If I had to guess, I bet Rocky is somewhat psyched for Melamed and encouraged him to go make some good money for a few years that they currently aren’t in a position to match. They probably also told him that when he decides to take a step back from racing to come back and they would try to find some role for him again at Rocky. All good things come to an end and I suspect no bridges were burned here. I bet he is going to love the Rock Shox suspension.

Oh I didn’t know that. I know Joe Smith still rides one. He got 2nd or 3rd at Hardline on it last year.

Pierron - Drappela - Coulanges

Annnnnd the Syndicate just crapped their pants....

Possibly the fastest team? Bruni, Finn, Jordan. 🤯

What about Evil?

Here's my completely made up Sam Hill rumour. Nukeproof factory will return to DH racing with Adam Brayton and Sam Hill (and others? maybe Mike Jones? He previously rode for the CRC team, and is now a Nukeproof supported privateer). Hill will compete in select events in enduro and DH.

Yep, it’s pretty common knowledge that Will Longden is ‘difficult’ to work with. There has been numerous near punch ups in their setup over the years.

Was Bernard Kerr's recent whirlwind trip to Greece to sign a certain expat Brit rider whose main bike sponsor just paused their racing program for 2023? Or is he just really into Souvlaki?

VitalMTB to buy Outside magazine and to put sub-par mtb news on pinkbike

Does more world championships mean a shit ton more money for UCI? Do we need a gravel WC? A pump track ? What’s next? Strider, snow bike? All this but still no Dual Slalom which is probably the most TV ready bike event EVER.

11: Thow shalt never paint a titanium frame.

Cam contract might pivot swiftly.

With the history Max has, I can imagine any rider would want to sit down and chat with him. He's been the low key coach of the starting line for 27+ years. Did he even race before? From the Sunn team in the 90's with Nico, ACC and CG, the first commencal moments with the Athertons to the current line up of 3+ teams of podium contenders, Max is likely responsible for more world cup podiums and titles than any other one person in mtb history. I'd want to chat with him as well! Where's Pierron's contract at? He's top...

Bro I was around it in the 90's/early 2000's, You wanted outside sponsors? Holy shit companies were literally throwing money at teams. The sports identity wasn't what I would call professional at all lol. It's just swings and roundabouts, back then MTB was the coolest thing since Kriss Kross and Baggy Jean shorts. What a time to be alive. Our time will come again.

Why do you want the sport to be more professional? Having a bunch of crazy people slamming beers and holding chainsaws and airhorns WFO inches from the track is badass. If you want professional go to a tennis match.

Do you remember when there were events in RSA / AUS / NZL ? Pepperidge farm remembers

When will the UCI realise there whole Southern Hemisphere down here ready to Kick the season off at the end of our summer

Anyone else look fondly back at those halcyon days when it was possible to express an opinion without being classed as a hater?

Let's go Brandon is the dumbest work around I have ever heard. If you want to say something just say it, don't act like some grade 3 kid scared to swear in front of their grand parents. Also, saying you'd shoot some one with a 9mm on the internet over your opinion pretty much sums up that you probably shouldn't own a gun and have a problem.
