've moving much slower. The electronic lockout/firm up definitely made a difference on tracks like Fort William where there is a lot of out of the saddle sprinting. Locking a shock out (or even putting...

Is there a rule that they can not have any two way GPS communication on the bikes? I dont feel like we are super far off from them being able to collect enough data that they can have the suspension settings change according to GPS position and get rid of the buttons all together. They should probably have a rule that states that, they have a similar rule in Supercross GPS usage is allowed but nothing is allowed to be two way communicated so its purely data acquisition.

You could throw Asa in there as well, he was on a Fox RAD electronic shock.

Specialized and Canyon have added a connecting rod or horst joint, call it what you want but they are copying Ancillotti's PullShock system. And it seems to work considering the results
