MPH24 Added a reply to 2016 Racing Rumours
12/16/2015 7:42am I kind of agree. Maybe he has 1 more year on his contract and Spec thinks that with graves as a training partner with real enduro focus he will be better? Keene is a phenomenal rider, but there are all lot of great riders in the EWS and usually a company like big S wouldn't pay for Keene's results unless...

MPH24 Added a reply to As a Consumer, How Do You Choose What to Buy? Vital Review Feedback Requested
11/19/2015 6:11am As long as trail bikes "descend like a DH bike" I think you're good. Haha Since most of the bikes you guys test in the test sessions are in a similar range of use and have different specs, could you guys do a tire review? May be something you could do concurrently with testing the overall bike. What combos worked...

11/19/2015 6:05am wonder what the changes are at the syndicate??? Minnaar is doing an interview with Warner today... One final year for the syndicate?

11/16/2015 3:24pm Damn that's some serious redecorating... Is the syndicate no more, or at least in its current form? Hard to imagine that crew splitting up... GM and Roskopp seem like boys, Peaty is Peaty, and can't imagine them letting Rat go after 2 very solid seasons

MPH24 Added a comment about feature Opinion: When Does Risk Outweigh the Reward? How Red Bull Rampage Changed Our Perspective

Couldn't agree more. This totally sucks. People will get hurt biking but the format of this event forces people to take risk that I don't think they would if "line choice" wasn't so crucial to doing well. Also, this just shouldn't be a live event. Riders should have time and be able to wait for safe conditions over the course of a day or two to have judged runs. It's windy in virgin (all the time) so if you're going to score runs give riders a big window so they aren't forced to ride when conditions make them uncomfortable. Lastly...

9/30/2015 7:25am On a separate note, why can't this be more like other sports. Where we all know who is a free agent with speculation about who they are talking to? I get the riders contracts are through the end of the calendar year, but how about just making them end after the season so us nerds at home can enjoy some...

9/30/2015 7:21am I believe Minnaar and Rats contracts are up with SC. Peaty signed a 5 year deal a couple years ago... I'm sure at the time GM might have thought he would retire at this point but after last year he may have the itch. I would be surprised that GM leaves given his close relationship with Rob... May be GM...
MPH24 Added a reply to Enduro practice - Should it be standardized?
7/29/2015 6:31pm haha. Saw a guy giving this same speech at the TH with his new enve wheels....haha Just think some standardization in how organizers present notification and and administer the "rules" and schedule of the event that holds them accountable and ensures that when people sign up they know what the are in for.

7/29/2015 3:53pm So I haven't read every word here, but I have done a solid read through. It seems like the issues here have a strong parallel to another sport that handles this pretty well - sailboat racing (yeah I'm going to get murdered for this, but growing up and competing at a high-level I can assure you this isn't the blue...

I hear you somewhat, but the cut away shots of the inside of an SC frame look better than that

Totally agree... It doesn't seem that difficult to make a knob that can be adjusted by hand

3/9/2015 4:18pm Not to be a hater because the YT looks sweet, but does YT just copy Spesh's suspension platforms or is it just me...
totally agree. be great to know if the cleat position range is the same. if it is or really close, the shoe looks like a real winner

Love the bike reviews, but I am currently on the HR2s and have mixed feelings about them. Be great to see a test sessions like approach on tires for bikes similar to those tested here.

2/15/2015 9:29pm The thing that is ridiculous about this is that rule hasn't been enforced with the Syndicate before and the rule itself is ambiguous "All riders within a team are obliged to wear clothing that has identical major sponsor placement, layout and overall look." Its open to being subjective. If you want teams to look the same then say "All riders...

But why the change from Royal for clothes? Mavic has indicated that its either none or all in with them. I am guessing CRC has gone fully Mavic for the upcoming season
