I understand where Pierron is coming from but a Doctor at a race is not going to have the equipment or imaging to prevent him and others from racing. You just can't bring a MRI, CT Scan, or XRAY to every race. You have to be able to go to the hospital for that. So his point is mute in that respect. Being an adult you have to make decisions for yourself. Now if you want to a have a concussion protocol that prevents racers from racing sure. But when it comes down to it you have to take care...

I see both sides of the safety issue, it indeed is a sport based on risk... My day job is commercial construction management, safety is a huge part of the job. Safety is like anything, it can easily go too far... I for one, watch the streams and am sometimes mortified by a few conditions that seem needlessly unsafe. Most of it is small stuff like having provisions for if/when a rider were to ride off the side of a huge wooden drop/ramp. To not have the area just off course at least evaluated and had a once over, is...

I'm REALLY confused. If you're falling off track, why is anyone responsible for what you land on? The wall ride at Leogang doesn't have a ceiling. The rocks in the ground at Ft. Bill don't all face away from you. You can't pad every tree. Heck, I'm still of the mind of "why the hell are we padding trees?" It's a 2 wheeled balance bike screaming down only a few dozen mountains even want to take the risk of having us. He's talking about landing on his head on a rock off course. What all in the world could you...

I'm currently working on the day 1 gallery from Eurobike, but if you want to check out some of the stuff in video form, here's a 12-minute tour from Frankfurt today!

Pull linkages can produe the "best" levarage curves, beautiful S shaped high progression for off the top to mid stroke support to high progression for bottom out. In the wrong hands they are terrible, ala Focus' disgusting leverage curves that we wont talk about. Considering how closesly they work with Ohlins, if i wouldn't be suprised if they suggested a pull link style, it's lovely to work with.

And yet I found show was great. The racing is the thing, the racers are the stars, and it shows how awesome this sport is that they still shone despite the presentation. Racing bikes down hills. CG and Ric Mic are fine. the cameras were not better than Red Bull, or if they were, the direction let them down. —they were quick with replays of crashes though, that was better. It seemed to be missing a sense of immediacy that Red Bull had—like, were we there? one thing that was absolutely sick about the new format was the idea that...

bike abuse slowmo from lenzerheide!

The footage is good but let's be honest, they aren't showing us the most exciting parts of the track. I want to see the fast/steep tech sections not just the wide open sections.

Odd...glad you got it sorted out. Enjoy! So cool to watch racing live again.

I'm using the GCN web page and it's working perfectly fine - but at time I wish there was no commentating https://plus.globalcyclingnetwork.com/watch/5125470
