If they don't want people practicing on the taped course, then they need to close it down or disallow it in the rulebook. Otherwise... these are professional athletes whose livelihoods depend on performance. They are going to seek every advantage they can, regardless of whether it's against the "spirit" of the sport or not. Same thing is happening at Big Mountain Enduro right now, with several professional teams already at Mt. Nebo this past weekend. The courses aren't taped yet, but everyone knows what the courses will be, so it's a pretty big advantage to get multiple extra days. Regardless...

4/26/2024 10:15pm Career suicide to come out and say, our fresh new brake sponsor aint that good. To be fair I have never heard of this brand. Could be great. I know people that ride knock off chinese carbon rims and they.... work. If they truly are trickstuffs then more power to them.

StudBeefpile Added a reply to Scrubs are slower then squashing: My MTB hot take
4/26/2024 10:13pm Yeah that is a fair point. Seems like a lot of the time you see guys landing with the back slightly stepped out, which does cost speed and can make it harder to get a good pump out of the landing. This all came about because I have been watching a ton of MX this winter. Hearing those guys obsess...

LOL @Scrub fantastic debate @StudBeefpile just because of potential imagery alone. https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/Who-Scrubbed-It-Best-Leogang-World-Cu… - 2019 scrub-a-thon eliot at whipoff from 2014 or something filmed with a casio point and shoot before iphone slowmo it seems like lanky, long-legged riders like minnaar or benoit do the best squashes. a short-legger can only squash so much, right?

100% disagree with your take, simply because in an ideal scrub the bike is still perfectly in line with the direction of movement. A whip for sure will slow you down, and that is what your "bike on a car rack" analogy corresponds to. Frixtalon + dark googles + scrub is just how I picture myself every ride, despite actually doing a weak turnbar on an ebike wearing prescription glasses in a 3/4 helmet.

4/26/2024 2:22pm There are several key parts of a bike that I won't cheap out on. Brakes are almost at the top of that list. I can not fathom how terrifying it must be as a WC racer to get handed something like this. "We'd like you to go risk life and limb in our name. Also, here are some knock off...

4/25/2024 4:09pm Yeah you have a good point there Spomer. Man that jump was the only good thing about the old Leogang course. Some may not call that a scrub but it made for the best pics. Would have to give it to Mitch on that one.

I know everyone puts out good content these days, but Commencal just gets it. They support people who are fast but have cool stories, and then hire people like Drew to tell those stories in a way that gets you hyped to ride bikes. The best!

StudBeefpile Started a new thread Scrubs are slower then squashing: My MTB hot take
4/24/2024 9:53pm Is a mtb "scrub" slower than squashing a jump? Scrubbing involves throwing your bike sideways in the air, which creates a ton more drag than keeping it straight. A single jump might not make that big of an impact, but it could add up on a longer section of track, like Fort Bill's motorway. I have a ton of anecdotal...
