7/27/2025 10:57pm I did really like Rachel bringing that up. I think another way to look at it is we know people can clear 90 footers. We knew that even before Hardline added them, obviously. And we also know that the speed variance between people riding the 90s is pretty low. You have to clear them... But you also can't go too fast because going deep deep on the 90s is a bad, bad idea. So as a race feature it's... I mean it's basically for shock value, a la the canyon gap (RiP). Again, I don't think that canyon gap would...

7/27/2025 2:32pm Take into consideration how many runs of the track that Asa has altogether compared to every other rider there, especially Charlie Hatton. It would have been interesting to see how he would have fared today against Jackson and the Alran brothers Credit to Neko as well because the bike he has developed looks like an extension of Asas body

7/26/2025 11:32am I think we all know the downfall of Intense is when they went to Kenda tires, any brand to takes sponsorship money to race on concrete tubes is doomed. Jokes aside, that was a very curious choice and really started the downfall of the racing program, not sure how it factors into sales, but I'm sure it doesn't help.

7/26/2025 11:28am A union adds democratic structure to a corporation. The workers use their bargaining power as leverage to negotiate their working conditions. You vote for your union reps like you would for representatives in government/council. Plenty of countries have gone insolvent due to the decisions of an autocratic leader, just like plenty of companies have gone downhill due to the decisions of a bad CFO. Bike companies are not an exception. The fact is, having the responsibility of an entire company in the hands of unaccountable CFOs or board members is a lot worse for stability than the responsibility being shared...

7/26/2025 11:28am Don’t know a lot about labor politics outside the U.S., but respectfully, labor unions really can take credit for getting US workers the 40 hour work week and the weekend. Labor unions did that, and it took about 60 years of organizing before FDR signed the Fair Labor Standards Act into law in 1938: https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2015/sep/09/viral-image/does-8-ho…

7/26/2025 11:27am Without unions we wouldn't have the weekend. Don't know why kids earning good wages out of school would ever be a bad thing. I'm sure if there were better union protections for workers in the MTB industry, we'd see a lot of brands still kicking.

7/21/2025 4:28pm Who in their right mind is going to spend any money on a new e-bike from YT right now? If I wanted to get rid of several thousand dollars quickly for nothing in return, there are plenty of better ways to do it, such as setting it on fire or hiring a lawyer to claw back money from YT for other customers.

7/19/2025 8:15pm Am I the only one who thinks 1st place finishes should be worth more than they are currently? I get Bruni has been consistent, but Jackson dominated the last 4 rounds, he should be farther ahead in the points chase imo.

7/19/2025 8:13pm Didn’t Dan booker whose gap it was spend every bit as much time helping people out as Bernard? didn’t Jackson see the gap done live and chose to do it? I guess that’s a benefit of a good qualifier. Watching Bernard over the years he seems to think to be be on the “victim” side of things more often than not. I don’t really see any equation between helping people thru dangerous features and everyone agreeing to ride a feature instead of the bline come race day and essentially giving away all of your racing lines from top to bottom...
