I’ve got Maven Base and Dominions. Not a lot of difference in power but the Dominion lever point doesn’t wander in and out as much. I like the Dominions better. The stupid Maven levers are slick like ice. Actually had my finger slip off on a steep turn and broke my face something good. I had to put grip tape on the levers. Looking forward to putting the Dominions on this newer bike once I have a chance.

Wait...You don't refer to yourself in the third person as "papa" when doing interviews as your company burns to the ground?

quick rip and then Q&A with elly hoskin, 2025 EDR World Champ

fwiw, adam (the "money guy backer") was at the venue every day moving lumber, signs, cords, spray paint, dirt, tools, boxes etc. he was covered in dirt like all the crew, in addition to hosting riders for meals and gatherings at his home. he was anything but hands-off.

We also don't have any idea whether or not that's all Yeti is contributing. Just because they made that public doesn't mean that's the extent of it. Same with Monster. Everyone is demanding to know how they're helping out. Red Bull doesn't post how much they spend on athlete injury expenses/rehab/etc when someone like Jackson or Finn or Gee or Emil gets injured, but obviously they continue helping out. Why is everyone automatically assuming Monster doesn't do the same?

V+R Racing is just two mere peasants (well, a nurse and a medical device engineer). When we started out in 2019 the two of us were just buying DH bikes for junior riders who needed them. Many seasons and many riders later, we had two world cup DH juniors in '25 with one finishing second overall and the other finishing 10th overall. We obviously can't afford our own team, but we can still be a hat/helmet sponsor. I'm still driving my 16 year old car - it just comes down to priorities for us. And we're proof it doesn't have...

Someone needs to talk to Reggie Miller about a team.

Tippie was in NWA quite a bit over the last couple of years as part of YT events. Everything said on that writeup is true. He's unflagging in his positivity and stoke. He includes everyone and interact with everyone from the kookiest kid to the most seasoned pro. He's almost uncomfortably positive and full of stoke at times, but a brand really couldn't ask for a better ambassador. I hope he lands somewhere. Dude is a legend, and his story of climbing out of the dark depths of addiction is inspirational.

Bernard Bernard Bernard Yawn yawn yawn Y’all call him out if you have a problem. Canyon enduro is done and specialised. Most enduro is done. Enduro with WBD will be done by 27. Finished, finito. Sacha Ernest to yeti?

Sounds like pivot may need to part ways with BK if they want their admittedly great bike to see any success

435 chainstay across the board... Brian Cahal has left the chat

Oh come on it’s lighter and my 5 yro one up v2 is working smooth ever since I got it

Isn't the general consensus that Dominions are a smidge more powerful than Codes, but not at the level of the new, powerful stuff?

To quote the special one: If I speak, I am in trouble
