I'm guessing the audio cutting out on BK's video as he hits that drop is no mistake.

Young and old , SENDING it together! That's what we wanna see.

Sam Hill on track, what a legend! We're so stoked to see him get amongst it here (looking as casual as ever, too)!

for anyone that didn't get to read it in time, it basically says this Candian bike shop, Dunbar, is providing financial support to get the Forbidden team to the World Cups, after the Forbidden CEO reached out to them and said they were struggling. So the team is basically the same as Forbidden Synthesis, same sponsors and everything, but Dunbar is helping them to afford their spot at the World Cups, like travel and race entries; funding their season.

It should be simple..WBD is TRYING to make DH would cup like F1. BUT they won't say that. If your team is on top of points, Your welcome. If your team is close to that then have a go at it and let's see how we feel. IF your team is one of interest to WBD to bring views your in too as a wildcard. I don't agree with it but what they are missing is how many of us are willing to pay for the kid in jeans showing up and going top 30. It SUCKS but it is...

Long post that was intended to be a short post but then I got to picking it apart and teasing it out further. Sorry! I'm not conviced "should" is a word in the UCI/WBD vocabulary. A quick reframing of the whole idea (that I don't necessarily agree with but I could see as being completely within the scope of how the UCI could be looking at it): Is Gwin any less retired than Minnaar? Who raced more last year and who seems to be more publicly active in DH right now? How about Richie Rude? RR used to ride downhill...

Check out Poirot over here! Fine detective work sir. It's not like we haven't been talking about it for the last 10 pages.

I saw it's not the same as before (obviously, as they need another pivot point). When I say the same I meant along the lines of 'let's change as little as possible because we know this works' as opposed to using the exact same parts. Changing as little as possible when it comes to the "bottom" part of it, so where the gearbox, shock and the mounting points for it (front triangle mount and rocker location) and the headtube are. It's quite likely the pivot points were moved around compared to the single point variant too. Might not change much...

investors? Possibly you! BOATS & HO's

Adidas, are you insane? The reason FiveTen is so big in MTB is because of Sam Hill. He literally made you in this industry. It’s insane they wouldn’t support him for the rest of his career. As for SRAM, I mean come on. How much has Sam given you in the exposure and advertising? One of the greatest riders ever to race, and in multiple areas of MTB. Both these brands should be ashamed.

Until the end of time, I will watch any video or click any link that says "Sam Hill"

You sound very unbiased

For those playing along at home, here’s where we stand with the most ridiculous rumors so far… #3 - Phoebe Gale off FMD, going to Reece Wilson’s new AON team, after being prominently featured in the Orbea FMD press release. #2 - Aaron Gwin back to mentor the kids on lower budget Trek Factory after becoming a partner in Crestline bikes last year. #1 - Old man Dan Atherton returning to stomp $$$ DH podiums on a prototype belt drive after his most recent 57th at a 2018 Crankworx stop. There’s a few others close to the top 3, but...

If you think a World Cup team like FMD are going to risk an entire season on some old prototype frames from canyon or specialized you have been smoking that crack again.
