It will only make it more difficult for the amateur rider. Why change something that is no problem? I can allready see the armada of mums and dads with their Motorola Walky Talkys being agressed by thier kid because they could have said something about a two second gap 5 seconds earlier. Not every idea is good even if it could ad something that could be helpfull for a handfull. On the other hand I think that a rider should be alone between the tape and make his own decisions. It is a 3:30 minutes sport. Not 30minutes plus 2...

9/5/2023 11:53am I wouldn't be surprised to here FMD wrapping it up. Kaos is done with racing and Tahnee can probably get more money on the open market than working for the family business. Tahnee made mention of taking over more of her career management on the Sleeper podcast. It wouldn't be a bad time to take retirement as the sponsorship dollars...

9/1/2023 10:21am I smell some sneaky racecraft being applied! With a course this new and this wide I bet many of the riders holding a protected status rode their B-lines in qualy. Do you pull out the goods in Semi or do you continue to hold until finals? I can't wait till Sunday. This is going to be a good one!

9/1/2023 10:14am I'm calling BS. Ain't no way he is that composed on that track. They had him do a voice over on the trainer in the pits. lol

9/1/2023 10:05am A 0.1s is so ridiculously small of a margin. Literally could have been decided by the air resistance of their go pro coming into the finishing line. Just goes to show you how far these guys are pushing the limits of the track and their equipment.

9/1/2023 9:59am I haven't ever been in a F1 car going around a track, but I have been in a NASCAR going around Darlington Speedway. The noise, the violence, the forces. For the unacclimated it is difficult to remember to breathe and yet the drivers are taking all this in, while maneuvering inches from a hospital visit, while holding a full conversation...

9/1/2023 9:45am I agree and I agree, lol. It is annoying that every fringe sport has a pitch that starts with "Its like Drive to Survive, but..." And it is especially annoying that people feel the need to modify a sport to suit the viewership of reality tv. With that being said we live in a tiktok dance culture. Originality is no...

Could this possibly lead to better pay? Not saying it will but I mean nothing else has really got them better pay so why not give it a shot.

B Practice Podcast from Andorra is live - https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/vitals-b-practice-podcast-andorra-wor… We spent a lot of time chatting about semi-final points, the track, and the weather delays. Always interesting to hear Dak's thoughts as someone racing and battling for a podium position.

9/1/2023 9:24am From what I am seeing ebikes are becoming more of the rule than the exception on the trails. I would venture that companies will very soon be having strat meetings on how to distinguish and market non-ebikes.

8/30/2023 1:04pm Kade's paint job is amazing! Hopefully we get to see a lot of that back on Sunday.

8/30/2023 9:47am From what I understand your tires need to stay within the tape, whether in the air or on the ground... but... That would be ridiculously cool and open up all sorts of gambler lines if one could air over the tape so long as they didn't touch down outside the line.

8/30/2023 8:55am The Ride Companion's latest pod with Clay Porter featured a discussion about Clay's vision for bringing a "Drive to Survive" type documentary to the world of Downhill Racing. One of Clay's stipulation was the need to have the Pits/Team Managers communicating to the racers during their race runs. I think we can all agree with Clay's vision of the entertainment...
