1 day ago I called this out back when they did it at Queenstown as well. This is the spirit of MTB. Alex Blanar (and others) know how to have a good time.

Much love! I'm just stoked to be part of a brand (Vital) that I grew up being such a fan of. We might be small, but I love what we stand for and everyone out there who connects with it.

7/1/2026 9:45am Probably should go in the general race thread but I like Chris from DT’s idea about drop order for finals: 1st seed drops last as always. However, the top 3-5 in the overall (assuming they make finals) 2nd-6th to last. This would first, hopefully make it so some of the faster racers are always toward the end instead of having...

6/21/2026 10:56am Second the Dirt Roamer. My son and I both use them. I found one off Poshmark fairly cheap and another one a closeout sale. They’re pretty great.

6/15/2026 12:36pm On the DT post-race show, they all seemed to indicate that was a HUGE dilemma most teams were facing. It sounds like most opted for intermediates at least with quite a few still opting for cut spikes.

6/15/2026 6:31am Dak has implied repeatedly over the years that he needs time to develop on a bike then consistency on his setup once he gets it there in order to perform at his best. He’s also said that he didn’t have a great offseason. I’m cheering as hard as anyone for him and keep hoping to see him slot it into...

6/9/2026 7:36am RE: USAC Enduro Champs. Great to see Colton on the top step. Dude's had a hell of a ride over the last year or so dealing with health issues. From his post on Instagram: It’s been a really rough year of this injury. I don’t even know how to explain how hard it’s been. Lost about all my sponsors besides...

6/1/2026 10:02am Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that "Flight attendant" was constantly talked about. And I don't know... it seems like to me the other commentator has almost given up on the job. He would, occasionally, have something insightful to start offering, only to have Ric interrupt him to say something pointless. Maybe that's just robbed him of any...

5/29/2026 8:59am I've noticed that Frameworks (Asa specifically) don't seem to participate in Timed Training. Anyone have any insight? Is this strategic on their part? Do they feel like they have their own timing system (maybe via GoPro) that they use to gauge how their riders are going against other riders? They just don't want to know? For at least the last...

5/17/2026 6:25am 2030 for World Champs with, I believe, expectation for a race there in 2029 as well as a "test" event.

5/12/2026 5:46am It’s kind of the opposite of the GoPro effect in making things seem even steeper and narrower though I know that terrain IS steep.

5/11/2026 10:25am Maybe this has been covered, but Spesh made huge drops in e-bike prices. In listening to the JRA podcast this morning, one of the hosts who works for a large SLC specialized dealer said it would be better if he didn't talk too much about how this is screwing over Spesh dealers. Assuming that Specialized just did the price drop...

5/9/2026 9:06am I recently listened to the episode, and I think he was talking about the Trans Tasmania race that he and Jack did. It was a “traditional” format Trans race (multi day, multi location, “blind” individual stage racing) but since they seemed to be doing it probably for an appearance fee and not actually racing, they did a bunch of followcam...

5/7/2026 11:25am Hell yeah. I said it after watching Jack and Charlie's followcams of the Trans Tazzy race, but I think a team race like Cape Epic (somehow timed to encourage proper followcam) with followcam footage would make for a pretty awesome race format. I thought that Martin Whiteley (or someone I heard on a podcast once) was pushing for an enduro...

5/6/2026 7:36am From the DT recap, evidently the issue was that it was: A blind landing A long run-in to the jump with the blind landing without any course marshalls along that stretch, so no warning whistles of approaching riders The B-line rejoined the track in the blind landing. Take a combination of any 2 out of those 3 factors, and it's...

Ah ok, I thought it was the big jump. I stand corrected.

5/5/2026 5:05pm I can’t remember if it was Charlie Cs wet track did video or somewhere else, but evidently WYN’s crash was on a jump further down the track. Downtime post race with Neko and company indicated the same. I thought it was the big jump everyone was casing as well this whole time, but I guess it’s further down.

5/1/2026 8:34pm One of the podcasts, I believe Downtime, said that. I assumed it was a 2 year and was a little surprised to hear 3.

There's two things in my opinion: The design of the B line for that jump joins back up in the landing of the jump. The B line should continue further along the course, maybe to the next corner. Hard to tell from the video, but it looks like that would've been possible. HT guy is a cool story and all, but at the World Cup level I don't think the novelty bike should be a thing. I'm sure he's fast as fuck, but he'd certainly be faster and more competitive on a full sus. But he somehow navigated the red...
