8/12/2022 5:20am Dave, oligarchs using family foundation money to build trails isn’t a “return of corporate sponsorship” though- of the walton owned properties that have been brought in to sponsor stuff(like last year’s Walmart Cyclocross worlds in Ar), When they do engage in sponsorship, it’s meaningless. qwik trip, Intelligentsia, Moosejaw- all properties owned by walton’s that have been title sponsors of cycling...

"It's the Bike Parks (not the bikes), Stupid" First off: I'm not sure this is a real problem. Honestly, I'm not. Can manufacturers afford DH even if they're not selling a ton of downhill bikes? Maybe? What's it been... almost ten years that enduro bikes have been capable of handling most gravity and bike park terrain? And, because they are also rideable on local trails, who wouldn't want them, instead of the, "two-bike solution"? This is even more the case now that eBikes are taking over. They're just enduro bikes with a battery. But downhill racing is SO COOL: And...

I see lots of rage here, but not enough directed toward gravel racing. Remember that the bicycle industry doesn’t actually like mtb racing any more- and that the brands are wasting tons of money on big dumb corporate gravel stuff. Mtb does kinda need a savior right now- the Outside behemoth is far too focused on “Participation Based Cycling” to do anything for real mtb racing. All this hate towards the “new guys” when there is already plenty of invective that should be funneled toward the most recent media roll-up. This forum is almost all Americans. Let’s complain about our...

mickey Added a reply to EWS Coverage & the overall ROI for companies sponsoring enduro racers
6/8/2022 6:09am Going Racing is almost never “worth it”, but it is always worthwhile. Fielding a race program is about the Values, not the “ROI” racing brings to a brand. Racing at an EWS venue during the same time period as the marquee event is open to just about anyone with the desire to experience top-level enduro racing. Like the NORBA series...

good catch guys- I just logged in and changed that out. Looking at reg data, Dak pre-registered before the IFR announcement. At Zone4(the timing vendor) we import data from BikeReg.

Off topic: Americans are weird. Whenever this topic comes up it's always some American that regurgitates these talking points. I know that generalization hits a lot of good folk out there but, wow - you guys have a serious problem on your hands. Flatlander over here isn't even a rare exception. He's just one of the few that accidentally found himself outside the imaginary world he and his fellow bubble dwellers live in. On topic: France is outside of the imaginary world the new breed of American conservatives have created. More power to them. Push bike athletes should not be...

8/28/2021 6:02am Oh, it's definitely supposed to be for spectator access. Maybe this was cheaper than a shipping container, given covid demand? The funny thing is a shipping container drop wouldn't have created so much electronic venom! Hopefully the crew is also putting time into clearing drains in the lower woods? I think Mr. Leader was the last person to do that...
