It's actually pretty simple: Kyle rose to fame as a freeride prodigy, but he always felt his roots were in racing. I actually saw him ride in person at the 2004 Worlds in Les Gets, where Flo Payet won, coming in third and besting my favorite, Ben Reid, by a mere 0.001 seconds. Kyle was heading to Meersburg, Germany for a freeride event called ”Ride to the Lake” (probably the first contest done by Rasoulution) and he had a freeride-heavy agenda. He was a Red Bull athlete and an up and coming young rider, an industry darling. At some point...

Very cool. Thx for the reply. As Team Robot alluded to, there is a "golden window" to really get good at this sport. I picked it up when I was 12, and by today's standards, I'd say that is still too late to be *really* good. Case in point, with exception of a handful of riders, pretty much every pro MX guy started around FIVE! The modern crop of mountain bike pros, too, started silly early. I realize you aren't looking to be a pro, but this does go to show there is a development window that is really important...

Maybe making it mandatory isn’t the right way to go, but I think part of the issue is that because the women’s racing isn’t as popular, there is a smaller quota and fewer riders overall, in a male dominated sport, it makes it especially hard for women coming up to get support as the return on investment for sponsors and teams is just not there. So yeah I guess it is a bit of a catch 22 but if we want the women’s side of the sport to grow, something has to be done. I don’t think it would be...

I think it should be mandatory for every team to have at least one female rider

She is on our program again for 2020, and I couldn't be more happy about that.

"I can also easily avoid PB, Vital Etc. The problem is Facebook and or Instagram." If it matters that much to you, why can't you just avoid Instagram and Facebook too? Do you expect the winning rider not to post about their win pretty quickly? Isn't that a spoiler too? I agree with the points made elsewhere about Redbull making it unavoidable, they should wait at least a day before adding the winning runs.

If I was a gambler and MY money was on the line I'd want to know the results ASAP. Unless you're in or at the event/race who cares how the results are posted. You know where NOT to look if you want to see MTB news. It not that hard and no one is clicking on the websites except you.

Wallace’ Insta would seem to indicate he’s signed on with Canyon for the upcoming year as well. Hart to be be sponsored by Snowshoe #a$$holeofnowhere

Proper edge of your seat stuff at the end there. What a end to WC! Plus not forgetting the end of Champs. Roll on 2020
