All

Get out of hear with your uncomfortable facts. I've heard all the different vaccines, made different ways and using different ingredients and different technologies, are all 100% safe and effective in exactly the same way and that's all I will ever believe. Please don't make me confront my beliefs, mods. Can we please just remove all the comments that go against the narrative?

Low level exposure to Atrazine has been proven to change frog sexual orientation, so you probably owe Alex Jones an apology. The issue with the vaccine is that it does not act as a vaccine at at - it does not prevent contraction of Covid nor does it prevent the spread of Covid; although it does seem to have a "perceived" slight reduction of symptoms of Covid, but having had Covid recently I can say that is false. So an unvaccinated vs. vaccinated person have roughly the same opportunities to spread, contract, be hospitalized, etc with the unvaccinated having the...

Unlike dictator Griz who has been watching too much CNN, I feel any aspect of a racer's medical health aught to be made by the racer. I also think it's absolutely ridiculous to mandate such medical requirements when it's neither been proven safe or effective. I'm seeing way too many first hand complications (specifically heart related issues) from young and healthy individuals that statistically would have been fine had they acquired their immunity naturally by contracting COVID. We've turned this into a much larger mess than it needed to be. If you want the vaccine, get the vaccine. If you...

You must not realize that professional athletes, though a very small portion of the population, are on average likely the least vaccinated demographic you can find.

Ah yes, don’t we all just yearn for an authoritarian dictatorship to keep us safe.

This design seems very well thought out, can't find anything not to like except the price tag haha- but even that is on par with comparable options

Pleeeease no more sidetrack talk about this on the rumours thread. Keep this to team rumours only

They already have your money, so what are you trying to prove by selling your bike?

No one is selling DH bikes though, We always say DH is the F1 of the sport, and manufacturers aren't doing F1 to sell road cars either I'd imagine. It's about pushing the boundaries. Developing better, faster, stronger bikes. For the sheer fucking love of the sport. Take for instance the new specialized enduro, with arguably one of the best rear suspension platforms on the market was a trickle down of tech from the new demo design. All those New SC bikes that look the same are trickle downs from V10's etc etc. Maybe YT don't have that drive, maybe...

Gnar factor is not super high except the steep bit around 5:00. Typically most people go around it because once you plunge into it, gravity takes over and you struggle to control speed for the berm. the braking bumps can be like stairs. The track is quite fast and has good flow, not a lot of rocks and roots, but brake bumps can be terrible. Overall the track is not very steep, some turns are quite flat actually. Actually, this is a kind of track I would excpect and long 29er to have great advantages because of speed and because...

That was the most exciting end to the Women's season I have ever seen! And the Men's was just as exciting as the end to the 2019 season, had us on the edge of our seats over here! MTB DH really is the best sport in the world.

It does look very like a 'Live Valve' plug, but they'll have worked wonders if they've managed to pack all the extra stuff in what looks like a standard shock. Pic for comparison:

One of the best races ive ever watched. Greg is the true GOAT

I appreciate the transparency that Gwin has shown and hope for a quick and complete recovery. Best of luck to Austin and the rest of the US team!

Thanks for the update.

As always, the peanut gallery again looks like we have zero idea what we are talking about (because, we don't). Nuance, turns out, is everything. Thanks for taking the time to update us superfans, best of luck recovering. Keep your head up.

Hey Guys, another update. Austin was one of the first people I called after getting hurt. We're buddies and talk/ride together fairly regularly. I let him know what was up and wanted to confirm that he was staying in Europe for the next month like I thought he was. He's racing Maribor this weekend and isn't planning on coming back home until after the WC in Switzerland next month either way. That was good news as he's easily ready to go if I pull out. I also contacted USAC to make sure they get him everything he needs to compete...
