In my experience as a sponsored athlete, I found a surprising amount of sponsorship and financial support by being a familiar face at regional races, where I was able to consistently be at or near the top of the results sheet. By contrast, chasing the national series or the World Cup dream was EXPENSIVE (like 5-10x more expensive) and getting anything less than a podium at a national was effectively meaningless to sponsors. As a sponsored athlete, it's important to remember that your job is not to be fast or win races. Your job is to sell bike products. If...

I really hope that Dak and Pinky aren't going to Mondraker. No one has really seemed to kill it on their bikes in a while. I'm hoping that the MS Intense rumors are true for Dak. In his Downtime Podcast appearance, he kept talking about "consistency" being key to his success. If you listen closely, he's not talking about his own consistency (although that's part of it), but having consistency in bike and setup being necessary for his success. He also talked about being in a really solid, comfortable place moving into next season. That would indicate, to me, that...

I swapped elevensix for sveight in the URL... https://www.pushindustries.com/products/sveight

Loic with his moto style reservoir but just missing the servo to turn the compression knob.😎

Still trying to work that one out... Wedge, Parallelepiped, Rhomboid?

Well you can still have part of what you want. Just buy the Misspent Summers Hurly Burly year book for the old school in-depth reportage, geek facts, photography, BTS and storylines each year. More pages and less ads than Dirt too.

Another super annoying thing, the rider’s time is always shown in green. Then a small little line shows up under it to let you know if the rider went slower or faster. Super confusing when we’ve all been used to seeing green only for faster times for years They were told about this after the first race but never cared to change it. (I know that green is their main theme color, that doesn’t mean it has to be used for the time graphic). A small detail but it shows they are not really listening or caring.

A few hours after DH finals were over last wknd, I randomly ended up sharing the elevator (for all of one floor) with CG. He made a comment about how the race was incredible, I commented how Snowshoe somehow always delivers exciting racing, and he made a few other comments about the perfect weather, incredible fans, and great vibe. I realize this was a single, random interaction but the guy seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the whole thing. It's an elevator ride, he could have said nothing. I'm not a huge fan of his commentary, but I don't think he deserves...

Man... I'd love to see Rob back but that's poor form in my opinion. The guy is trying and I see his game improving. I have noticed he has been popping up in the background of vlogs and track walk videos more often. Broadcasting is a tough game and I'm sure if we went back to Rob's first 9 races we wouldn't be that hard on Cedric. One of the things I love the most about watching downhill is rooting for everyone to do their best. I'm rooting for CG as well.

Moimoi TV is the only reason I even remember enduro exists.

Anyone besides me think that the performance note in Bex's post is to imply that Yeti found a way to get out of her contract by essentially making something up? Like perhaps she had bonuses that she was entitled to or an automatic renewal of her contract if they didn't find fault in her. Pointing that part out makes it sound like she had to be fired for cause or her contract would auto renew so they just made it up because the standard wasn't specifically stated as a ranking # in the contract and Contract language was intentionally vague...

Sitting here in a shoulder sling for 6 weeks of rotator cuff surgery healing and getting bummed out that human powered sport is dying at the hands of greedy capitalists who realized they can monopolize free internet content with enough money, regulation & moped batteries.

What has six faces and twelve edges? Don't get it wrong or I'll tell your friends you blewitt.

Nah dude. It just isn't funny. Neither the original post or your response. Saying as much isn't being "woke", and the need to bring up being anti-"woke" every time the majority of reasonable people deem something inane is the most unintentionally ironic "snowflake" behavior. I know you don't want to be a snowflake. Back to rumors please. Kade to join Deathgrip on the ultimate free-racer squad.

Any comments relating to the sexual orientation of a rider in the Team rumor thread is just childish. Keep it on topic

Dak, Gwin, Luca, Neko and Grice on Framewroks/Haas Factory Team (Haas pulled the plug on the F1 crap). Neko spearheading the launch of a new series, Super DH MX. 10 rounds in the US and Canada with a $5 million dollar purse and Apple as the title sponsor.

MTB forums/comments: Reviewers are industry schills, they never write anything bad about any products. Everyone knows that sucks/is unrideable/will fail and won't get warranty support. Also MTB forums/comments: This reviewer wrote something critical about a product I happen to like, they must be biased against that company. Total hatchet job man!

It's a rumors thread, not a one person gospel thread... It's perfectly logical he doesn't want to share the source.
