How about something F1 did to try and level the playing field, address excessive spending, excessive waste, marketing blah,blah, blah Introduce a maximum amount of spares that can be used for a given item, for the entire year you get 2 frames, 2 forks, 2 rear shocks (set number of rebuilds in a season) , 4 wheels, 4 sets of brakes (front or rear) 2 sets of drivetrain parts, etc. A season of attrition for components and frames.....You fuck up and break too many frames, penalty points, or all teams get an additional item of their choosing..... I always thought...

If Asa didnt make the mistake and took the troy line, he wouldve smashed them - hes young with less help and he will learn alot from that experience. That just makes him even more dangerous knowing it was only .2 after all that. Asa's Riding is very Bruni like, Smooth & controlled but its freakishly fast.

2/8/2025 7:38am I don’t see a way you can have a “Spec Racing” series and only control the frame. Tires would need to be standardized as well brakes and suspension. Drivetrain should be standard as well. Individual component tuning such as damper setup, and pad/rotor selection will be rider/team choice. Certain spec components may need to have some level of tamper protection...

2/1/2025 6:52pm Natural righty that had to learn lefty for a while after shattering a knee. Took some time to realize the stance change pulled my hips back. Felt weak and way off the back riding switch until I figured that bit out. Briefly skated mongo. Literal woodpusher. I was awful.

Believe it or not, I have one on my bike, and a chain on a few other bikes. Bending with and without load is not the same thing,and the energy used by bending a belt is fairly constant,while chains friction increases with power. There's a dedicated thread to all this now, just saying like someone else mentioned, there's a lot of confirmation bias and a huge echo chamber talking about drag, but I literally just have 2 bikes next to me, one with a belt, and one with a chain I didn't lube after riding yesterday. There's no difference worth...

I guess with DNIS brakes you skip steps 2 & 3 and go straight to neglect?

Eddie Masters brings more eyes to that team than probably anything. His YouTube channel is quite popular. He’s also no slouch in enduro, was just riddled with injuries that last bit.

Smash a thumbs up on this post if you confirm all three: 1) you know what a Bassworm is, 2) you know how to install one, 3) you installed one on your own bike. I do, I do, and I did.

With respect Phil has been struggling to be a regular top 30 finisher the last few years. And like Kade and Kaos his skills may be more valuable producing content rather than racing World cups. And that sucks cos those boys really lit up the vital raw , sleeper co. and Ben cathro videos over the world cup weekends. Sad to see the gifted steezy and technical riders are being forced out of the racing side of the sport now . I wanna see some rowdy shit being done on some wild lines not just a load of Frenchies deathgripping...

Phil Atwill and the Propain Positive team appear to have parted ways with Propain. Instagram is now labeled "Positive Crew". They're either up for grabs or stepping back from UCI level racing. Hopefully somebody gives them the steam for more World Cup racing, Phil has some of the most unique bike handling skills around.

Danny Hart's GT Fury caught a lot of attention this past World Cup season as it had some notable structural frame modifications to increase compliance. Dale, Danny's mechanic, is a veteran frame engineer and had some great ideas on how to fine tune Danny's bike to work best for his style and to eke out the literal hundreths of a second needed to win races. If you haven't seen these mods, check out this quick section of Vital's PIT BITS video here. Let's dig into each modification. This will be extra fun because I was fortunate enough to be the...

You know how rich dorks move into the cool neighborhood and then start complaining about the nightclub’s noise and the neighborhood starts sucking and becomes lame and they’re all looking around like what? That’s what this feels like. Union embodied the passion that truly drives the sport. Their whole thing was to help, not to earn. Pricing them out is not better for anyone.

I agree with you. What a fuckin waste. I gave them the benefit of the doubt the first year and even paid to watch. Last year I pirated it out of spite and will continue to do so until they actually make a positive impact on the sport.
