The only Way I see is BK's Youtube channel but, Thats been lacking alot lately + the switch to insta360 has really downgraded the videos. Is PFR going to a miss WC spot and only be a wild card in 26?

I am the biggest Rampage fan. I attended my first one in person in 2003 and even helped dig Shandro’s second place line a little. I’ve been to multiple others since. I generally even think the judging has been correct every single year. I also don’t care that the lines are highly manicured now or that tricks (if done up high and off a substantial feature) score really well. Overall, I have very very few issues or bones to pick with Rampage. That said, they NEED to find a fresh brand new venue! Recycling old sites that have been used...

9/10/2025 8:34am Another vote for Lab Austere. They are sick packs with a ton of storage + a backprotector

I'm liking my Lab austere pack, I know weird name and it only comes in black but it works really well, has a magnetic hose clip for the bladder, comes with a spine protector (which I took out) but it looks and works really similarly to the USWE stuff and this is a small company out of Utah that makes them, I think its just one guy doing it and they are always on sale too. https://labaustere.com/collections/frontpage/products/yob-signature-rid…

I find it hard to root against Jackson for a bunch of reasons: 1. He's obviously a generational talent on a bike. 2. He looks like he has fun every time he gets on the bike, whether it's practice, in a race or at the local dirt jumps. 3. (Maybe the most important to me) He seems to be stoked for everyone. He placed 16th in Les Gets and is reposting Ronan's winning run. He's almost always at the finish line, waiting to congratulate his competitors. He might be one of best riders on a bike, but he hypes up...

Loic is a nice dude. Jackson is a nice kid. We’re generally lucky in this sport.

Nope, sorry but Jackson has been the people's champ since that balance bike video. He seems to be a nice, head screwed on kid. I'd take that over someone who calls him self "Super Bruni" any day of the week.

I'm pretty sure Rampage and Hardline are actual Red Bull events, along with the Cerro Abajo. Crankworx is its own entity with Redbull as a title sponsor. Hardline and Cerro Abajo seem to be picking up steam with each event, so probably no danger there. Rampage is a ratings juggernaut, just needing some fresh ground for a venue.

Anyone think 1199 doesn't feel as crazy progressive a race track as it was when it first raced than today, mostly because of tracks like La Thuile have really elevated the world cup circuit. That's not the best wording, but I think 1199 felt like a Hardline style race track, but other than the massive drop it has features we've seen on other tracks this year already. This isn't a negative, but more the fact that the tracks this year have really delivered.

Jackson is a generational talent, an unbelievable bike rider. But he is being helped by his Fox Speedsuit. If you listen to the Downtime Podcast with the Fox clothing guy they talk about how the Speedsuit is noticeably faster for riders. To the point that it would necessitate change in braking points and how they hit jumps. They then decided to wear it in practice as well as finals because they needed to get used to the speed difference. Let's say the Speedsuit (skinsuit) could save a rider 2 seconds over the course of a 3:50min track. Realistically, it's probably...

Just pointing out how we're headed back in the same direction as before when Peaty himself ran around the pits getting signatures to stop skinsuits & aero helmets to keep our sport's marketing identity separate from skiing on 2 wheels. We're back to aero suits, tucked behind the bars, zero pedaling, lean in as hard as possible to banked turns (even on 180s). The only time every racer doesn't look the exact same in a pic is in practice or a crash. We're coming back full circle to being skiers on bikes again. For taller, bigger riders, the weight added...

I agree, incentive is limited. I'm actually a sucker for rad paint jobs, and nobody is doing anything remotely cool these days on that front. Where the hell are the fades, splatters, metallics, neon colors, etc. No originality at all. Please drop some acid and get back to me.

It's almost like riders have different preferences in tires, ride different trails in different conditions, and have different skill levels.

Among other things being discussed here, I can even try to sharpen Occam's Razor even further and say... None of the platforms I know of that get great views spend time and effort trying to prove and promote to you that they are getting great views. (kinda like the 'nice guys never need to tell anyone that they are nice' concept) Another thing is, I dunno what youtube formats are like in other countries, but if they were smart they'd just use youtube as their paid platform... BUT that can't happen because they actually just bought it as a gateway/sampler...

Very hard to believe they are generating some 200+ million video views outside of YouTube. Maybe they are counting insta stories? Jackson’s race run povs on GoPro bike (assume these are being counted) have approximately 300,000 views combined. Jackson’s redbull hardline run has 3.9 million. replays for hardlines on YouTube are around 700,000. Imagine maybe half that watch on redbull. Hard to believe your average wc has many more viewers especially on a pay to play service. Yeah something ain’t mathing quite right. Maybe they will be polite enough to provide some justification for their numbers. At least this year...
