You know something's really overcomplicated when even the Germans are trying to quietly forget about it

The real answer: anger. The reason they go so much faster can sometimes be heard right after it occurs... Usually with a quite loud "FUCK!" (that said, I don't condone finding ways to get angry before every race run... this is not mental health advice from a licensed professional)

no reason this couldn't be applied to amateur racing in the future.

Love this format so much. I wish things like this were readily available for amateur races. Seems like all local races are XC, enduro, or maybe DH. But as someone with a trials/BMX background, I want to make a fool of myself on climbs, slalom, supercross jump lines, switchbacks, etc.

I just want to say I completely disagree with every single point. A simple down vote wasn't enough. Just because you can't fathom what drives others, doesn't give you the right to demean them.

As one who had a 'career' in freeride and spent that career working to get into Rampage, I have a lot to say about Rampage, its evolution, and its current state. I will try to keep it short. The professionalization of Rampage over the last 25 years has made for a better event. Riders and builders are better paid. It has resulted in more coverage, more reward, and the ability to build a professional career around the event. Is it perfect? No. But it is pretty darn good. Is there room for improvement? Yes. Has it gotten safer for athletes...

I don't even like playing the "Who has a 148 rear wheel I can borrow [with my preferred freehub interface and/or a cassette of similar size and # of speeds that's compatible with my chain]?" game. I don't think I would like the 157mm SuperBoost version of that game.

I have fought off having superboost rear wheels in my fleet for many years. My wife fell in love with a pivot recently and got herself one. It has ruined the zen status of all wheels/hubs fitting all bikes in my garage. It is as bad, if not worse then the dystopian axle future I imagined that had me avoiding pivot bikes for nearly a decade now. superboost sucks... after having a superboost bike forced on me, I can safely say, I will never own a superboost bike.

Respectfully, it's more accurate to say " Pro tip, your super enduro will absolutely be acceptable for DH trails." No matter how good long travel single crown bikes are these days, there's still no replacement for displacement.

Showing up to a federal land agency meeting with heat maps printed discussing decommission was an eye opening experience. It’s a great tool for them to identify and remove any trail that was a significant amount of time to build. Your 2 minutes of enjoyment likely was 100 hours of work or more. And it just put a bullseye on the trail when you published your ride. You can remove sharing heat maps on your settings, not make rides public and hide your maps. Or just not strava those trails.

The holes let oil up to the upper bushing… those are already on current 38 boxxer. Someone patented the channel around the bushings. I’m sure fatigue is been calculated and tested. RS didn’t mess around with fatigue. Also curious how they’re making the dimples.

An extra 1-2#'s of CF reinforcement on a DH bike just makes sense.

It is my opinion that 3% "added" friction because fork misalignment is probably negligible because 3% is. Let's be honest, in a dynamic ride situation, the various level of twisting and buckling forces applied to a fork is going to misalign it. You referenced fox's floating air piston and the whole goal of reducing friction in an air spring; stating how somehow that goal is diminished due to fork misalignment, and I strongly disagree. As I mentioned before (somewhere on vital), air springs are particularly vulnerable to added friction issue due to the issue of needing to seal air AND...

That was actually a really good article - well done Jessie for taking that step, I wish there was more of this from media sites I would roughly guess the friction from bushings and the air spring are 50/50 - there is potentially a ton of bushing friction under high loads/bending, and the air spring has a big impact on smaller, high frequency movements. I believe there is a lot more bending on the air shaft than you would think - my theory on buttercups has always been that they do more for allowing the air shaft to stay properly...
