Linkage forks will never work. They look stupid and can’t be made cheap or light. I’ve been drinking come at me haha

Spaniard here, love me some Dak. His insights on B-podcast play a big part of the World Cup season. For me he embodies the American Cool, the good things about the US. But I understand the criticism, he is indeed getting older for DH and perhaps doesnt have the dame appeal for young fans as other riders. still, I do hope he gets a good team, gets the elusive win and rides into the sunset with his girl and his dog.

I encourage you to have an opinion, I just think if you’re going to scrutinise the guy publicly you should atleast be accurate in your reasoning. I hope where ever he ends up it’s somewhere good, he is always the top of my list of guys I want to see win the race, intense would be a good outcome - he talks openly about how much he enjoyed that bike.

Look maybe you have a point but chatting shit about Dak on Vital is just such bad manners. We don’t do that here

First things first, It wasnt on a pit bike. Secondly you can get hurt doing anything in life.. that’s life. And thirdly if you’d listened to any of his pod casts last year you would have heard him speak about the meltdowns himself and discuss how he has grown as a person and doesn’t do this anymore. Before you criticise the guy atleast have a small understanding of what you’re criticising.

Plot twist.. His next bike might not have a stack that measures in the negatives..

The forum has spoken.. Dak truly has an international fan base of at least 1 person in many countries.. Your loss, Mondraker. You had a global star that represents the hard working people of the world and you dropped him.. So, besides a bike and sealant sponsor, we need to find Dak some outside the industry money.. I'm thinking he could bank with a good hair product care deal.. But, in all seriousness, I hope Dak finds a good deal for next season.

I root for Dak more than anyone in the field. Not because he is American. I like his story. Getting into the sport later in life. Grinding as a privateer. Coming from a humble background and a part of the world far from any DH trails. And then, sort of like Benoit, just improving year after year to the point that he was one slippery turn from winning the rainbow stripes. Now after a massive injury he got back to 4th place on 1.5 legs. Insane. I like his style too, sneaky smooth and smart racecraft. At MSA I thought...

Big Dak fan. Not an American. I cheer for the Canadians because that's where I'm from. Beyond that I'm in it for the stories and the personalities. Dak is definately both of those

Have you seen the dude throw flatties on his warm up laps? You hate Dak you hate yourself. Gimme a break, he’s a star of the sport.

He liked a picture of my dog on IG so he gets some love from this Scottish guy

I realize you're just trying to be a dick or french or both, but that's not at all the sentiment to anyone paying attention to World Cup downhill. Riders, fans and the media have been nothing but positive about him coming back this year.

Another Dak fan, also not American.

Same. Big Dak guy, not American.

Sorry no, I'm a fan also and I'm not American.

Where does the podium use roller bearings?!

They also covered the YT logo on her race bike with a RockShox one.
