There are ads during peacock's live broadcast of the supercross races too. However, they only air commercials between heat races, last change qualifiers and 250/450 main events, not during actual racing. Sure, they could be interviewing people or do ... more »

Whoa there, let some of us answer your question first.... No, this thread hasn't changed my mind. Mind bomb.

In the angling world, Shimano has what they call "DC" braking for baitcaster reels. It's basically a tiny magnetic power generator that also uses the magnets to to activate braking during a cast (to control line speed.) You can watch a short youtube ... more »

How does one in the US get anything from Chikadeehill?

Visionary marketing does lead the market because visionary marketers understand the true needs of the market. They see an unspoken and unfilled or unsatisfactorily filled demand in the market. Back in Henry Ford's day, I bet most people didn't even say ... more »

No industry in the world makes a change before the market has a demand for that change. If a large enough piece of the market wants bikes that are durable, user-friendly and easily repaired then some company in the industry will do it. If a bike like ... more »

I wonder if there are so few rumors due to most teams deciding the re-sign their current racers. Perhaps with how crazy the supply chains have been, they don't want any more "uncertainty" by signing new racers.

Mick surely is a fan favorite, and has had an amazing career. I still remember pictures of him doing Sui-No-Handers over finish lines were my favorite part of race coverage in the 2000's. Though, I'm not sure he will do much for up and coming Aussie ... more »

How tall is a "taller" rider?

Just Listened to the Downtime Podcast with Aaron Gwin. Very near the end he mentions new sponsors for this year. He's still on Intense, so what could he have changed up? Maybe he is back with Onza Tires or a new drive-train?

Yesterday, Cam Zink's Instagram story featured a KHS dh bike, could that be his new frame sponsor? Sorry, I didn't get a screenshot in time.

Swing and a miss for me. Whitley ran 23 Degrees. And to think math was my strong point in

Wasn't Martin Whitley's athlete management company called 21 Degrees Racing or something like that? Maybe he is the owner of this Commencal 21 team. If so, will he still be involved with the YT Mob?

True. I was looking at the Specialized Gravity team's Facebook page before I posted, and none of the Bruni photos I saw had a good view of his google strap. Most had his arm covering them. All the pics with a clear view of a google strap were of Finn ... more »

Specialized was on Fox last year for eyewear and clothing. So either the team changed to match Vali, she is going somewhere besides specialized or staying put with a new frame sponsor.

Fox surely wants to promote both brands, but not as competing brands. Seems thier approach is to promote Fox for racing and Marzocchi for freeride.

Well, if you worried about balance, and willing to fork out the money to get a new fork, why not just buy a coil shock that will give you the same travel as the air shock?

As I understand it, the patent refers to the relation between the bottom bracket and where the axis of the seat tube meets the down tube, not the seat tube angle. See my illustration (red shows the angles and placing that is protected by the patent.

Where on the shoulders? Is it on the ends or next to you neck? Are you shrugging to any degree, trying to just relax them, or push them toward the ground (I've also heard that motion referred to as "packing.") I don't think reach is a number to focus ... more »
