Wasn't brook the one on his knees, begging ms mondraker to take him back after his gt detour?

I am not getting this hate, especially from us, who are obviously outside the racing field. It is impossible to judge what a good bike is and what not and especially what a good bike COULD be. How could we, with pretty much no inside knowledge, know that? Just by sheer assumption? Assumptions without solid information are most of the times logical errors. Having success takes a whole lot of ingredients, especially in something like DH racing. I guess sometimes being in the zone and fully motivated could mean more than having a ”good” bike, whatever that may be. Related...

They exist for the same reason as through headset routing and wireless controls - clean looks. And it looks more premium, is more expensive (so more better), lighter, etc. But a lot less practical.

This is such a good question, and I would add to it: Does anyone actually think this looks better? Because the integrated stem LOOKS SO WEIRD to my eyes. It looks like the monster from The Goonies. [Edit: A friend pointed out to me that "The Goonies didn’t have a monster. It had Sloth, who was a normal person who was severely beaten when he was a child. It’s really sad actually." Agreed. You could say the real monster in the Goonies is inside of the people, and everyone has the choice to be brave or become a monster. I...

As someone who works for a brand that sponsors numerous WC teams, this is supremely disappointing.

At the risk of exposing myself as the Luddite I am, how exactly do you watch this? They’ve made this as confusing as possible. You need a Max subscription, then the B/R add-on? Which maybe is included? Or maybe Max is included with B/R? I don’t watch any tv or have any subscriptions except the GCN subscription I had last year. I actually don’t mind paying $10 or $20 a month as I like to watch races while riding the trainer/rollers, so more racing means I’d spend more time training. And I reckon most of us would be down to...

I pay a whopping $2 a month to watch motorcross and supercross on Peacock. I'd do that for DH, but no more (especially with Rick and Cedric). Tiz-Cycling streamed all the WC DH finals last year. Sometimes the feed would get cut, but then a new one would pop up. I saw every final and paid zero $ to do so. I bet it will be out there again for free you'll just have to dig for it. We need a dedicated thread for that.....

Its truly remarkable how much they are fucking up bike racing. I really wanted this to go well, and I had a pretty good amount of faith that Chris Ball was going to do a good job because of how cool the early enduro years were, but this is totally unacceptable. There are so many negatives coming with the new organization that I could see the riders striking. If I was a sponsor of World Cup racing, I'd be getting really worried thinking about how much the viewership is going to shrink with these changes. I want eyeballs on my...

That just freed up 7 Saturday mornings to ride bikes

should we place bets on disco seeing the poor viewership and sub #'s after ft bill and then saying, "yeah, it's not worth paying to broadcast these anymore." cost/view has to be astronomical. (sorry for the dark outlook...sort of).

Final nail in the coffin ⚰️ and shout out to everyone that used to complain when Redbull was running the show…. for free!

so b/r add-on is free until feb 24, then "starting" at $9.99. like dolface and others, i was fine to pay for gcn, a dedicated cycling app with a decent price, but not $20/mo for a bunch of other stuff. if i was a brand/sponsor of a world cup DH team, i'd be bummed. there is no way race program viewership will be worthwhile thanks to this change. let's hope juniors are still free on youtube (not holding breath for that either).

So minimum is $20/month WITH ads? WTF.

Clearly his helmet is to protect the earth from his head when he crashes.

He's clearly walked it off enough

Yes, Bryn only rides OG High Rollers...from a particular batch produced in 2016, aged in a temperature and humidity controlled cellar, and pre-conditioned with extra virgin olive oil prior to riding.

Says Yeti on his left thigh

Vital member BGoldstone is not Bailey. But back to rumors...

Ron, just curious because obviously your his dad and know him better than everyone here, but I'm interested on the reasoning that you're disagreeing he's not manicured compared to others. Front the outside, I've been watching Jackson since he was on a run bike. I've high fived him in the whistler lift line when he wasn't even chest high to me, which at 5' 8", is not that tall. Starting riding and being into the sport as consistently as he has from a young age and being in the area that arguably has the best riding per KM in the...

Because it's chinese? Hate to break it to you, but when it comes to road stuff, carbon wheels and mechanical drivetrain groups from China appear to be pummeling western products into the ground. I don't think it's a good idea to wholly dismiss overseas stuff and development...
