Out here in France these things are being aggressively marketed towards all of the MTB community, a bunch of top enduro riders in the masters class have switched over even though they would still win their category on regular bikes. Bruni and Vergier were on these all last winter. So yes, fast guys are using them and being marketed to and the feedback is very positive from them (double your descending for the same effort and time as on a regular bike). For now, it seems it is mostly sponsored riders, but it probably will catch on, for better or...

Eoin Added a reply to What do you want to see from an MTB edit?
3/8/2016 12:49am Some of my favourite edits have been the raw stuff from the WC, but even more so the New Zealand guys riding at home, Brannigan, Ed Masters, Reece Wallace... If the rider is loose enough, that is the way to go! But a finely crafted edit showcasing exceptional skill in varied terrain with a hint of landscapes, a tiny bit...
Eoin Added a reply to The 'What's Your Coolest Feeling on a Bike Ever?!' Thread
3/3/2016 12:12am For me it's when you find the flow of the trail and it feels like you can spend minutes at a time without braking or pedaling.

12/1/2015 7:24am I think you needed to make your own mix as the Slime sealant is so bad. Notubes' sealant is incomparably better, almost always seals any hole smaller than a 1/2cm, whereas Slime cant fix a thorn hole or valve leak... In my experience: Go full ghetto with a BMX tube on cheap rims. Specialized's tubeless rim tape is incredibly cheap...

9/2/2015 6:59am I love that on multiple occasions this year Troy Brosnan has talked about "riding like Sam Hill". The guy rode with Sam and now is team mates with Gwin, and still considers balls out fast riding to be "Sam Hill" riding...
Eoin Added a reply to RESULTS: 2015 Masters World Champs DH from Andorra
8/28/2015 6:57am Yes those are Loic and Loris's dads: Jean Pierre Bruni and Claude Vergier. Bruni Sr got gold already in 2013 and silver in 2014. All of them ride Lapierres, I guess it is like the Atherton package

So now, obviously, all I can think of is the correlation between time featured in VitalRaw practice vids and finals results. It's the next logical analysis after TT and qualis from the last weeks
