Buy Discovery to fix the WC. Use the rest of money to lobby every govt to ban e-bikes just to piss off e bikers.

i'd save up and get a Yeti

Much less ambitious, but also lower funds needed. I can see on google maps that there is an abandoned go-kart track a few km from my house. Would buy the lot, redo the track, buy some electric karts, build a gigantic pumptrack on the remaining land and have a few simrigs in the entrance building. Run the thing just aiming to break even. Instead I'll probably just keep my desk job for another 24 years...

1) Purchase a fleet of good quality, durable mountain bikes for kids in communities throughout New Mexico, especially Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and every Tewa pueblo and the Diné Nation. 2) Train mtb coaches to teach the kids skills and foster a love for riding while connecting with nature. 3) Purchase Sandia Peak ski area, build a world-class bike park, turn it into a non-profit, and bring kids from around the state to enjoy the trails. 4) Create racing teams made up of BIPOC kids so that folks of all kinds can see that mtb is for everyone. 5) Build myself...

My answer will make it very clear I literally wouldn't know what to do with that kind of money. It's barely a tangible thought for me. I would fund a media company that would focus on exposing lesser known riders and areas/trails and potentially make mountain biking more accessible in more remote areas. Whether its small towns in the US or third world countries. Everything from freeriding to XC racing to practical commuting in third world countries to make humans more independent. That bike Seth covered that was built for third world countries was awesome. The goal being to get...

Buy the Klein trademark and start making aluminium full suspension bikes with amazing paint jobs, variable chainstay lengths, and taller stack heights. Offer the same level of component customisation as Propain.

Other than owning my own Bike brand, Id love to pressure the UCI by creating a World series(a world series, not an american world series, sorry) that Does what alot of Car racing is like... obviously need a kick start but like broadcast rights, often the money is split between teams etc Advertise the hell out of it and make it so brands Would actually make money from a race business model and almost force teams to the point of 'oh, UCI can get stuffed, This series actually makes sense' This would require Turning against Privateers and offer a Teams...

love this question! i'd make an IROC for downhill (at least what i remember IROC (international race of champions) from the 80's being...maybe it still exists?). X number of venues with X number of pre-selected racers run the same bike, suspension and tire manufacturer. each venue bike, suspension and tires change. brakes, cockpit and drivetrain can be whatever they want the series has no UCI affiliation. example - val di sole, everyone is on specialized, ohlins and maxxis - les gets, commencal, fox and schwalbe - MSA trek, rockshox and continental - last race of the season is riders choosing...

Build a continental race series, 1 series based in North America, 1 in Europe and 1 in Oceania for juniors and up and comers to compete for real prize money, and try leverage that as a feeder system into an elite level competition that replaces the UCI shitshow.
