This is Red Bull not UCI. it's about drama and views. Red Bull isn't sanctioned. Like the X-Games it's a mix of WWE and a real contest. That's why Hardline will never be a real sanctioned series. It's just for show.

Off on sick Mick leave?

Underrated comment

What is happening with Pivot & BK then ? They are the last one without official annoncement right ? Keep it racing rumors please - we do not care about private life !

Thank you for posting this. Too many people are using a racing rumors thread to talk crap on Kerr. It's also pretty sexist and BS that people are talking crap on Jenna when she works incredibly hard at her craft and has the speed. Can we move on from this please?

Jenna won as many races as Jake Jewett last year. ...and she won the Women's Elite New Zealand Continental Series race this last weekend beating Sascha Earnest who by many accounts is a podium threat for this upcoming women's World Cup season. It's fun to pretend she's only around because her and BK are together, but I think a tough couple seasons for injuries made us forget that she's actually pretty fast and was a Junior World Champ.

Congrats to Bailey Goldstone on 3rd this weekend at NZ DH national series round 2. From what I understand from the new rules, because this race was part of the UCI continental series and in the top 5, she gets a entry into a WC race. Does she get to pick which race she enters or does the UCI assign her a race? If she gets to pick, which venue does she pick? Good to see the CDN on the podium 😎

I’ll repeat my previous comment , congratulations to Bailey Goldstone on 3rd place this weekend, great to see a CDN on the podium

Just giving a shout out to the moderators here. That guy……

I thought for a minute I was imagining that he was posting, deleting, posting, deleting, ad nauseam the same post. Trisquelo is a great argument for why we need to have concussion protocols and good helmets. Daprela burner account?

For fucks sake Trisquelo, give it a rest man.

To be held on our "West Island" I think. 🤣

I was just going to say, what if that’s where fmd ends up. Would be pretty sick!

A bazzillion to one odds, but I'd love to see/laugh my ass off, if the Seagraves ended up on Zerode's chasing the $100k prize.

Your local bike mechanic doesn’t make enough money to enter a bike race, let alone buy a bicycle. The stock market isn’t the economy. The vast majority of americans are living one paycheck away from homelessness, in constant fear of medical debt, with less purchasing power every week due to the financialzation of the economy, stock buy-backs and sheer unregulated greed. Ymmv, of course.

I would say that most American's think the economy is bad because the top 1% make all the profit while they struggle to make ends meet on crappy wages. Half the US households don't have a 401k.

To be fair there's been talk of them folding for years.

Self promotion here, but we’ve just dropped a new episode with Ellie Hulsebosch on her joining the Syndicate, plus plenty of other topics! She’s super determined and clearly fast as hell, can’t wait to see what the future holds Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5bTHO9PK95SOSQV6Rt3NhK?si=SmvfFKdGRHu9… Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-otb-podcast/id1614212374?i=10… YouTube: https://youtu.be/qmHW09wEW5U?si=Zh67ponhKK5cawwD

Thanks for the kind words. Sincerely appreciated. I also wanted to thank everyone who has taken time to particpate in this thread. In a world full of internet dumpster fires, trolling, dunking and devolving online discussions, at minimum I've found the willingness of the collective to have a meaningful, fun, civil discussion to be worthwhile in and of itself, regardless of how right or wrong we all may be. I don't know much, but I know the more this happens, the better off it appears we all are. HNY everyone! Cheers and thanks!

Marin use a much smaller factory in Asia, it's lower production capacity and shorter production run's actually give Marin an edge as more flexible in changing the orders. The down side is this also causes Marin's occasional "We've run out.... SORRY!" and more limited availability of hot stock lines for the international distributors.
