The best racing I've seen in ages is to be found in Jimbo Munro (and others) instagram stories. A bunch of the NZ expat summer crew (Jimbo, Alex Blanar, Finn Smith, etc..) threw together a homegrown "four cross" race on some raw tracks in NZ. So freaking sick. Sorry if you don't have instagram. Hopefully someone puts together a youtube...

Stoked they signed Fairbrother. If you haven’t followed his epic adventures, it’s worth a look!

On another board I'm on (football message board) there's a thread on the Winter Olympics. The response to the various sports on there is pretty telling on WBD's efforts to increase viewership of downhill. By and large, people are talking about how watching the various single-athlete on track competitions is somewhat boring. On the other hand, they, by and large...

I saw some video where the wet dirt was just caking up on the feet of people. I'm pretty familiar with that kind of dirt/clay. The only way they could make the bottom part of that track rideable in the wet would be to not have those huge clay-capped jumps which... wouldn't really be hardline. Throwing some gravel into the...

I wonder (and I'm just thinking out loud) if there is a chance that two wildly different places in the world might have different soil conditions that are affected by weather differently?

I agree that it can sometimes be more complex, which would require a conversation. I've had the same experience with the service writing platform on vehicles where a followup phone call is required... but at least I went into the phone call with some forewarning and understanding of the issues and what I was looking at prior to just having...

Sort of off topic, but something I’ve been pondering: Has anyone developed a good service writing platform similar to what a lot of car mechanics in the US are using now that basically texts you a link to all the different issues they’ve found, item by item, with recommended next steps and costs. Then you just approve each line item...

Just cause their president is doing things I don’t understand or agree with doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate an American team doing great stuff within their respective sport and industry. Plus who doesn’t love a bit of Springsteen

Gotcha. I’d been predicting the Intense thing as well, as it made total sense for the reasons you outlined, so I was surprised when someone told me he was going elsewhere. I kind of thought that HSC (with Clay’s son Zach, Ryder, and Sully Notaro) would just switch over to Intense as a frame sponsor and keep the same roster...

Is that confirmed? He was on Intense previously, then was on the YT-sponsored HSC racing last year. I had thought he would end up on Intense again this year, but I've been told that isn't the case, and he has a different frame sponsor (not yet announced).

According to Instagram, he was recently in Milan with a very attractive model type. No clue about his team, though.

Personally I find Dakotah a heck of a lot easier to relate to than someone like Jackson. Just a hard working dude from a similar part of the same country as me, also with questionable hair styles, that has overcome some adversity and doesn't mind getting his hands dirty at home. Nothing against Jackson, but his story is so far out of my realm that its just... not very interesting.
