All

I wasn't aware there had been an announcement of all teams and their sponsors for 2025. I thought this was a guessing game, but obviously it's an "I know something you don't" game.

Surprised to say I really like the Cotic. Couldn’t be bothered if it were simply a pedal bike, but that thing looks sick! Refined test mule vibes.

I really like provateer Danny Hart- van camping with his family and almost winning worlds.

I would choose to watch Brendogs run over the others for sure, TMacs was a fairly close second though. Having said that, I don’t think it should win Rampage and I feel like he even knows that. Semenuks run was not worthy of the win imo though. I felt like I was watching slopestyle.

Call me an old codger. But the risks involved in this event are not worth it, IMO.I don't watch anymore as I know what is coming. I don't want to see it when it does. Knowing the media that promotes this, my guess is they would hide it anyway to keep the money flowing.

why the F did the course marshal offer Brendog a RB at the finish corral? Yeah the guy was probably parched at the bottom but are they that oblivious to miss the big green M on his helmet? I feel like the whole event staff is cognizant of the "Bren got robbed" narrative, and are generally aware of the hype and publicity he bring with the vlogs, but in the end they leaned into it and wanted to do him dirty. I don't want to take anything away from anyone, I feel like 2024 was gnarlier than recent years, and...

Hope he cashed in after that win!

One of the most important things in rich people hobbies is having even richer people to get mad at. You and I, we spent what we had to…a dollar more is way too much! And truly: imagine not helping your child pursue their dreams. “Well yeah she loves it, but who gives a shit! We’re going to make her stay home watch the kitchen remodel.” Question: how many people have retired from DH in the black? I’m guessing hmm zero

Some brembo brakes would be sick on the eeb

Well, if you want to compare eebs to motos Bosch is like Honda/Yamaha and Shimano is like Kawasaki/Suzuki. Average Joes and those with more mechanical sympathy don't have a ton of issues with Zooks and Kawi's, but faster riders have plenty of issues with them, so most people would consider Yamaha and Honda objectively more reliable. Bosch bikes sell for a premium price compared to Shimano, so the comparison is valid there too. KTM Group bikes would be like the Pinnion MGU's and DJI's of the market. Exciting new stuff, but reliability could be a crapshoot.

Apparently they said on the French broadcast that Atherton won't be at the World Cups next year.

Not sure that I got any real deals but, for me, I have bought seven new bikes this year. Not all of them have arrived yet. I've also bought a Liv e-mtb for my wife and a couple of bikes for my boys (almost 2 years old and 6 years old). In looking at my history though, this is pretty normal for me over the last 6 years. If you really want a list (mine only): Generation 3 Pivot Switchblade (XTR build, stripped and upgraded to what I want) S-works Epic 8 Mondraker Neat RR SL Transition PBJ Atherton AM...

Be awesome to see FMD on Atheron, nothing against Commencal but be cool to see the Atheron brand grow.

You obviously didn’t read my post. Your prob just burnt because your still paying the 30 year mortgage on your splinter van. While acting like your saving the planet.

All this virtue signaling is BS. Feel free to pay more to help yourself feel better but don’t for a second actually believe it has any benefit other than that.

Absolutely gutted for Matt Walker and the Madison Saracen guys in their last race

Have u tried to ride e-bike downhill compared to regular bike, u will be much faster and overshoot jumps (without pedal assist) , so adding weight around BB definitely make sence, especially when minimal pedaling required

Watching Norco go from publicly announcing they were shutting down their race team to then signing Greg and now potentially adding 3 more riders has been quite the roller coaster but I'm here for it.

Pivot taking that "family" atmosphere of the team to a whole new level. 😂

If you're using a multitool on every ride you need to improve your maintenance routine.
