Just want to say big thanks to Vital for the coverage. This fantasy format has me more engaged than ever, watching all the Raw's and trackwalks, paying attention through quali,and semi's, adjusting strategy, making changes to my squad all weekend. Just stoked, big props to all that make it happen!

Asa confirming on PB insta that it was NOT an official's red flag, rather a fan with a "red beer flag" and it was his mistake. BRUTAL. assuming his gopro showed the reality

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...

so there's a video that's not mine to post, but it has been guinea-pigged. not sure when that stuff will hit the airwaves (has it already? i haven't looked at insta in a while). the rider OJ'd a tiny bit and rode out easily, but the jump seems to work fine. as most here have said however, it's probably not about the jump not working...it's the what-ifs of something going wrong on the way to the jump. a bernard headtube dismemberment on the g-out at the bottom of the ramp? tire going flat? pedal slip? random shit happens and nothing...

I personally never even looked or had interest in any type of sport fantasy league game play. But if it had to do with MTB, I was surely gonna dip my toes into the game. My first go with Ft. Bill was a learning curve to see how much time and depth I had to invest in the riders I chose. Not fully knowing the details of the game I didn't change a few riders that didn't even qualify, but I was still content with the riders that I did choose and they all did fairly well. With the amount...

It appears you won… but you must also live with the shame of knowing you did so by betraying the people’s champion, Stak Norton, by leaving him off your team.

New Motion Instruments gizmos: https://motioninstruments.com/products/system-2 Cheaper than before but also has some limitations (e.g. won't work w/ EXT forks, which probably means it won't work w/ Manitou either).

I like the giant team rosters, but not sure about being able to change them after qualis and semis. Just because suddenly you only have a handful of riders left to choose and the correct move is to buy as many of the top 10 semi finishers as possible. I feel like we need to have that horrible feeling of your top dog, super strategy falling apart when qualis don't go your way!

5th place is nuts! way to go! i'll double-check with our techs, but sometimes there may be multiple results scenarios to get "best team" but only one is presented on the screen. not sure if that's the case with this race, however. if the actual race results were different, top riders elite riders could have been the way to go, too, though. the amount of top elite men not in finals was a really fun/interesting curveball. regardless, it was a hoot. going forward having higher dollar values for riders could make sense. i had 21 riders on my team. that's...

Thanks for the hard work on this! Was fun to try and work out the meta. I almost had it…I think it’s unfortunate that selecting the “best” team (highest pt potential) for this round couldn’t have any of the likely winners from Men’s or Women’s Elite selected to have a shot. Seems like you guys were open to making changes...

That’s strange, I didn’t watch it live, not getting up that early, but watching on max was phenomenal. No issue with the audio here. Best WC track coverage I’ve ever seen in 15+ years of watching WC dh. Honestly really hoping that they keep this level of track coverage up for the rest of the year, I wish that qualifying and semi’s were on yesterday but I’ll take it. Hopefully it stays free for existing max customers, one less thing to pay for…

Streaming on Max in the US was a mixed bag. Nice to see almost the entire track on footage. The audio was jacked up the entire time though. Desynchronized with the video when it worked (commentators spoiling crashes 5 seconds before they happened), and then intermittently muted, and then just gone for the final 4 or so runs. I enjoyed...
