The Chances of Daprela ending up at pivot whilst Siegenthaler is still involved is 0 - not to go back to shite talking about rumours but she was maybe the strongest hater of daprela when all “that” info came out

That's a great point. We've had dealers in Northwest Arkansas twice for GT bikes. When my son was riding one, though, there weren't any dealers. It was always an awkward conversation with people. "So how do you like your GT?" "It's sick! Great bike." "Cool... I've been thinking of buying one. Where can I get one?" "Uhhh....online... maybe check Jenson?"

There have been pretty strong rumors that he's moving to YT, even though he's not technically finished his Atherton contract.

I would imagine they're trying to paint a hopeful picture for the future because that's much better than saying, "Yeah, we're going to shit and will be a second rate big box brand from here on out, because that's what PON decided." (I'm not saying that's where the brand is actually headed, but just pointing out that Polyanna, hopeful messaging...

Heartbreaking news on GT. My son's first bike hookup and "support" was from GT. They are such a tight-knit crew (the actual people that work there). Steve Spencer (Coach), who Phil mentions, is one of the most beloved and well-liked people in the bike scene by anyone who has ever met him. Just a fantastic person and a genuinely caring...
For myself: 1) Get coaching sooner 2) Spend more time sessioning and practicing and less time just riding miles of trail. More interesting would be for myself as a parent of a mountain biker (the only thing I'd probably change): 1) Get the kid on a bmx at a racetrack, pumptrack or skatepark ASAP and start them there at an...

Awesome! Kallie's got a bright future. Talented rider with good family support behind her (they do some serious travel and living on the road to make races, from what I've seen).

Payson’s podcast is great for sure. The post race rider testimonials almost always have at least one segment that gives me chills or brings tears to my eyes as common folks retell their race day experiences both good and bad.

I haven’t been able to dig into the article, yet. I’d be curious if it includes a meta analysis that might detect trends in the factors around the incidents. Types of trails, experience level of riders, type of protection in use or not present, etc.. If we are going to try to mitigate risks, it would be helpful to understand...

Feeding Off Each Other was great. They just posted their last episode as they shutter it indefinitely. Jason is leaving IFHT from what I understand.

What it implies, though, is that the series is USAC/UCI sanctioned and closer to being a true “feeder” series for DHI. It does, though, leave enduro in the same shitty position.

USAC just announced all dates and venues for every discipline except gravity on Instagram. Which, of course, was no surprise but still annoyed me. However, in the comments, they said that they’ll be working with the Monster Pro DH series to host gravity Nats. Then they basically allude to Monster Pro DH being the ones who will be running gravity...

Trail Aeffect (or is it EAffect) with Josh Blum. Interviews trail builders and advocates. Really great content. Just Riding Along: barely even a mountain biking podcast anymore, as the hosts have all gotten into hinting, moto, e-moto, and other pursuits. But it’s still entertaining, and they usually do an industry news and Q&A session. If you like listening to cynical...

Evidently all racers took two runs and were ranked on combined times for both runs. Is this the normal format or the result of such a short track?

Sorry! When I said "pretty good one," I just meant that it's got some jankier rock and tech parts unlike Fireline which is literally a clay-clapped flow trail for its entire length. I will be kind of curious if they alter the track at all by maybe connecting it to a different trail or maybe cutting in some new stuff...
