Theo has done it again

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 edit of the action, but it's absolutely bonkers and looks like a ton of fun. Here's Jimbo's account.

Rumors are all done..but Max Alran has moved from Oakley to 100% goggles. Meaning he's the only rider on that team not on Oakley I think? Bigger question is when are the Alran's getting energy drink helmets 😂. One green one blue and silver?

Well this thread has run its course

I mean there's no elite/juniors distinction at Hardline and he straight up won in Wales.

The main thing I've learned from this cancellation is that whether it's your local organiser, the UCI, WBD or Red Bull who cancel a race. Some fans will lose their sh"t no matter what. And the most entitled will be the most vocal. Lucky you guys ain't alpine ski fans. Cos weather cancels those races almost weekly sometimes 🤣😂

Hands down, my favourite podcast series of the year. lol

Hot tub Time Machine is back

I’m sure I’m not the only one who’d pitch in to get Lawlor credentialed at each round and make life easier for your budget. $100 on offer.

idk ridemonkey users managed to scrape together about that much to buy itself out before their former corporate overlords were gonna pull the plug. i for one would pony up that amount, for me at least it's a far easier sell knowing my money would go to a proper mtb business rather than some international media conglomerate

One of the cooler things I’ve seen at a World Cup is Sven giving tips to one of those “locals” who clearly looked up to him. Even told him something like I’ll keep my eye out for ya at msa. I guess I just like the sport that’s encouraging folk to participate rather than talk about their credentials. As well as the sport where a racer could participate until they decided to quit or that success came. No I don’t think there’s 5 people at the top. But i do think 500 is a lot of money for some people...

Hi, long time WC media guy here (14 years long).. I'm also very curious to hear some names and facts about this from you But in the meantime let me share some of my own.

This hasnt changed since the...
