@sspomer @shredder_schroeder can we get a debrief podcast of your guys experience- what you saw, heard, take away, etc. I think it would be interesting to hear you guys take, being media squids (respectfully). Especially looking at Jason’s experience in Europe from when he was racing to now, what he felt. Literally everything. Plz.

After watching world cups for years it was a total treat to get to whiteness it in person. Took the gondola up and walked down the course stopping to spectate any chance we could get. What a race, what a venue and what a crowd. Hearing the roar come down the mountain with each rider was something special.

"the Motul-lubed Flight Attendant fork on that Scott sure seems to be working well!" Just rolls off the tongue.

9/26/2026 7:50pm What a day, what a sport. Big fan of Johnny Helly now. He did an amazing move in the zone I was watching that blew my mind. There were two lines and he decided to split the middle hucking off a rock in the middle 3 feet in the air. Amazing to watch.

If they did a team replica now it would be at the end of (very long) life cycle for the components that the team uses. I expect there will be a team replica in the first half of next year 😉

For the full review, please put a lot of comparison to the other big hitters like the V10, Demo8, Frameworks, Commencal etc. At least that is what I am most interested in

"From afar, the Team DH resembles the Range - the bike Norco used as a stepping stone to enter World Cup racing again. Norco appreciated the Range's rearward axle path, but the four-bar linkage limited how much travel was possible before the progression went above their desired levels. A high main pivot and idler wheel remain, but other than that, it's an entirely new linkage system." Range was a 4 bar, the Team DH is a 6 bar.

MiniPod takeaways: Whoever tattled on DNorton must have bad hair or low bars. Hater of the year nom! Hearing him talk about Whistler was great. I’ve watched a few vlogs of riders just crewing up and roasting these trails together, same as for you and me. That’s what it’s all about. The whole thing. Whistler is the heart of this shit, it’s the best! Even if you suck, you’re having the time of your life too and sharing the same lifts and beers and all that. Hyped. Enjoy!!!

After five years of developing, testing, and racing, Norco has finally released its new downhill bike, appropriately named the Team DH. They started with their Range enduro bike, evolved on its high pivot design with some additional links, prototyped a bunch of frames in different materials, and then had its legitimacy proven by their factory team. Much of the process of creating the Team DH has happened in plain sight, so if you've been following along, what has become production may not be a huge surprise. But the fact that Norco is releasing the exact bike their factory team is...

Current conditions on Fitz side - fairly dry in woods, wet in open, not raining, some sun coming out. Also Spomer’s new album cover.
