You might have "corporate apologist" and those who "understand how a market works" confused. Just an observation.

'why aren't the pros getting paid' Sponsorship is usally done on the bounds of Selling a Product, if a Rider is only worth 20k a year, that means the company thinks he sells X amount of bikes etc so they think that advertising is worth 20k. sponsorship is mostly advertising. Lets say Emil, Who Rides for trek - sells 50 bikes... lets say at 1500 profit and he Gets 26%( i doubt emil sells 50 bikes for trek a year.) 26% of sale profit is a HUUUUGE amount. Point being... Basically nobody will rush out an buy a trek because...

I think what bothers me about all of this 4-bar/6-bar conversation is that it feels like mountain bikers have decided on a series of terminology, ignoring the fact that there's ~100 years of precedence in linkage design. People use linkages to do all sorts of things. There's very specific terminology around them. For the most part, that terminology (as far as I can tell) doesn't really change because of what you use as your output link. A horst link bike is a form of double rocker 4-bar link. It doesn't really cease to be a double rocker 4-bar link if...

For Gee's drop he would have hit the landing with 40mph of vertical velocity, which is pretty hefty. For anyone interested I assumed that he travelled 23m as it looks like he overshot by about 10 feet and it measured 20m in the Red Bull video, the angle of the drop from the video comes out as 36 degrees from vertical, so he's falling 18.6m, I included air resistance assuming the drag to be between 2 to 3 times that of a skydiver and with him and the bike weighing 100kg, this takes only 2 to 3 mph off his...

On the contrary, IMO, legs win races, not 200gram bike differences

Yeah that would make sense, i mean I'm sure they've thought about it. And who knows maybe you won't have to service it as often without dust/mud getting up in there.

The reaction of the videographer to some of his moves sounds about right.

It's World Cup DH race time again!! These polls are created from the UCI start lists for Andorra - Top 19 Men, Top 10 Women each with "other" option. Pure data, no favorites and Troy is listed : ) Myriam Nicole, Aaron Gwin are not racing due to injury and Greg Minnaar may ride practice but probably won't race, if you're not aware. Have fun. Make your prediction!

Ok, i think i know what's wrong. The computer and phone i use are both provided by my company, and the internet and admin stuff is somewhat restricted on them. My guess is that the iTunes plugin is being blocked, so i cant see that audio bar. The previous way on the slideshow worked fine though, so personally I would prefer it

Actually i may not have been using it correctly; do you have to go to the podcast channel to get the interviews, or is there other options as well? To answer your question: Windows PC, and Samsung Android.
