pretty cool look into the South Korean scene with Sascha Kim (seemed fitting for this thread)

Luke Meier-Smith's winning run from Lake Placid (on his channel...did this go up closer to the race?)

Pretty sure it's a joke, mocking the NST tour that happened down there for holding an event, and delaying results and media coverage.

start a new freaking thread if you want to talk about that stuff.

Bernard Kerr with the single down vote 😂. Thanks

Good signing by Pivot... But i am little bit worried about Dylan in that Team.....

Yeah, same here. Bottom line is, to date, that team is not good enough for Maples. So let's hope they step up the support and professionalism

Will be interesting contrast for Dylan going from what looks like one of the most professional teams to what looks like the most unprofessional. The Pivot DH bike does look pretty sick. If Dylan can put his head down and not get caught up in team drama he should be good.

I heard Trump is trying to buy him....

Good lord this thread is cooked

Anyone see the Crestline in the background of Daks story?

And this from Josh too ….ooo a bit of a huck a buck there Again almost every rider. It becomes too much Bring back Rob and pair Rob with Rachael Atheron , there’s a commentary team

I am not one to dis someone but that guy is sooooo annoying announcing DH. He seems perfect for the pits and maybe in corral post race but commentating he is super in accurate with what he is saying - ____ ALMOST OUT THE FRONT DOOR every 3rd rider. The nonsense that dribbles out of him is just an embarrassment. It's gotta be crazy hard but they need to replace him. Rewatching all the races from 2025 and if my wife is the room I have to put headphones so she doesnt have listen to him!

Prince andrew to pivot?

Keep an eye on Australian Giant rider Sasha Kim’s instagram as he looks at the scene in South Korea.

Resident Korean resident here 1. Things to do on bikes... RIDE!!! The race weekend is also the start of the bike park season locally. There are three parks within an hour of each other, two within five minutes. Alpensia Bike Park is literally right next to Yongpyong. The parks here a different from Europe, smaller and still growing. Wellihilli is further west at lower altitude and has fun runs. You could also ride in/near Seoul. We ride year round here and the outskirts of Seoul have some fantastic singletrack. Even some rock slabs with epic views on the eastern edge...

At this point in this big ol shit salad of a MTB industry, I'm happy to see any rider who puts it all on the line get a ride.

Exactly. I’m a fan of the rider first, it doesn’t really matter what team they are on.

People lose jobs, investors taking a bath, people ordering bikes that never arrive, riders without a team etc the audacity to call people keyboard warriors is wild lmao. YT literally FUCKED OVER countless people but sure, call us keyboard warriors.

You gotta pay to produce the best marketing content they have? That seems a bit backwards.
