Elite results - what a race! https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/results-2025-uci-mtb-dh-world-champi… .

Yeah, if any of that was real, I have a bridge to sell you.

That was all fake. YouTube comments are usually best to just turn off...bunch of kids "having fun"... ugh.

Oof. Didn't realize Danny broke some ribs during the break. And he did some rolling around on the ground at Les Gets, like everyone. Insane. Looks like pure suffering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jw0fU_mLhOs (Also Bodi Kuhn torn thumb ligament, jeez)

That's weird that Asa & Ollie are over 6 seconds back. Kind of a huge gap for qualifying. Maybe discussed w/ their teams & no need to risk top seed w/ no points on the line?

I would just interject that potentially, not all HBO system designs are appropriate for all consumers. I find the HBO system in a smashpot effective, but pretty easy to setup wrong, impacting fork performance. Some rebound systems in forks I think are a bit more idiot proof, Manitou's HBO setup works well with a pretty trick rebound check system, so it's minimizing it's impact on HSR when a suspension event is deep enough for it to come into play. The smashpot system has a VERY large impact on HSR. In addition, in it's stock shim configuration (qty 5), 90ml of...

How is the syndicate looking for next year? No doubt Jackson’s bringing in big points but the others have been very hot and cold for the last few years. Felix Griffiths has had a particularly underwhelming season

The anticipation is killing me

Greatest timed downhill run of all time, no question.

That made my day, thanks for posting. 🤣👍

Over under on Neko and Logan getting into a fight in the pits?

The polished bikes look so sick

Vital DH Fantasy will open tomorrow morning. Game will close BEFORE Elite Qualifiers (closes Friday at 11:50pm PST, Elite's qualify on Saturday). Juniors will have qualified before the game closes, however. Should be fun.

Are you thinking of the Gen 2 Sight or the Gen 3 which had the "pick your battery size" idea with removable batteries? Mine was a Gen 2, with the non-removable battery made by Simplo. (but still plenty of wire harness issues and even broken chainstays!) My dealer would always give me nebulous answers on getting a new battery. "It's Shimano handling the warranty, but maybe we can order it" ??? Back to the point at hand, what's going to happen to all those Decoys 5 years from now when they need new batteries? I'd love to buy a used...

I could buy one, but I won't. Frankly, I still can't get on with the "bloated" look of most e-bikes. Not to mention the heft. Having to get a ramp to roll it on to my bike rack, or pray that the electrics work when you want it to is not my cup of tea. Electronic shifting is about as far as I will go for now. Unless i'm hit with a huge health issue and down for years and want to get back into the sport, then I will consider an e-bike.

Lou Ferguson to stay on Intense for 2 more years.

I don't really have the first idea how this stuff works but I'd kind of assumed that YT would restructure their finances and then pretty much carry on as normal .But maybe the race team is having to be sacrificed to save the company, that set up must be a fairly big outlay when cash is at a minimum. Wyn was also making an interesting point about rock shox and Shimano sponsoring the series next year and how that effectively makes the pot for the teams smaller when their looking for sponsorship. Seems a pretty fair point to me...

No way!

Oisin was joking in Theo’s vid that they need to make prize money to continue racing

Just listening to the OTB podcast . Rumor from them is that the YT truck got repossessed and the team won't have the funds to make the north American rounds . Pretty rubbish situation all round .
