Hey, don't give Discovery and the UCI any ideas!

velosolutions? so asphalt paved DH track? I KID, I KID! stoked to see the progression.

The grooming part is what I was worried about too and kind of hopped was not true. I have come to like BK as a rider and what we see but that would make it hard to look at him the same way. That is just creepy.

They’ve been posting pictures on instagram story where they’re holding hands and constant use of heart emojis, looks like they are dating for sure. BK took her in as an employee when she was 17 years old and he was 30, thats kinda child grooming territory.

Privateer's put in more effort to racing than Dean. Dean hasn't raced a race outside the World Cup (where he has only quallied for the semi's twice) all season, thus no UCI points. Other racers not on teams have raced ISX, Crankworx and national rounds in Europe to get the points required to race. Many are taking the fact they are on a team for granted and will be in for a rude shock if they are dropped or cant pick up a ride in 2024 and wont be able to race a world cup. With more than one likely...

Dh may be the f1 of mountain biking. But it’s the professional disc golf of racing sports. Unless you mountain bike almost nobody cares and the percentage of mtbers that watch World Cup dh is slim. Now that doesn’t take away how amazing it is and how hard these athletes and teams work to take part. But to think the sport is suddenly going to become popular by cutting the field and participants is just frankly stupid thinking.

Look at what's just happened with Dylan Maples. Stories like this will become a thing of the past. That is not good for the sport. If ESO want to cut the finals to 30 riders, shouldn't they also be promoting ways for riders to break into that top 30? At the moment from what I can tell there are no proposals for a feeder series, I haven't seen a single thing about who would run it or how it would work.

Really hope they offer it in S6 or XXL but I won’t hold my breath

I'm guessing it's because it's an ebike. But it's an ebike that used to have cable tourism and they've addressed the issue. That's a win in my book.

Looks like a WTB verdict

Solid find, first post, and welcome. Definitely a good looking tire for loose conditions

I actually created an account just to post this. Santa Cruz syndicate tent at Les Gets last weekend.

2024 Instinct/Altitude seems to look like a Santa Cruz clone

I remember seeing or hearing something about this tire earlier this year. Basically a shorty with more supportive cornering knobs and maybe slightly shorter center tread. Anyone that’s run a shorty knows how unpredictable they can get in big compressions when cornering.

I just put a set of 11sp XT linkglide shifter ,derailleur and cassette on my enduro bike. the shifting is unreal. Never felt shifting so precise and crisp (I have only used shimano's XT/XTR).. I tried for science using conventional shimano 11sp cassette, did not work... I knew shifter/derailleur work on a different pull, but the cassette is also part of the magic. anyway, just a heads up in the era of "transmission" ; )

The aforementioned knolly up top. Looks a bit less ugly.

Marketing is a hell of a drug.

Greg will semi-retire and start a new team bringing Honda and Showa back.

What edr needs most is to return to being a destination series with a focus on quality trails, experience, and a serious fitness requirement that served a purpose at the more remote rounds. It’s fine if a couple venues are regulars and a couple a year are at bike parks but what drew riders, media, and fans a like was that it was this pinnacle version of the sport to aspire too. they just keep dumbing it down into something nobody is interested in. And attaching these events to dh is severely limiting their ability to draw riders, have quality...

Let's all hope that the GOAT of Downhill can afford to retire comfortably after all these years of being at the sharp end of the sport.
