Greenland and Dak vs Barelli and Spitz. One fast course and one tech course.

Vital MTB: "I have friends everywhere."

live from Maribor… Vali is in an non-brandet Commencal with all her RS FA stuff

In non-Tippie news, Greenland and Dak to Ventana for tanduro.

Is very standard that many pros sell their bikes at end of year. Look at the BK Frame pages back f/ example.

believe or not the vast majority of mountain bikers simply do not follow racing, it's not even on their radar

Tippie isn’t competitive, and you’re not really hiring him to ride. He's basically a marketing ambassador. You aren’t paying him to even ride, really. He has a skill set that’s beyond riding and something that most people, regardless of their riding ability, don’t have. He’s not really a “modern” influencer, because social media isn’t his medium, but a brand would basically “sponsor” him in the same way as an influencer, not as a racer/freerider. You’re paying for the personality and story, not the talent.

Young Master Goldstone is car shopping?

Their enduro team was done last year but they graciously kept me on board for this year with my contract having another year on it. Sounds obvious of course, but the bike industry isn't always so giving. The DH team took me in and I had a blast all year long, which was the main reason for doing DH at the end of the year. I just wanted to hang out with the team some more, and who wouldn't take the chance to race World Cup DH while they can. As for next year, stay tuned.

did you get high on dw‘s farts before posting?

ENOUGH BK-LIFE-CHOICES TALK IN HERE.

Tippie was in NWA quite a bit over the last couple of years as part of YT events. Everything said on that writeup is true. He's unflagging in his positivity and stoke. He includes everyone and interact with everyone from the kookiest kid to the most seasoned pro. He's almost uncomfortably positive and full of stoke at times, but a brand really couldn't ask for a better ambassador. I hope he lands somewhere. Dude is a legend, and his story of climbing out of the dark depths of addiction is inspirational.

No way would trek let go of Sacha - she showed some great form to end the season.

Dak discussing "tutti Compression, niente Rebound" with the italians at EXT would be top content for sure

Look around and you’ll see where Spomer said leave this personal shit out of the forums.

So much hatred towards BK. I don't understand it. He does a lot for the sport, and his private relationships – which are discussed a lot here, and where everyone is entitled to their opinion, just like with sausage, politics and art – shouldn't really matter. He does more for the sport than all the keyboard warriors here in the forum.

Do you think jumping on an unproven bike would be a good move compared to his current setup which seems to work great for him? Personally think Mondraker would be mad to get rid of him. The team have the potential to have a 1 2 3 podium.

I wonder if Ella Swegby will be racing this year for Trek. She was away all 2025 season, but she posted that she was back on the bike last month. She had some very good results 2024, after switching from Enduro to DH.
