@sspomer any chance that you can promote/post the q2 replay to the front page? I didn't look at the q2 results from the Loudonville and was able to watch it without spoilers. It was tricky as I had to cover both eyes and scroll the form to find it. Makes for a fun pre-race race if you can catch it spoiler free.

We really need an explanation on why they have geoblocked NZ (and Aus?) - as far as I am aware they haven't sold the rights to anyone else in NZ. Makes no sense at all.

Looks like Production Privee is about to release a DH bike (not the CNCd one tho 🥲)

Spot on, gone are the days of a young Aussie or Kiwi buying a one way ticket to Europe, buying a shit old sprinter van and eating Petrol station bagguettes to make a career from riding bikes down a hill fast as fuck. 20+ Vanzacs have made successful careers from exactly that spirit of loving the sport and doing whatever it takes to succeed. Having a Mum who fondled an aliens balls on TV 25 years ago shouldn't be the new status quo. I used to wear an onion on my belt, as was the style at the time

ESO is the organizer. If they can’t introduce a venue that they choose and produce a race then what are these teams paying them for. Yeah if the lift was down or there is severe enough weather at the time. But mud? These guys cancelled a mtb race at the highest level for mud because of bad planning. It’s their literal job to work with the local organizations to have a all weather track so teams don’t pay them and fly across the world to not race. Red Bull never was in charge of medical. But they were pretty instrumental...

I see Wyn’s reason for anger. Didn’t he fight as a privateer to move and up where he is now? He wants others to have the same opportunity not have mommy and daddy buy spots on teams. He IMO has done more good for the sport of late than anyone else. So yiu know Im going to continue to believe he if fighting a fight he feels is right and not just an old man yelling get off my lawn.

I think it’s time for more riders and teams to publicly air frustrations. Changes under redbull 80 to 60 (not sure Red Bull was even behind it) Protected riders after Aaron won dropping early. They simply wanted the best riders by standings on the broadcast. Changes under eso Paywall No protection Intro of semis live on YouTube Semis no longer broadcast Semis now a qualifying 2 replay. 60 to 30 men. Not sure we were even hitting the limits in the women’s field most races under redbull. 10 women to 15 women. Entirely new, complicated way of being able to...

@sspomer your gonna need a big ole banner on the front page otherwise your gonna be feilding that question 2million more times this year. Good luck, were all counting on you.

If you’ve owned or worked on a yeti with switch infinity, you’d probably be happy with more bearings instead

Yeti engineers when discussing how many bearings to use:

song is perfect! It’s definitely a horrible song but that was some critical racing…danger everywhere hahah

No Vital Raw, no WynTV, having withdrawal symptoms.

Worst birthday present EVER

Updates from Stan Nisbet on why he ended up missing his start time - For those without the gram - Got to the top of the hill for my run and I had a valve core failure on my shock, which left it with little to no air. We tried our best to sort it with the time we had but unfortunately ended up being a couple seconds too late, so wasn’t allowed to start. Chance in a million but that’s bike racing! Lots of positives to take away from the weekend and tones of fun was had with the...

Gambling is gnarly. We absolutely do not want gambling in our sport.
