First off: Thanks @iceman2058 for sharing this tool here. I just sent it to him one day before to have a look, when we had just put it live, and it's an honour to see it shared amongst other enthusiasts (not to say nerds), like ourselves. @thegromit We were thinking about making the frame specs also indepent between the two setups, and it is easily possible. However, the main idea behind this tool was to be able to play around with different spacers, stem lengths, handlebars and handlebar rotation and to understand what happens when you change this or that...

Not exactly a tech rumor, as this is actually real, but worth a post here I think - BikeYoke has just introduced their new "Cockpit Calculator" (do you have a better name for it?), basically a 3D visualization of how changing your geo and cockpit parameters affect your riding position. It's a pretty neat concept, with a few nice use cases that jump out at us. For example, if you're changing your frame and you want to get as close as possible to your old fit, this could help you figure out exactly what cockpit components you need to get...

The reality of mountain biking is that it happens in the mountains, and the mountains of Utah are notoriously shifty when it comes to weather. After a few incredible runs, including Godziek absolutely stomping his line for 90 points and the lead, and Jaxson Riddle finally delivering a run worthy of his potential, the event has gone on wind hold as the weather front we knew was on the way is hitting the venue. Thoughts go out to Carson Storch who had to be heli-lifted to hospital after crashing in his chute (and coming to a stop just a few...

Big congrats to Neko Mullaly for everything he's done. Frameworks up there battling the big dogs and he Seems to be the perfect mentor for Asa. Great listening to him on the Downtime podcast and when he was in the commentary booth last season

LETS GO ASA!!!!!!!!

This year one of the big stories was the potential impact of the group of first year men's Elite riders. They delivered: 3 first year men in the top 8 of the standings, with one of them taking the overall My prediction: Next year the first year women Elites could be just as big a story.

Every single rider (except Reece) who has hit this rut right at the top has hit either a derailleur or pedal, sometimes both. There is going to be a mechanical at some point if they hit it hard enough.

Big shout out to Wyn for the pits video. Those little insights we learn about Jacob Jewetts shoulder, Gwin being the last one to leave the pits and Mad Maxs brake levers captures these athletes in a way that the morons from WBD will never be able to when they shove a mike in front of them. Hope he has a long future in downhill when he stops racing.

Probably the first of your posts I’ve disagreed with: I cannot wait to see how the Asa/Jordan battle plays out.

its been fine for me, using the 720p link. crazy to think what Aletha did... on what should be a wetter, slower track. Vali is having some THOUGHTS about that lol

the morning is already buzzing. going to be a crazy day! (some pics from track just now with more to come).

Thank you Cahal for live streaming Q1 that was epic to listen as it happened live Can't believe jackson and Finn got skunked in their hometown. Go find a rage room boys

Glad you're enjoying the pre and post-race stuff, I enjoy doing it!

Outland season for us was 1996, we ran outland frames with Mongoose decals, season prior in 1995 when leigh won worlds, we rode handmade Nicolai frames with mongoose decals (And the last 2 seasons on Mongoose, were Intense M1's with mongoose decals....we basically started that whole fad of riding for a bike brand that did not make DH worthy bikes and the moment Leigh and Lopes rode Palmers intense-it was game over "we have to ride that frame")...so that being said, the outland season was insane; we headed to first world cup in panticosa Spain, I brought 2 spare front...
