6/3/2026 9:17am Having seen GoPro rent a chalet in the Alps the last two winters, ski, wine and dine clients I'd say they haven't been clever. And that was some mid level stuff & they'll say that there was benefits to getting big sales. Yes, very much enjoyed the comment of lame mates videos.

This isn't impossible as, in French, we WB choose Florian Letondeur as co-commentator on side of Eurosport one. Flo is the guy behind Fast As French YouTube and Instagram channels. Flo is doing an amazing job bringing is knowledge and insights of the sport to a sport generalist TV broadcaster. It take some time, as before that the commentary was like two random commentators knowing absolutely nothing about our sport (apart of their incomplete stats sheets) trying to adapt MotoGP/Formula 1 commentary on something they absolutely didn't understand ( Do you think this dude is on wet or intermediate tires...

6/1/2026 4:20am Scathing comments on youtube... It seems it didn't matter how many time they mentioned, "Flight attendant" it served not help in keeping up. To have a delay as bad as they had is truly embarrassing. Amateur production standards from Chris Ball and his cronies. Of course we were spoilt with the hype master Warner. However he also did his research...

5/5/2026 4:21am With the atrocious commentary that we had to put up with in South Korea what happens next? Do we think Josh got demoted by the higher ups due to backlash on places like here? And they went and got the other end of the spectrum in terms of excitement level with Slugger. Please, somewhere in the middle. Is it that...

5/5/2026 4:15am For me its simply a bit lame having so much aid on the side of the track. Modern courses often tend to be pretty one line anyway, with only minor variations throughout a course. I don't know for sure, how many big "key sections" there are per course, but it doesn't feel like much these days. Rider after rider doing...

4/24/2026 11:54pm Any chance we can take this ebike power rules chat to a new thread? A few pages ago it was fascinating reading about Alta's struggle and DJI's structure vs old school German power.

4/3/2026 2:07am I've only passed through all these places briefly, but have spent a bit more time in Campitello di Fassa, about a km down the road from Canazei. Lots going on for all the family during the summer season. Not a massive ski town, but very nice. I think Ortesei might be a bit lower down and more of a town...

4/2/2026 4:18am Than you Jeff. And the Cooper link was interesting too. Here, this winter, we have seen so many Americans with these mega passes. I didn't realise how bad a situation the evil Vail was in.
Oli_C Added a reply to Tire inserts - do you run them?
4/2/2026 3:05am Team Robot is spot on with why you might need them. It's interesting reading everyone's different uses and setups. Particularly Storm Racing with the thicker with skinny tyres and thinner with DH tyres. I get that, even if at first it makes no sense, especially as now my use has changed. Also interesting to note that many DH pro's don't...

The fascination with Dak, Gwin and BK on this forum is wild and getting so boring! The pivot team are wearing different helmets who cares they are a team and they are racing, I’m sure the way that the bike industry is going people are getting sponsors but can wrangle a deal with other companies if they want, like in most sports they play for the same teams but they don’t have to wear the same boots/shoes/goggles

1/16/2026 7:15am I think you are all under estimating the need for Aaron to get dragged up to Asa's speed. He can mentor him on everything else, but he needs the young speed and young line choices. He knows exactly what he's doing Mr Gwin. Why do you think he is so wealthy, no one would choice kenda tyres for no reason.

1/7/2026 12:47am Very sad news, but so great that she can take a year out. So many top woman of recent years have come and gone. Loana Lecomte. Jenny Risveds comeback. It's so tough at the top of the woman's XC. Top level racing it racing so will anything change, I fear not, but let's hope for best.

12/5/2025 11:34am Why do Netflix even need to bother with biking other than TdF. How well did that series go? Gen X? Live Content? If you are a suit wearing, business excec, maybe you run the park in your city, or you tennis at an exclusive club whilst your wife and kids play, and you get the documents: mountain bike racing: cost...

7/7/2025 4:47am Its great to see Jackson dominate, but it's interesting how Vali isn't quite there this year. She was supposed to dominate for 10yeara, but look now at all the incredible junior woman. Will Asa and the Arlans come and challenge him. Will Deegan be able to match Jets speed. Who knows what will happen in the future. Its gonna be...

As a non MX guy I couldn't relate to Ken at all and was honestly wondering why this guy is commentating on a downhill worldcup. To approach a broader audience, if that was the intention, it would have been totally fine to have him in the pre and post coverage as a guest. But in the booth?
