All

we're definitely back this year! not sure on specific prizes yet, but sram/rockshox should be behind it again. will update as we get closer.

I don't want Dak to go to Pivot

Les Gets Fantasy is open. and nope, not a typo. Troy is only $100 for his 100th race. Go TB! https://www.vitalmtb.com/fantasy/2025/round-7-les-gets-france

(dusts off my TI-84) welp, 'if ya cant beat em join em'? (Edit: while doing this, I feel like you don't need to bother cuz its almost directly related to pick trend which means everyone is doing it, which means you're only ever gonna tie everyone else doing this lol... dunno, we'll see)

Spotted the Zwar discount, too tempting not to have him in the lineup. Here’s hoping he can make it through Q1/Q2

Huge shoutout to the Vital team for creating such an awesome fantasy league. It makes watching the races insanely fun and exciting, and has gotten me engaged in DH racing in a way that nothing else could. And I've never even set foot on a DH bike before.

Vital DSQ Fantasy?

I annoyingly just thought of a better meme:

HH totally could’ve come to a stop there and made a face like OJ trying on that glove. “Ooopsie, this doesn’t work for me, gimme another go!” Instead she yelled out at the dipshit and used high level bike skills to avoid him. To each their own. I’d’ve clamped the brakes and hopped off my bike then and there, forced the issue. Conditions were so shitty though…maybe not. RicMc should’ve asked the team manager he was sharing a booth with if he would’ve put up a protest for one of his riders in that situation. Would be interesting to hear...

Spotted on Instagram 😂

Opinions are like assholes. Neither one belongs in tech rumors.

These videos are so valuable to the state of #USDH. Thank you everyone involved! My quick notes watching: - Commentator crew and production is dialed, and so hyped to have our dog Griz chopping it up in the booth. - Sweet 'fun facts' during race runs. So polished and pro. - I wish the track was longer, but damn, does it make for intense racing. - The UCI rule about fastest time of day juniors wearing elite sleeve is wack IMO. I'd like to still see national sleeves in each category at World Cups. - Anna is hauling this year...

MTB = Monetary, Tariff, & Budget rumors

Guessing you're a transplant to the South? These things are everywhere in college and pro ball. Not sure they are that applicable to most of our falls, but can't imagine they hurt anything. Regardless, good thing to share as I bet most people on here haven't seen them. If we're going to start adopting things from (american) football, I humbly request, on behalf of all southeastern US riders, that we give some consideration to sweatbands being cool. It's really hot and humid down here, and getting worse. Also, if the set up Loic has goes to production, we should...
