It's worth noting the 'Q2 replay' is not a replay... It's an edited/produced highlights video. And I think that's the direction they wanna pursue, which makes sense given how lackluster direct replays of their runs with normal commentary are. Better to allow them time to chop it up a bit better, add in some excitement if possible to compensate for rics play by play. And deliver a superior product in the end. If anything it's what they should be doing. That was the bread and butter of red bulls youtube presence in DH racing. The highlight edits they made. Like...

I'm not seeing the Q2 replay up there yet. Hopefully they put it up. I had a quick look and the Q2 replays from both Poland and Leogang are by far the most watched vids on their channel from racing so far this year.

Hate to keep bringing this up, but Pivot team once again with no riders in finals. That’s a lot of money to keep missing. I get that BK is hurt and would most likely be in them if he was racing, but damn that sucks. Gutted to see Danny Hart not making it, really pulling for that Norco team to do well.

Agree with this. I think WBD is going to need to really consider a live broadcast of qualifying (especially Q2). It's been fun this year and today's Q2 times show how much everyone is laying it on the line. This could be a value add for the big teams because they will get 1.5 -2X exposure with quali and finals with people paying attention.

Did anyone have Bilstein entering mtb suspension on their Bingo card?

Maybe Manitou will finally launch a coil shock but it's not yet ready hence the frame sock.

Aon Racing back on a covered up gamux???? from latest vital raw

gracey's norco has a new rear end. 1kg lighter than alloy

She's a looker!

I'm getting the new VTX in for testing shortly on my Megatower. Currently on the Vorsprung Telum. Excited to compare both against my stock SDLX Ultimate with HBO, which is a great shock in its own right.

Maybe I missed it on here: did anyone catch the spec announcement that MY26 Stumpjumpers will now be sold as stumpjumper evos with a 160 mm fork and piggies back genie shock? If nothing else it seems like an interesting branding move so close to the release of the 15

What do you expect us to do? Lube our $100 chain like some sort of poor person?

I wouldn't tell people I'd won the lottery, but there'd be signs.

Of course this is a completely over the top product for deep-pocketed enthusiasts only, nobody claims any different. It's way better looking than the Trust though, which was said to have some quirks in the way it worked as well.

The difference? Intend doesn't rely on selling these to keep the lights on. It's clearly not for you buddy.

Not bragging, but I just pre ordered the shock and fork. I've been eyeing Intend fork and shock for some time now. Having ran Push for the last 1.5 years, I am truly a fan of a good damper and know that some of this stuff is bonkers expensive, but its also ease of use and maintenance that is key. The fact that you can service a Push 9.1 fork and these Intend forks yourself with basic tools and they use off-the-shelf lubricants and seals makes it a bit more palatable. But nothing will escape the fact that this is...

Damn, what a race for the young Canadians. Lots of action, looked like a super fast track. Funny having the highlights without commentary, I really didn't mind though. And the chain skip in the start hut was premium advertising for Gates .

If you’re gonna adamantly kick the very very first rider for being a minute late, you’d better not tell a guy he can start twice. It’s okay to not know what you’re doing, but you have to own it. Someone deserves an apology but I have no faith anyone will cop to screwing up. I could not believe the starting wand being a story again. Ridiculous. you come in spouting about how pro you’re gonna make it yet you have nothing to say about badgebros on track, ambiguous course markings, and how starting works? Maaaaaaaaaate

Glad they are showing 30 seconds of the bike and start gate and zero seconds of the run halfway through the women’s.
