Please do tell me how IFR took advantage of Dak. I don't know the facts of the contract. So enlighten us on how they "Took advantage of it." since you know so much. That's a heavy accusation.

I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and wanting to add to the pot for the Shorts Bounty. So rad!! But for now we are just going to keep it to the $250 we will put up. However, since we started doing the Burgtec Labour of Love award this year with the podcast, many have chimed in wanting to donate additional funds. I'd rather people help out with that award because it goes to riders who are often up-and-coming and need the money most to continue chasing the dream. So with that said, I'll look into options for next season for people to...

4.3.011 says you can wear short pants with the proper knee and shin protection. you do have to have a long sleeve jersey though. Pants Long pants or short pants combined with suitable knee and shin protection are authorised. Such long or short pants should be of a type that is specifically designed and sold for use in BMX Racing or Mountain Bike downhill events.

Short pants...

Organizing any union is a tough thing to do. A union will almost always benefit all participants in the long run, but the short term incentives are not always there. Like you all said, the big money riders stand to benefit from a reduced field in the short term. However, every rider would benefit in the long-term from increased rider input in schedule changes, format changes, track selection and design, track safety, emergency/evacuation planning, rider pay, and everything else that riders complain about year after year. But it's tough getting people to trust each other and volunteer to give up...

Nico, ACC, Cedric, Pascal, ALL of the Aussies, Greg.....the 90's had F*CK tons of jrs that went on to be senior assassins. Another cool chart would be to see of the Jrs that crush it as Jrs, and where they go as seniors, because, time has shown very few go on to huge elite success. Are they getting "faster" perhaps, is the amount of them more than ever? perhaps. As for Asa, I sure wish people would just let him be himself and do what he's gonna do. So many people with the rap of "just you wait, he's gonna...

The broadcast SUUUUCKED this year. Drones suck for watching DH. Also the one shot they had of the rocks uptop was from below the trail so you could only see the upper body of the rider. Thought about this more. There using drones in the wrong way. Doing a follow cam with a drone makes it near impossible to see all the small movements and line choice that the riders are making. Which is the most interesting thing in DH racing. But the upside of drones is we can get them into all kinds of places that we can't get...

I can fully confirm the Junior X send/sketch strategy! That pole I marshalled at was just fine and dandy until that pimple faced train of anarchy came through. They all tested the limits of traction & huckability. Really regret not setting my GoPro up there. Side saddle down the f-ing rocks off into the woods. Launching to nose vert landers and riding it out. One HIT the tree at the base of the drop, grenaded, women screamed in horror & he just reassembled like a Transformer and ran his bike up the bank. Honestly worst class to watch was Cat...

I’d buy a “big Dak energy” shirt

I think it's one of the Canyon teams that has " R I D E " pasted over their butts and I would like to vote that as the worst kit (or best... hard to say)

Looks like another quality DT product, I'm just glad you dented it. A DH rim test without dents is a sham.
