The twins splitting is something I've actually heard before. Surprising but if the offers are there, then why not eh? On another note, here are some photos of a few of the "park" features on the Korea track. Frank Pardal says he'll be doing a track preview Wednesday!

lol even worse. i had only meant against the apparent 'false accusation' or whatever. the initial incident. but ya surely theres nothing to threaten there since he clearly did SOMETHING wrong even if it wasnt as bad as many assume. i also feel like nobody in the pits is on his side? like nobody has had the feeling 'hes such a good guy i cant imagine its true so i still talk to him' or something. not that i know anything for sure. its telling nobody is tempted to touch that with a ten foot pole when hes clearly still...

I was on board with the 'lets not pass judgement with no information' thing with Daprela... Until he made that post where he was like 'the internet needs to stop bullying me because "everything has been handled" Or whatever he said. Like... He worded it VERY specifically to never actually say 'i didnt do anything wrong' lol. The only thing he spoke definitively about is how the internet has to be nicer to him. At that point, even if completely innocent, he comes off like a whiny, entitled brat. To my knowledge he never went on the defensive of saying...

I’m sorry, but Daprela doesn’t ‘deserve’ anything. Racing at a World Cup level is a privilege not a right. It’s beyond just being fast, you also need to have certain aspects of professionalism and be enjoyable to be around. Regardless of what actually happened in the ‘incident’, his continued behavior in the aftermath is uncouth and any team should be hesitant for that alone.

Another Dak fan, also not American.

Same. Big Dak guy, not American.

Finn Iles to Norco.

If Dak could go to Norco that would be my top choice personally. They seem to be as committed as any team could be.

Mondraker for the consistency. Norco with Greg or Crestline with Aaron? I think any of those would be fired up to have a healthy and fit Dak for 2026 and hopefully beyond.

I don't want Dak to go to Pivot

LOL, The current V10 is only two years old, and was engineered with many options examined. If they’d wanted the current V10 to look like a Nomad, it would. That looks way more like a Park/Freeride model than a DH rig.

Yup they will reduce your travel around a few of mm, and your ohlins bumper will compress most of the way down. Its stiffer than most but they are quite good, when they are too soft they don't absorb enough energy which gets transferred to your frame and thats really bad. So they are kind of supposed to prevent you reaching the very end of the travel because its impossible to stop it compressing at the very last fraction of a mm in a smooth way that wouldn't feel harsh. You really shouldn't and don't need to be using those...

Depending on the density, it can limit. But you are talking about 1-2mm maybe. I remember fluid Focus posting something I think where their bump still was almost flat.

He was on a trek ! Went on the lift with him . At the momet I tought he was already on that team

Where does the podium use roller bearings?!

Shoutout to the dumpster diving tech detectives! Considering his issues Ronan should consider inserts. Easier to get used to riding with them than avoiding flats in race runs.

Holy hell, what a season! So stoked for Jackson to deliver under immense pressure and for Marine to quietly continue kicking ass. Amazing to see Dak at the very pointy end of things and Americans taking 3 of the top 5 spots at MSA!!! It's been the best season for Maxxis that I can remember during my decade and a half with the brand. We had 13 Elite wins out of a possible 20 available and 4 World Champs medals including a podium sweep of the Elite Men's category. Start adding in Junior results and those from enduro and it...

Congrats to Jacko, Vali and all the Riders for a wonderful World Cup. I dont know if the powers that be ever read Vital - i do hope so, but in any case I'm gonna leave It out there: WBD and the UCI have to come up with some sort of symbol or sign for the Overall Winners to wear It on the sleeve, chest or elsdwhere
