started own thread b/c not racing, but crankworx slopestyle riders boycott rotorua over low pay, no appearance fees https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/slopestyle-riders-boycott-crankworx…

The woods will have the Leogang vibe in the wet though, if you know what I mean, so it's better not wet on a race day I remember riding this before they started building this track and this was a time I decided to buy a 38mm fork Literally my Lyrik could not handle braking and the 65ha was definitely too steep for it. I happen to live in the area, so if anyone is coming and needs some trails advice (and at least 50% are not "official") can hit me on priv.

Course preview from the Tennessee National DH track with Nasty Nik from today. The track looks dry right now, but it's supposed to rain a decent amount Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. Should make for an exciting race day on Saturday.

Nigel Page got a new frame and hopefully fresh backing of what he does. He has posted about receiving all sort of goods lately.

or maybe there’s just more mentally sane people here than in your Truth Social filter bubble. now get the turd that is US politics out of here and let’s talk about bikes and bikers again

Don't get it what the big deal with mentioning Pinkbike is... I feel the community and the vibe there is far from good, but is there a need to skirt around the name too? It's not like we're talking about Voldermort...

a stack of rider vlogs and vidz from the last few dayz. Chris Cumming bike build, Danny Hart at his home track (Lawlor filming a RAW with him this week!), Troy Brosnan POV and Loic Bruni POV.

Trek Factory Racing shows their practice kits with team intro text below.

Pic of BKs bike for anyone that didn’t see the replay

hope bernard is ok. at least there was the clip of him sitting and talking w/ the medic, but holy crap that was a big hit. and what about Ellie destroying the other women by almost 6 seconds. She was in a league of her own with aggression and line choice. Junior Women WC season is going to be a heater this year too!

His "advisors and lawyers" have to be losing their damn minds over these statements to the press. Not sure how things work in France, but as both an attorney and avid fan of American football, I know how these situations are supposed to be handled in the US: you have one of your "advisors or lawyers" issue, or draft for you to issue, a public statement that says nothing in a competent and measured manner, explain that you can't comment for legal reasons, project confidence by claiming that look forward to all the facts coming to light and clearing your...

That is one of the best looking frames I have ever seen. Neko & Frameworks are hands down the coolest thing happening in MTBing right now. More vids!

Riding my bike(s). That sounds facetious but it's really the best way I can explain it. Most days, I'll just look at the bike(s) standing there, and feel this pull to go out and ride one of them. After all these years, that's pretty cool. Also, it's clearly an addiction haha. (many of the other answers in the poll apply as well!)

Switchbacks are a bit of a pain and whips feel a bit awkward sometimes. I kind of enjoy the challenge on switchbacks though. I have to maximize every corner like a Formula 1 driver to prevent myself from riding off the trail. Also, that picture of the helmet on backwards is perfect

I'm not sure an Mtb forum is really the best venue to argue about rape conviction rates to be honest.
