Update... Sold my bikes and bought a Shadowcat. Best bike I've ever owned.

Speaking of prototypes, in the vital pit bits the Santa Cruz mechanic dished out a ton of new Saint details. 12spd chain, 8spd microspline cassette. Must be close to release...

Took the below photo of Asa's bike with what I think is a prototype TRP caliper, cant recall if its been posted before apologies if it has.

Hell yes. And this was qualifying day. Pound an extra beer for the vital forums, this is so sick!

I absolutely love it.

Probably the most relaxed interviews I’ve seen from Gracey

I greatly appreciate the level of maturity and tech geek here, but none of it really changes the fact that Scott uses the worst fucking bearings on these bikes.

If there has ever been a time for a Danny Hart comeback, this is it Cmon Danny!

criminal shame this run was before the more modern coverage. wasn't it the very next year that Warner started doing freecaster stuff? has anybody ever tried to compile every single clip of sams run into one video? i just feel like there were almost no clips given... the time in history and the weather.

Or Sam Hill Champery in 2007. This mid 2000s era was arguably peak DH.

Dang - when mud guards are more of a liability than a benefit

If one rider can make a Danny Hart Champery style run out of it - it will be worth it for sure

So it's a downhill foot race now? I would tend to say just cancel. It doesn't look fun to do and sure isn't much fun to watch.

omg it didnt continue to rain through enough... its drying out after pissing down. there may be no track left by tomorrow... jeez

This is WILD

Up there among the GOATs:

Let me know if I'm figuring something wrong here, but: If Vali Höll places 5th or higher in the final she clinches the Overall with 2 races remaining. This was her 4th time this year leading Q1 qualifying. She won the other 3 races after doing that. Jonty Williamson needs just 70 points over the next 3 races - including tomorrow's final - to win the Junior men's Overall. (He's averaging about 52 points per race.) With Lina Frener (2nd place in the standings) missing this race, Aletha Ostgaard is in the driver's seat, holding a 75 point lead over...
