I was dying reading it. Not sure what backwoods area they are from. Women are allowed to vote and drive in most places of the world of you didn’t know.

The Kate comment, straight out of the 19th century. jeeeeez

That is just the noise of the pole about to explode

Man I wish they were that cheap in Canada. An EX511 goes for $206 CAD, and a lot of people demo rims like this pretty frequently where I live. Add in the cost of wheel builds and spokes for the average rider who doesn't have the knowledge and tooling to rebuild a wheel, and those NQA carbon hoops start to look real good. After a few years of mid season wheel builds, I made the jump to LG1 Carbon Race rims, and am so far very glad I did.

I heard in the pits at a recent race they’re just debadged crank bros wheels

So graphene isn't worst than copper ? Has anybody done some research on this? Amongst other negative effects and what we don't know yet, the graphene nanoparticles can cause lung cancer and won't degrade in nature. A quick (or lenghty) google search gives many scientific articles. I won't buy any product made with this toxic stuff, especially from shady companies who try to make it seem like it's totally fine and better than copper. Here's one leaflet made by the European Comission about the effects of graphene : https://ec.europa.eu/environment/integration/research/newsalert/pdf/gra…

My (extremely) limited knowledge in this is related to the state of your lungs after serious sicknesses such as how some people experience COVID-19... When the lungs experience inflammation there can be scar tissue in the lungs that restricts your lungs' ability to absorb oxygen. This effectively reduces your lung capacity, which would explain what you are feeling. I am not familiar with the details, but I was sorting chest scans of healthy patients vs severe COVID-19 cases and so was told the basics. It's something that happens with other respiratory illnesses, but because of COVID-19's breadth of symptoms it...

Funny how everyone is claiming Minnars retirement after an "off" year of a top 10 with not even racing the last one.

Ah yes, those last 5 years when he won the overall twice... Without training you say, what a man!

Noticed the first thing loose dog did when Santacruz sent him his was swapped out the 29er for a 27.5. Totally get the mullet thing but not for a jibby playful fun bike where grins are preferred over lap times

Mullet can lick my chode.

I think Camille is a bloody fantastic person, amazing to see her rise within the sport. She comes across as a humble, lovely person that wants to have fun and do the best she can. Such a great sport, the mash up of personalities and the excitement of seeing everyone do well. Just amazing.

She raced just 2 world cups in 2018, was a privateer as late as 2019, got the rainbow stripes in 2020, and is World Cup Overall Champion in 2022. Camille Balanche has had probably the fastest progression in Downhill MTB since Palmer. I hope she gets the best possible contract out there.

11 Grand for GX AXS? Damn

Why do you want the sport to be more professional? Having a bunch of crazy people slamming beers and holding chainsaws and airhorns WFO inches from the track is badass. If you want professional go to a tennis match.

Who will do the English language broadcast?
