hogfly Added a reply to What Are Some Things You'd Like To Tell Your Beginner MTB Rider Self?
12/17/2024 12:21pm 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...

I don't think Windrock is on the pass system.

12/5/2024 8:40am 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).

12/3/2024 4:22am 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.
hogfly Added a reply to The Risk of Riding Mountain Bikes
11/26/2024 8:54am 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...

11/25/2024 11:47am Mueller’s interview on the Unclicked podcast shortly after Brad Simms went to Canyon was really good. Dude has stories upon stories.

11/25/2024 7:40am 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.

11/22/2024 12:14pm 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.
hogfly Added a reply to US Nationals 2025 venue?
11/22/2024 11:52am 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...

11/22/2024 11:50am 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...

11/21/2024 4:20am They announced Collegiafe Nats would be in Grand Junction, CO next year. Still no word on US Nats.

11/18/2024 7:37am 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?
hogfly Added a reply to 2024 Racing Talk
11/12/2024 11:42am 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...

11/12/2024 12:26pm It sounds like the Collegiate DH track will actually be Rock Solid instead of Fireline (judging from the suggested spectator map). Video of trail below (it's actually a pretty good trail with some jankier sections, but it has some pretty tough flat/uphill sections as well and still isn't a "real" DH race track by any means)

11/8/2024 3:31am MUTN podcast mentioned Giant and a relaunched Giant DH program. Not sure how that works, but they said something about him being back on a brand he had success with.

11/7/2024 11:52am In the Between the Numbers podcast, he also mentioned spreading them out evenly among the various practice groups to make it easier on mechanical support.

11/5/2024 1:33pm Sprinting at max speed on a trail with jumps intended for half that speed is optimal DH.
sspomer Liked a product review TESTED - Giant Faith 24 Mountain Bike for Kids
11/5/2024 9:42am
Parents of current and future mini mountain bikers are in a great place right now. The number of high-quality, youth-sized full-suspension mountain bikes is growing faster than the feet of the kids who pedal them. Earlier this year, Giant threw their hat into the ring with two Faith models equipped with either dual 24-inch wheels (tested) or a 27.5/26-inch mixed wheel configuration. Not only are the frame and wheel sizes fit for pint-sized punting, but suspension kinematics have been developed with lightweight riders in mind. They feature a new short-travel, adjustable dropper post and even wheelsets that are tuned for...
