10/15/2025 11:05am I would bet that the Pivot circus might be his only offer that doesn't feel like a downgrade to some third tier team. Join them for minimal pay but it's good times and high vibes with the freedom to promote himself however he wants (vlogs, merch).

10/9/2025 11:09am The Whistler Blackcomb Master Development Agreement if you want to see what they can and can't do. Vail files it with the SEC. I dug into it last spring looking to see if they could just decide to start doing pay parking without gov approval. There was lots of rumour and chatter of them going pay parking for 2025-26 season...

10/9/2025 10:07am WRONG. Whistler and Blackcomb are not private property. It's built on Crown Land, in 2017 they signed a new 60 year agreement. They also can't fully restrict you from Crown Land or crossing their tenure to access the greater park land around their tenure. Canada is probably much closer to Europe in how many of our resorts are set up...

10/1/2025 1:57pm I'd bet that it's a lot of #2. Huge tariff on raw carbon can't help out in the current market.

Ben Cathro on PB got it right. When he went to sprint out of the gate he twisted his bars to the right trying to get a strong start and his wheel was to far to the right and collided with the pole. It was a costly mistake but will be learned from and will get better.

9/16/2025 2:05pm Damn I was hoping for a hotly contested Snow Bike Worlds with lots of big names fighting for points.

9/16/2025 2:01pm Graphs aside, 6.06kg for full power and 900wh battery is really good. The DJI is 6.26kg and 800wh. Levo gen3 is 7.55kg for 840wh.

9/16/2025 11:03am Dammit, I looked there first but couldn't find them. The UCI site is horrible to navigate. Makes sense now that I think about it that it's more than just the World Series that counts.

9/16/2025 9:37am Because I dug around the UCI site before realizing Team Standings were on the World Series Site, here is a link to the team standings. https://www.ucimtbworldseries.com/standings Pivot with just 8 points.

9/12/2025 12:14pm So not to clog up the rumours thread. Rocky has just released a firmware upgrade for the Powerplay SL, a boost from 65mn to 75nm torque and 500w to 700w peak power. https://bikes.com/en-ca/blogs/stories/firmware-update-rocky-mountain-e-…

9/8/2025 4:12pm Seems odd that the rest of their stuff is Canfield CBF..then they do a ti crab link??? Ti CBF would be on brand. This looks like they just had some rando Asian factory knock up catalog ti crab link.

Big couple weeks for Squamish riders with Elly Hoskin also getting the jersey in Enduro. That’s 5 now for the local riders.

8/27/2025 1:02pm I can't really see Rec Sites and Trails giving a permit to build Hardline on Crown Land in the S2S. Maybe they could find a way to build something in the AlpX heli tenure, but again that needs approval as it's not private land. I'd say it's in the dreamers stage but happy to be proven wrong.

Lol, wtf am i getting dragged into this for. But gives me a better idea of who went to the hassle to make a fake linkedin a few months ago to sh** talk me there of all places. As far as which US races get points, go to the UCI calendar on the uci website and filter down to the mtb races specific to the US (or any country you want). It'll tell you which class it is. Last couple pages of the rule book UCI MTB Regulations will tell you how many points that event is worth. earlier in...

8/27/2025 10:07am What are some numbers for the French events? In 2023 Crankworx claims 300,000 over ten days. https://www.biv.com/news/hospitality-marketing-tourism/crankworx-2023-f… When I do a google search for "highest uci wc dh attendance" Google AI says it was Fort Bill in 2016 with 20,000 over the weekend. Tourism Whistler says that overnight capacity is 30,000 (matches up to the Crankworx number above). https://www.ucimtbworldseries.com/news/the-whoop-uci-mountain-bike-worl… UCI...
