UDH Enduro is up on their website since this morning and I'm surprised that Specialized packed a very good value in the two builds & S-Works frameset. Even the entry level Comp build is solid, just need to slap a Charger 3.1 damper in the ZEB Select and you're all set.

Assuming you're talking about Angel... On some podcast recently where Neko was talking about the new Frameworks enduro bike, he was saying how he liked Fox (of course), and he went on longer than I'd expect that Ohlins was amazing to work with and their suspension could be set up perfectly. Then just left a short note about how Rockshox was available for the bike if that's what you prefer. It would make sense that he would hype up their current sponsor Fox, so maybe Ohlins is a future sponsor.

Living in a country where we have to travel to ski/snowboard if I break it down to participation hours biking is way cheaper than winter sport holidays. I'd be budgeting £1000 per week for a trip to the Alps. I don't know about other countries, but neither I, nor the majority of my riding buddies are anywhere near what I would perceive as upper middle class, most of us are firmly working class and have the spending power of that level. Granted we are wealthy on a global scale, as are most people in the 1st world, but within the...

One of the most important things in rich people hobbies is having even richer people to get mad at. You and I, we spent what we had to…a dollar more is way too much! And truly: imagine not helping your child pursue their dreams. “Well yeah she loves it, but who gives a shit! We’re going to make her stay home watch the kitchen remodel.” Question: how many people have retired from DH in the black? I’m guessing hmm zero

Exactly, it's pretty cringey that a bunch of grown-ass men are dragging this kid on the internet just because an anonymous rumor says his parents are kicking in some cash to give him a chance to chase his dream. The kid obviously has some talent and happens to have parents with higher than average means. How is this different than sending your kid to an elite ski academy? Reece on Gamux is exciting - gonna get that $100k!

Nick who has Downamics has been managing and wrenching for Heather Wilson this year is supposed to be a real suspension wizard. He has been testing a Gamux for a while... Just a thought, no insight

If true, $75k doesn’t seem like enough honestly? 10 races this year, basically have to pay for months of lodging between races. Mechanic and other support. Team camps. Larger fees for teams next year…… to be on one of the best teams in the sport, kinda seems like a deal.

The truth is out there

if it's been said already, sorry, i didn't read all the replies yet. by far, the easiest thing to do would be to have judging anonymous (like surfing and other sports) 7 judges, each with an anonymous score, highest and lowest thrown out. every judged can have access to replay. scores be damned, the whole week+ was an insane showcase of ludicrous bicycle riding.

To preface, I'm the biggest Semenuk fan but IMO his run wasn't better than Godzieks. Front flip, double backflip, bunch of amplitude, etc.. I'm not a Rampage judge but I still think Godziek's run was better.

Well at least the Women’s was a good watch. After that bs score I am done watching. It’s clear all they care about is Slopestyle on 4’ wide highways

found this sequence pulled from a MiniDV capture that day in 2001 of lance canfield. he sent it that day. apparently putting lots of text/info on the photo was cool in '01 too 🤣 then a shot of shandro 2003 (film camera) and then strait in 2004 (i think, maybe 2005). sven and i rented a 300 2.8 and 400 2.8 lens that year. i had a crappy walmart tripod and the 400 2.8 was so heavy it buckled the tripod LOL. strait shot is with that lens. good times in the dirt. hoping everyone stays safe tomorrow!

brendan's skill is so out-of-this-world. to sit there in the trackstand, so focused and then nail that line? he's already won regardless of result. the vibe with olly and deakin is so rad too. and clay on the dadcam HAHAHA, so rad! what an event!

I'll also add, there's so much dogma in the bike industry, you can't do X because it has such bad Y...etc. We're not totally impervious to this thinking, but with this project we made it a point to actually test these assertions and sort fact from fiction. An example, from the start I felt we had to do a 20mm axle because everyone says so, it was Darren that commented how much it sucks to get a new fork and then realize your wheel doesn't work with it. So we tested and found the diameter has much less influence compared...

I am in the engineering department at Push, and we're all big fans of the Vital community! - Matt I guess I should prefaced that manufacturing comment, before I get the "my buddy owns a casting shop and ..." 😂 So for starters there aren't many magnesium casting suppliers in the US (probably because of safety issues 🔥) but funny enough there is one just down the street from us. The problem with most US manufacturers is size, difficulty, volume, and capacity all have to align before they are interested in any new work. In my experience this is fundamentally...

Im under the assumption that you do work for PUSH, and if so I want to say I appreciate you contributing to the forum. It is really cool to see the insights of companies through those that actually built or worked on developing the products. A lot more comforting too. In all honesty, Im broke and I just downgraded to a Chromag hardtail (Actually an upgrade in some aspects), but your comment alone really makes me reevaluate PUSH as a company in a good way. Not rehashing the same products as everyone else. I think thats cool. But thank you...

Reece Wilson creating his own team apparently being gamux bikes and getting heaps of funding from somewhere out of industry Seems loris and Benoit to commencal with a huge commencal team being formed with all muc off riders too Ellie Hulsebosch has signed with syndicate for next year, Felix Griffiths also signed Stevens mcnabb to trek Anna Newkirk to frameworks Also unior sinter apparently loosing trek and riders just riding their own bikes

Can finally talk about it publicly Asa on Red Bull 🙌🏽
