I got to ride with SAM MF HILL

i'm pretty blown away to have to say this to grown adults (i assume) in our forum, but every time someone trolls or says something you don't like, quoting it and explaining why it's lame/unsavory/kooky/political only makes the thing you dislike live on for days. in the history of the internet, has anyone ever changed their mind and said "you're right," after being challenged/critiqued/criticized/called out in a forum? not that i'm aware of. the garbage has been moderated for now. if you don't like something said here, use the thumbs down, move on, watch it die and it'll be forgotten...

(also posted this in 2024 team rumors) just posted interviews from MSA and some interesting things said in there. danny says he hasn't signed a contract yet, jordi says FOX is a big company and their budget is made. calendar specifics are unknown and if he needs more money to race, that may be difficult, wyn mentions spending time in USA, gwin mentions things announced in the next month or so. good stuff from the ground. https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/year-later-world-cup-downhill-racing-…

dak and joe's POV

He is doing well. He is out of the hospital with a couple broken ribs, but feeling good no concussion or anything. He is in good spirits.

Wishing those Jr's (Taylor O and Pinkerton) best wishes, no way to end the season or start a season, hope they rise up stronger than ever. healing vibes kids!

This is the exact info I've been looking for, being too lazy to actually calculate it myself. A tip of the hat to you.

At first I was a little put off by not offering qualifying and semi points, but I suppose they did that so that if the season is close (like it is) they wouldn't be awarding a championship for a quali or semi run. That being said it would have been even more interesting if they would have put all the points on the finals run. It would have made things a bit spicier! As it stands now it looks like Loic only controls his own destiny if he finishes in 2nd or better. Loris can take it home if he...

My 2cents. I raced the 'prototype' tire in Chatel, after testing it at home, and was extremely happy with it. It shrugged off some gross impacts and felt good doing it. I'm running DT Swiss so that might help too.

Warning. Vital MTB may cause stoke for downhill bikes. (did i just legally prove in the USA that downhill bikes are sick? ; )

https://mtvanhoevenberg.com/todo/uci-mountain-bike-world-cup/ The link to Lake Placid world cup event^^ It would be cool if the UCI approved the full old Whiteface course (assuming that’s on the the same hill) but the rulebook makes no concessions for a commissaire or other official to make exception to the 3.5km and 5 minute maximum/ 2 minute minimum course length.
