10/31/2023 6:06am It will be interesting to see if the economic hardships also have an effect on the pits. I'd guess we'll see a reduction in the amount of line coaches, trainers, chefs, and masseurs.

funktekk Added a reply to The Impact of MTB Content on Cyclists
10/27/2023 7:06pm As much as I would like to say I’m not effected by mtb marketing the truth is I am and very much so. I am inspired by watching racing footage, blogs and shedits, and that inspires my purchases as well. of all the content that I take in I find shedits to be the least compelling. Racing content and racing...

10/26/2023 1:14pm I can tell you that the 5.10 Freerider are wider than the Crankbrothers Stamp. And just for reference the Crankbrothers Mallet (clipless) are marginally wider than the Stamp.

Interesting... I wonder what Sean Leader is going to do, now. I can see Gwin really working on turning Windrock into even more of a development location for youngsters to get support and coaching in the sport.

10/25/2023 5:06pm (Bringing this back on track) if what you say is correct that is great news for developing resorts or those struggling with low snow totals. Maybe perhaps if they host a race and do a good job they can put themselves on the map as mtb destinations of choice.

i'm pretty blown away to have to say this to grown adults (i assume) in our forum, but every time someone trolls or says something you don't like, quoting it and explaining why it's lame/unsavory/kooky/political only makes the thing you dislike live on for days. in the history of the internet, has anyone ever changed their mind and said "you're right," after being challenged/critiqued/criticized/called out in a forum? not that i'm aware of. the garbage has been moderated for now. if you don't like something said here, use the thumbs down, move on, watch it die and it'll be forgotten...

funktekk Added a reply to DH's Potential for Mass Viewership Outside of MTB Participants
10/23/2023 5:38pm From the outside looking in it seemed like all British MTBers are keen to DH. The only times I come across folks who are up to speed on World Cup racing is at local races. The analogies to road racing are interesting. In mtb terms our TDF would be Rampage. I don’t know many people that watch it live but...
funktekk Added a reply to DH's Potential for Mass Viewership Outside of MTB Participants
10/23/2023 9:31am Agreed, however in cases of soccer and cricket there isn’t a significant participation or history in the US where as mountain biking is huge and growing rapidly in the US. And yet hardly any of the riders that I have met are aware of UCI World Cup racing. It seems like a really easy market to capture with the right...

10/22/2023 8:48pm I don’t see DH racing attaining mass viewership without increasing its viewership in the US. I don’t see US viewership increasing without more races in the US.

10/16/2023 7:54am When OEMs go direct to customer are they selling to the customer at the same price they were selling to stores or are they selling at the same price as the store? If the price is the same then why not buy through the shop and put some cash flow in the local bike scene. If the price is lower...

10/15/2023 6:12pm Best wishes to all the riders who got dinged. I watched the replay and was keen with the fast forward, probably about 30-45min all in. Brendog’s line was incredible, but unfortunately riders who doing have a bunch of flippy spinny stuff in the bag shouldn’t be out there risking their health. I got psyched on this one because of Bren...
