My guess is because so many brands will sell you a super-enduro bike: 170-180mm travel bike marketed as pedal friendly mini-DH bike. But there is a good point made here that the geo on DH bikes isn't quite the same as the latest and greatest super-enduro bikes.

I completely agree. I see enduro and DH frames morphing into the same thing with different components hung off them. After all they are built to do the same job - getting down a hill as fast as possible. DH bikes just don't need to pedal back up.

One more thing to add to my tale. I hope that with longer lead times, the MTB industry will spread out "model updates" from their pre-pandemic average of every three-ish years to five-to-seven years. I really think that everyone will need bikes to stay "relevent" to thier needs for longer if they are to stay in the sport.

Everything is weird and mostly awful out there, but nice to have Vital Raw and slideshows back.

Thanks Blade! Bike checks seem more an more diluted nowadays so I really wanted to do something extremely in-depth. Thanks, Paul

Downduro is just cultural appropriation of mid 2000's freeride

This conversation is always going to be difficult as people are all over the place globally with very different interpretations of "local" (to me my favourite spot "Blausasc" isn't really "local" even though is a 30 minute drive away...). Add to this different regulations of "Recos" and pre-riding I can't claim anyone is right or wrong overall. What I am specifically against is riding the week of the race, often with a view to opening new lines or even finding shortcuts. As Jeff said, the biggest issue is that there are no role models: juniors and amateurs started this here...

A few of you have mentioned dadlife and mid-pack and /gasp/ being 35 years old (me too) so perhaps we should all keep this in perspective? You are there to ride your own race. What the teenage kid gets to do is out of your control. I'll be at work all week and see y'all in the parking lot Friday night in prep for the Saturday morning session.

Three thoughts by someone who has a fictional serial killer as their avatar: 1.) People with more resources and less integrity will always have an advantage in competition. 2.) It's amusing that mid pack pro means suckage, you're in the 99th percentile of all mammals on a space rock who can ride bikes. 3.) It's nice to have a low number next to your name on a piece of paper and maybe even get a cheap trophy but there is probably more actual reward in learning how to not define our (GO TEAM 35!!!) middle age self worth by performance...
