I think Gwin set a good example this year for riders that are looking to retire out. Obviously Gwin's name/history carries alot of weight and his riding is still right up there with the best on a good day. I have a feeling we will see several other riders follow in his footsteps moving forward. Keep em' on the roster for branding/name recognition (+ Merch sales), let them race the venues of their choice with more focus on local tracks (- travel expenses), and leverage their most valuable asset, experience. ( + priceless)

https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/fox-factory-announces… There ya' have it. This is corporate speak for "we fired Mike". I can only assume they read this forum and saw the scathing replies to the Marucci deal.

At least Lemoine is still alive.

"Loyalty is what comes to mind... with YT" Well, that makes one of us.

So back to the XC World cup in Utah...yeah, wow. Watch it. Spoiler alert: It's awesome. But I'm a bit partial. It's cool to see the top riders on terrain I can actually relate to. Sage brush and pine trees, and that dirt (I can actually smell it, yeah, I'm a nerd, aren't we all?). So familiar! Compared to what they're doing in Euroland. For once I feel like i can relate. Never once have I watched a WC XC race and be like, "yeah, I'd hit that". HA. I'd hit that. Just not 9 laps of it. :D And...

Keep your eyes peeled on Monday and you might see a fresh Loic Bruni interview.

Race was super fun as a spectator. Kids had a great time. May not be the best track but some more Rocky Mountain/West coast races where you get to see top riders is awesome. Good vibes in the woods.

This is cool IMO. That zone has seen hundreds or thousands of riders digging, riding and filming at that spot since the very first rampage. Will be interesting to see what the builders do for this area and the riders do to have some unique and bigger hits there. This actually makes me excited for Rampage for the first time in a long time.

Sometimes you have to go too far to know that you’ve gone too far enough.

Seems like Lenz has decided to make a 32er in the same spirit of the first 29er. When will they learn!!!

I was going to make a post about the core Lenz customer being a boomer suspicious of tubeless tires and dropper posts, but I thought better of it. Then I happened upon a boomer posting theirs with a rigid post. And I'm back because my soul is sour and withered.

Speaking of Luca...someone tell him Congats. Could not be happier for him! Has me blocked on IG. Whatever it was, I'm sure deserve it.

Bizutch is a real dude who appears to be himself on here. Gotta respect him for that! 👊

How much of the appearance that “e-bikes are the only thing selling” is an artificial bubble based on the fact that they are a market that essentially did not exist 6-7 years ago? Thus, we are still working through the initial phase of: everyone who is interested buying into the market (often for the first time) looks like greater demand than what will stabilize over the ensuing 5-10 years. I imagine over time as there are less ‘new’ buyers and the demand becomes only individuals turning over from an older model to a newer one that e-bike sales actually drop...
