His story about the business of mountain bike and mountain bike scene in Japan is very true, the Japan market is difficult to navigate and hasn't changed drastically over the last couple of years. That said fujimi panorama still exist and other places have open to MTB riding like fujiten managed by a couple of local guys who are working a ton everyday to make things better and more accessible to those willing to give the sport a try. Trail building in Japan is already in itself is a very complicated and arduous task, specially when it comes to getting...

to say "no advantage gained" is so subjective and shouldn't be part of the discussion. angel was 10th, dak norton 11th. their time diff was .11 seconds. if angel stayed on a line that kept him in the course (possibly meaning more direction change or hitting bigger bumps), he could have lost that .11 and may have given up a spot and points. his line almost looks straighter than it normally would have been.

do you guys not see his tires to the left side of the pole in that screen grab? riders can smash through the pole with body and bars all they want, but tires can't break around the point of where the pole is in the ground. angel's do. if that pole was shin-high there wouldn't be a debate, would there? if this was between poles and he brought tires back inside, no issue either, but he's outside the pole, on the pole. the other rule in play here is the protest time period, which is now over apparently. so that...

10/16/2020 10:37pm As much as I would like to see him take a win, pole or no pole he clearly went outside the tape. Literally cut the tape and went outside, run should be dsq.

10/16/2020 8:47pm This run should be DQ, clearly went outside the tape and should have returned to were he exited. As for the pole marking discussion (I am no expert) however, would say that the base of the pole is what marks the limit of the track otherwise what's the point of having a pole there.

Definitely a DQ if the UCI want to be consistent with their rulings, Bernard tried to argue this as he was DQ'd years ago for something similar, but the UCI Comm argues it wasn't intentional. Bernard gives his thoughts in my WynTV up later tonight.

a rider's intention is never a deciding factor. this would be a dq in a slalom run for sure.

we totally got the point, BUT some dude from Switzerland wrote "the team manager of ms has personaly wanted danny back. He needs someone to put pressure on laury to finaly start winning more frequently" and we simply want to state that this is not the case. It's one thing to do some random guessing and share speculations, but another thing to make a bad joke on the back of riders.

I see your point, but 'Tribe' has been in used in Europe for centuries as well as other parts of the world. From all I see it originated in Rome /Mediterranean area. This particular word isn't anyone's to 'own'. Yeti is a private company and is free to change as they see fit, but this isn't appropriation anymore than a restaurant selling Italian dishes , Hispanic dishes, Thai ,etc outside the 'home' country.

Wow, kudos for finding a way to fit the words oppression, privilege, freedom and vindication all within three short paragraphs. In all seriousness, this is the wokest thing written on Vital maybe ever. Yeti changing a name changes NOTHING for Native Americans. Go ahead, call any Nation you like tomorrow. Ask them how their day is going. Do the same in a year. Ten years. Maybe we can ban the word tribe all together, that'll fix it. The truth is, we have real issues. And this type of thinking does NOTHING to fix them (not sure why I keep putting...

That line of thinking sounds rather dangerous. What is it you are saying I am unable to notice? What "priveleged" group have you determined I am to be categorized under?
