at least flo is showing entire elite field w/ raw audio right now. rory kirk's rear tire wasn't about to go through another scrub, so it left the bike mid run. gutted, wanted to see the race day move!

Well Rory seemingly outright calls himself a free racer. A term often given to Brendog, Theo, Kaos, Kade, etc. It's worth noting a lot of freeriders start in racing and a lot of racers have a significant freeride background. Just natural crossover. Brage and Remy used to race. Greg apparently has a really understated free ride background... Obviously Asa can flip. I'm not sure which current riders have a deeper BMX background the way Kade did. Also a lot of racers ride moto in the off season, naturally. Like MOST of them it seems. Won't even name them all. In...

minnaar heelclicker at rampage 2003 - no more freeride than that LOL

RORY BUBBA KIRK

there never needs to be another MTB scrub done ever again. HOLY CRAP!

eat your heart out! lawlor is there today doing some slowmo too. should be good

Cannot get over the Rory Kirk scrub clips. Insanity.

I'd like to propose a UCI rule change dictating that the Trek Unbroken senior men's team members must wear their World Champs national kits year-round to help me tell which one is which.

my VPN be like "Konichiwa bitches!"

dunno if im supposed to be feeling anything about gopro 'highlights'. is it a lines thing or just editing for fast sections cuz... these riders are producing more than 60 seconds worth of watchable footage lets not kid ourselves. idk. weird. maybe im just salty at gopro cuz i will always be.

last year had 40 elite women and 80 men. assuming the same this year? https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/news/results-2025-uci-mtb-dh-world-champi…

Vital RAW from today - speeds picking up for sure.

There's more XC than DH in this one, but it's still rad to get a feel for the event as a whole:

I'm a big believer in climate change, but the main climate impact of the World Cup circuit isn't plastic course tape. And how many rolls of course tape does it even take to tape off the track? Ten, maybe? Definitely less than 20, even if you're taping all the B-zones, too. There's more petroleum in the tires that get used in a weekend. Getting rid of course tape feels like a charade to make it look like someone in the organization is thinking about the climate, but its obvious that the climate hasn't factored into any other part of the...

gotta hand it to canyon, when it comes to aesthetics they are hard to beat. Their bikes and kit almost always look slick and clean.
