Maribor has hosted World Cup DH, World Cup ski racing, and Europa Cup ski racing (which is the feeder series to the world cup). I don't think the venue has an issue holding expensive events. I would guess this is specific to the iXS cup, and that the venue isn't forecasting a good return on this particular event. In short the UCI could do more to prop up their feeder series, especially if their long term plan is smaller World Cups.

Good, the sooner tear offs are banned all round the better. And when a company gets round to making a remote roll off system loic can have an extra button on his bar

YT will soon release a new long-travel e-MTB. It has been spotted in an Austrian bike park.

We do have a couple VWs right now!!!

I think he’s been sampling the shrooms…

Is... Is this an insult? That's the most mundane accusation I can think of. "I bet you enjoy mustard on your hot dogs. And drink water when you're thirsty."

bizutch if I sent you some shroom chocolates would you eat them?

I think he already did

The lack of mountains in Switzerland is a real bummer.

Steel bolts work pretty well.

lol these are brutal to watch now. I made a channel that did this. And GoPro took the channel down (with strikes) right before they started uploading the same thing. I love that they are at least doing them, and didn't just nuke my channel for funziez. But now I can't really play with my passion project

bizutch sometimes I wonder how you manage to eat with how full you are of yourself already also can we keep this to racing and not derail it into people showing their asses on the race course thank you very much

Beyond that in mtbing that first generation only had to compete against themselves. The second generation only really had to compete against themselves (other than Greg and peaty) and most of them only started riding and racing mtbs as teens in pretty small fields. Now you have kids who grew up riding and racing modern bikes in large fields of riders and or developed mtb communities. And it shows in the results. It’s going to continue to get way more competitive from here on out. Pretty much every pro/team manager/industry insider constantly talks about how much more competitive it is...

Meh... This is gonna go off the rails again, isn't it? Dang it. Gonna have to rip down my days since calendar:

All sports have gotten more professional, especially the non traditional "stick and ball" sports, and because of that the entire field is significantly better than it used to be. Margins are tighter and there's just more "capital from investors" looking for a return on said investment. And even if these guys were training just as hard "back then" as they do now, their training wasn't nearly as effective as the sport specific training top level athletes have access to now. A lot of this has to do with advances in sports science and performance, but also the equipment meant to...

really? americans not giving a shit about recycling? color me shocked!
