Happy 2024 to all of you

Ugh, Cathro and family flooded out if their house He also has this to say about PBR: "It’s also the end of Pinkbike Racing as we currently know it which is incredibly sad in many ways but I will hold many great memories of those two wild years"

Well it's January 1st here in Kangaroo Country.... spill the beans.

Elliot jamieson off norco

I think it was explained in the making up the numbers pod. Kade is an Red Bull athlete and therefore obliged to wear a red bull helmet in all competitions. 100% only provide a limited amount of red bull helmets to kade for the season. When he crashed in snowshoe, he totaled his last helmet and they could not provide a new one in time for the race. Jackson offered his Fox reb bull helmet as a replacement but 100% denied that. So he was not allowed to start because he didn't have the sponsor correct helmet.

2024 will certainly be an interesting year. Old riders will be missed and new ones will be celebrated. I wonder if the UCI will recognise the trend and take countermeasures so that the sport is not put at risk due to inconsistency. The semis should definitely be cancelled. They bring no added value and the risk of injury is simply far too great. But above all, there is strong competition coming with IXS and some of the bodywork series. I would laugh my head off if a bike manufacturer took matters into their own hands and launched a counter product...

I Know its a bit offtopic but could someone tell me the story of Kade and the 100% / Fox helmet? Thanks

Maybe a bit of a dead horse now, but Gwinny no longer tagging IFR.

She is going to Norco with Greg.

I agree with you, Greg puts a huge focus on the trust he puts in the people around him and the support they give creating a competitive environment that pushes him to 'that' level. The guy is a superstar but more than that he is just an all round lovely human with time for anyone. He deserves the structure and equipment for him to thrive!

Brook is off MS..... WOW, did not see this coming. By his personal IG post it seems as he is now without a team for 2024

Kathy is one of the nicest humans I was fortunate to meet on the World Cup circuit. Always smiling, always took the time to listen, regardless who you are. Genuinely nice. I strongly believe that people with a demeanour like hers are an important part of what makes our sport different, special and approachable, close to the fans. Just had to say that. Mx

damn, bruh. what about us 57 year old men that try to ride like we're still 18?? Anyhow, Greg seems to put a lot of importance on people he trusts to help keep a stable environment. I see him thriving on a team with he and an upcoming junior rider and his sponsors, kinda like Gwin.

Looks like Brook is also without a team for next year.

She's 65, pretty sure she is enjoying retirement in SoCal with the other sun baked grandmas dressing like they think they are still 18.

Oh, but I beg to differ! I was on the hill that day in Champery and it was a very very special moment. I yelled my lungs out and could not believe my eyes and neither could the vast majority of the people on location. Of course, the Freecaster commentary of Rob and Nigel shaped it for posterity, but it's superficial to suggest that Danny owes his career just to that broadcast and that's that. Come on! Danny was a prodigy riding the UK scene for Balfa/Appalache and then delivered everything his talent promised as a kid. Not only spectacular...

Sram drivetrain, fox suspension. Only brand I can think running that is atherton but doubt she's on atherton. Cube run raceface components and they are sram cranks. All cube bikes have raceface cranks
