Chris at Downtime continues to have our backs. His most recent post does a great job of summarizing how this plays out in the overall picture, complete with visuals showing position changes who is most affected.

I watched the entire men's race yesterday. It was pretty fantastic. I hate to say it, because I love DH soooo much more than XC on a personal level, but XC is a more natural, and (please don't hate me) better, television product than DH. As for the race itself, I was really hoping to see Bjorn Riley push to...

If you haven’t listened to the downtime with Shawn, it’s really great. I’m very impressed with the entrepreneurial mindset that they’re approaching the series (in some ways it’s a test case for the true potential money maker of their app and race coverage). Hope that collegeiate schedule coordinates a little better with them next year, as the Durango MSC race...

I was so confused looking for him in the live timing and then couldn’t find him forever on the quali list until I finally scrolled to bottom and saw DSQ. Since he’d finished originally with a time, I guess it was a DSQ after review.
I went down a Jasper Penton wormhole one day while bored... I won't speculate on any legal issues, but there were quite a few folks in England claiming that he still rides regularly at their locals and just doesn't care about the social media and "professional" side of it anymore. This was deep in the comments section of some video...

I've been 5 times, I believe. The facility and infrastructure is all super impressive and appealing. The trails are also really good for the most part, especially if you like jumping. If you're someone who is trying to get better and progress as jumping, then it's absolutely great, as there is a pretty steady progression from small to very large...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
