I've said it before and I'll say it again. I love watching WC racing, but Hardline is a whole different level of comradery and just good vibes. Obviously the guys at the pointy end (Jackson, Ronan, Asa, Finn, etc) are there to win, BUT, we also get super fun party laps and a reminder that lots of these guys are...

This summer I experimented with a dual crown enduro park bike (v1 Dreadnought, Boxxer, single speed), along with my Madonna. It was SUPER fun on A-Line, Dirt Merchant, etc, but at the end of the day, too much overlap with my Madonna (and I like the RAAW better). I ended up selling the Dreadnought and the eventual plan will be...

There are still plenty of purists who just don't want to ride an ebike, but still want an enduro bike. BUT, most 2020 enduro bikes ride just as good as a new one, AND, like mentioned before, a modular park/enduro bike makes more sense. RIP enduro.

I have never loved a bike more than my Madonna. I ride it everywhere and can't imagine much being better, BUT... I think my ideal three bike lineup would be a longer travel ebike (ONLY because I live in the Canadian Rockies and our climb trails are like, 10% grade), a single speed DH/park bike and a short travel down-country...

I preferred HB's run to Robin's, but I think they got the podium right. HB went bigger and had a more interesting line, but Robin has more tricks in the bag. There was zero doubt it was between those two, though. If Kirstin can add some flips or spins to her run, she'll be a serious contender, though.

I agree with you on both points. If I'm not mistaken, Charlie is the only guy in the past 20 years who's won a World Championship and has never won a World Cup.

I know you're talking about World Cup results, but I think it's fair to mention Charlie Hatton won a World Champs. That's gotta make his World Cup results harder to swallow, though.

All 3 commencal women have looked dialed in the weird ruts where most others have looked awkward. Gracey also just came by gloveless, sleeves rolled up, blasting “talk dirty to me” on her phone and ripping the shit out of it.

Someone's got to be on that new Wilson. It looks sick AF. Although Goodman seems to be one of the secondary teams that's crushing it and I'd hope it's not just v10 related.

Hasn't he already confirmed multiple times that he's not leaving Specialized?

I hope they don’t bring protected riders back in. Make every rider work for every race qualifying and finals. It was disappointing to not see Finn and Jackson race yesterday, but having the three Canadians get in q2 and the other riders that did put it together is great for the sport. Big props to Body Burke making it through q2 after that q1 crash.

Completely disagree. I was absolutely gutted that Finn and Jackson didn't make it through, but it's just a testament that the level of riding and competition is absolutely crazy these days (particularly on the men's side). Like, on any given weekend, anyone in the top 20 could be on the podium. This has been one of the most exciting seasons...

There is a significant change in suspension platform for a number of Transition bikes.

The only take away I got from this video is that Jordan Williams doesn't love the Whistler Bike Park and thinks riding the trails and jump lines would get boring after a couple days. Does he even enjoy riding bikes? Because if you can't have fun riding WBP, what are you even doing?
