10/27/2023 8:10am I once saw the specialized gravity team doing practice laps at crestline and got a picture with Loic. Pretty sure we're best friends now. My friends and I rebuilt telonics and PG's a few days before the MadCats Iron Horse team showed up to film for Earthed 4. Hill, Rennie and Atkinson and I are still best friends even though...

I accidentally hit my front wheel into Rémy Métaillers rear tire in the lift line, I said sorry, he didn't hear me and moved forward. I think it qualifies me to share his political views now

10/25/2023 8:42pm it appears that only 2 of Vail's 8 resorts have a bike park, Whistler and Northstar. Northstar is my home resort and I can definitely say the summer bike park dollars wouldn't be even close to winter dollars.

First rule of frame design, ignore marketing crap. Compare a whole bunch of different designs in Linkage and realize that everyone is slowly converging on the same thing. The window of preferred anti-squat and leverage ratios is narrowing in on roughly 100% anti-squat at sag and a LR of 20-25% linear progression starting around 2.8 to 3.0. Anti-rise seems to still be down to designer tastes or a compromise of the chosen linkage platform / shock location. The more time you spend in Linkage the more you realize everything has already been done...and thus why the window of optimized designs...

10/19/2023 10:24am I thought Gwin owned a piece of IFR? I could definitely see Dak moving on, maybe even going to specialized replacing Finn.

Read on UCI IG comments, I thought it was hilarious: "2026 schedule is just Loic doing solo runs at home while being followed by a drone flown by Cedric" It might even finally become a Toyota commercial...

10/14/2023 7:33am Did the same when I bought my Stumpy, didnt need it sent to a local shop as I'm more than capable of building a bike on my own but wanted to build a relationship with the shop and wanted them to make couple bucks.

Cool to learn a little more about Dylan, looks like he's made a ton of progress in a short time. Best of luck to him in the future, look forward to seeing some more results. IMO, the hardest trail at northstar is TNT. Don't discount the wrestling background, it's absolutely best sport to develop balance skills and mental toughness.

At the risk of being downvoted his form this season is poor with plenty of younger riders and privateers more focused, driven and having a better attitude to training, racing, etc Dean is siting way back in 83 position in the World Cup Series this year. Hasn't qualified for any of the finals, only qualified for 2 semis this season and he wasn't selected for the Australian World Champs Team due to poor form/attitude. The UCI rankings only use the results in the last 12 months and currently he has no UCI points as his performance in the last 12...

9/7/2023 1:20pm Speaking of Sam Hill, I thought he was going to race the entire DH World Cup calendar but haven't seen him since the first round. Anybody know what's up with him?

9/6/2023 6:22pm lol, vital mtb dating rumors thread initiated! I see BK really trying to include Jenna more and more into his YT even to the point she has her own channel. BK seems like a really shrewd guy, i just see him trying to push into the female market and what better way to do that than with a female rider.
