The Syndicate needed a solid, consistent top 10 male rider to back up Jackson. Kolb will provide that, along with Nina to rack up the points for the team overall whilst Jackson battles the Alran brothers and Asa for race wins.

Personally, I would just rather ride 2-3 times a week on my e-bike, doing multiple laps on my favorite trails. Versus one or maybe two rides a week on non-e-bike, doing 1 lap and being smoked. This was e-bike ride this morning 15miles, 3,500ft elevation gain.

Young Master Goldstone is car shopping?

Norco should be in production soon.

Nice, been looking forward to riding that bike since I loved the range.

Wherever the relationship is now (seems healthy enough) its undeniable it wasnt at least a little bit dodgy. Adult team manager getting romantically involved with team member he signed when she was underage. I think it being called out somewhat isn't necessarily a bad thing so that sort of shit doesn't become normalised.

So… just info I’ve heard on the Yeti special project DH. Only one size has been developed so far. All racers on one are on same frame. Still undecided if it will ever see production but it’s still a possibility. Whole project was built around Rude(which I think most know) It’ll be interesting to see what is to come. Nice finally seeing that the demo is nearer to production ready! Always hope Yeti will release. Norco too.

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

Main piston is shimmed for compression and rebound in all Push shocks, the adjuster uses a coil spring backed valve with no shims and adjustable preload for HSC. The standard bomber CR also uses a spring backed valve but its a very stiff belleville washer instead of a coil, and no shims either. At a distance they have similar basic architecture but the actual execution is very different Some kind of preloaded valve usually works well at the base valve - its rare to see a regular unpreloaded shimstack in the reservoir. It helps maintain back pressure on the main...

I think that Cornelius has completely outclassed Fox in the Upsidedown fork space. Options, quality, weight, price, reliability, performance, etc. Intend wins on every aspect. What the Podium did for me, is make me really interested in the Intend...

Hopefully a "full time filmer" means a move away from BK's motion sickness inducing wildly wave the camera around style of edits.

My two cents. I like watching “second tier” riders right along side the pointy end dudes. Especially when you get to see a rider develop over a few seasons. The rider that starts to qualify more regularly, then becomes a top 15-20 dude, then top 10, and finally a podium threat. I like to see this on the same courses as Loic and Jackson, it gives me scale. I love WC racing, I pay to watch. I am not going to suddenly start paying close attention to IXS Cups. I’ll look at the results of a Monster Energy Series race...

I'm not 100% opposed to that idea, but I think it comes with a few caveats. A shorter final will make for a better media product, but overall worse for us hardcore fans. That would have to come with Youtube live Q2, so you can still have a chance to watch your favorite riders. And the tracks would have to be more difficult with impressive features if you're really trying to catch the barely interested TV viewer. Then you will need more non-endemic sponsors because Larry watching channel 23 doesn't give a shit about which suspension brand offers the most...

Hot take: we need less elites in finals (for men). I'd vote for 20 Elite Men, 15 (and eventually 20) Elite Women in Finals. Maybe not right this moment, but eventually. The current package is already a long watch, and they still don't capture entire runs of every rider. I think there is lot of potential with less racers to hone in on elevating each racers notoriety; potential to adjust the schedule to minimize track degradation and allow for safer speed increases throughout a weekend; and hopefully more money paid across the entire field. These changes feel very dependent on...

All we wanted was televised Q1/2 what is this nonsense

They were scheduling juniors for TV slots? It was already an afterthought. But seriously, this is bad unless they have legitimate plans to support feeder systems. Where do talented kids get to prove themselves and experience racing like what it will be at the big show?

I would never want a pros bike.
