I'll be sold on Jackson when he finally posts a POV of a winning run during which he chatters away and never breathes heavily, the way he does in his course previews. 😉

9/9/2025 6:38am I find it hard to root against Jackson for a bunch of reasons: 1. He's obviously a generational talent on a bike. 2. He looks like he has fun every time he gets on the bike, whether it's practice, in a race or at the local dirt jumps. 3. (Maybe the most important to me) He seems to be stoked...

9/8/2025 2:15pm I seem to get all the shoe luck, but also don't have super picky feet. My buddy got me a pair of mid-top Impact Pro's from TJ Maxx for $32usd a couple of months ago in Texas. They had a whole stack of options at the time. Also love my 2F0 DH's (sometimes go on crazy sales on the Spec...

9/5/2025 7:32am I don't necessarily love Orbea, but having the ability to make the Rallon either a world cup level DH bike or an enduro bike is pretty cool. Not exactly a value proposition if you're swapping suspension and drivetrain, but I still like that it can be done. I also really like what Shimano is doing with CUES/Linkglide. Affordable and durable...

In Jackson's preview video there was a 3 second segment where I thought I heard him breathing heavy. I hope he's feeling okay!😄

9/3/2025 9:22am The 13-14 year age difference aside, the really problematic part for me is the fact that he was/is still her boss, and that relationship began when she was a teenager. If he was her teacher or coach at school and they started dating shortly after she graduated people would be up in arms. How is this any different?

9/3/2025 8:04am It was the same in Les Gets. I was surprised to see the YT Mob Sprinter van/pop up tent combo when everyone else had big truck/trailer set-ups. Especially because they were close to the double decker Orbea truck.

I thought I'd seen it all... But then I saw someone hate on Bgoldstone in the Vital forums. A dark day indeed. (I can only assume they tagged the wrong person? Bgoldstone might be the most objective info, non-opinionated poster in the entire forum.)

the other big rumor at crankworx this year (and last year, so who knows) was a hardline squamish or north van stop. timing before whistler WC would be pretty ideal, eh?

8/27/2025 9:50am Wyn hinted at a new Hardline stop on the track walk when chatting with Finn and Roger. Jackson hinted at something closer to home (I think on one of the Tasmania vlogs with Matt Jones). Would be definitely be cool to see another stop.

8/27/2025 8:13am I know it's been discussed a bunch already, but got another pic of the new 40 at the Fox pit in Les Gets. Didn't get a pic of the dials, but looks like it's still running Grip X2. Dials looked the same as the current gen 40.

8/27/2025 8:05am I've seen Jordan riding around this week at Les Gets and he was on the regular prototype, not this one. And as far as I've seen/heard, this is the first time the full carbon frame has been seen out in the wild, so I'm guessing it'll be coming out for the race?

8/25/2025 12:10pm Watch the Sleeper.co video of the guys riding the track after the race on their e-bikes (last year, I think?). https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9ffwSXsQq6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link… Still looks like a rowdy track, especially if they get as much moisture as it sounds like they're supposed to get. Tues (1mm), Wed (7mm), Thurs (44mm), Fri (18mm), Sat (5mm). Obviously the forecast can change (especially in the...

I don't agree with your conclusions at all, but even if we entertain them. 1) Ski racing is some of the raddest gravity fed racing in the world if you have any understanding of it at all, so having some similarity to ski racing is not necessarily a bad thing. 2) If you think all skiers look the same or have identical style, you have not yet taken the time or energy to actually learn the sport. Thats fine, but people who follow it can immediately know who certain skiers are based simply by their style/technique. Skiers don't all look...

8/15/2025 9:57am Nope. No mountain bike skills to be found on the WC DH circuit... sheesh.

8/14/2025 2:01pm Or the fact that he's less out of breath, despite riding one of the gnarliest dh tracks while talking the entire time, than most people are walking to the end of the driveway and back.

Looks like the stretch of good weather at Crankworx is coming to end. Solid bout of rain for the 1199 race, highly doubt Joyride will go ahead on Saturday.
