I have met Jared on several occasions and he remains one of the most down to earth guys of MTB. At a world cup in Schladming I broke my handlebars on Graves suggestion I went handlebar shopping in the Yeti pit. Damian pulled of a set of handlebars from a team bike and gave it to me along with a good luck from the riders (Blinky and Graves). I still have that set of Sunline bars.

Some how that jeeeear boy at the end just doesn’t seem to cower it! That trick was mental!

@privateer-wheels: They are going to be blackish in no time!

@salespunk: Thank you for an insightful comment regarding the possible impact of Covid-19 in an MTB/athlete context!

@NotDeadYetMTB: Non taken mate!

@NotDeadYetMTB: He is saying if you like stretching go ahead and do it. If you stretch for other reasons than that don´t do it, the research literature on the topic is suggests it is a waste of time. However it is true that the research literature in general don´t have followup longer than about a 1 year. Your comment on long term effect might be true, but we do not have data other than personal experience back up that statement. There have been research done on stretching as injury prevention on Australian military recruits (roughly 3000 participants) which surprisingly found that daily stretching was associated with higher injury rates compared to controls who did not stretch. Knowing people for a decade does not make them right regardless of education. Often we will be told by healthcare professionals that stretching is key to injury prevention ect. which is in direct conflict with the evidence on the topic. It roughly takes 10-15 years for research findings to pass down in to practice and education, so what we as physios was taught years ago might not be right any more, that is under the assumption that education is based on research in this case physiotherapy. My first post was an attempt to highlight what the research on stretching can conclude. The link to painscience was to present an easy to understand review of the literature on stretching.

There is overwhelming evidence on the topic of stretching. For the most part stretching does absolutely nothing. If you like stretching by all means do carry on, if you are limited in regards to time for training like riding bikes or other kinds of training time is wasted on stretching. This article sums it up rather nice. https://www.painscience.com/articles/stretching.php And while i am at it we might just as well quit core training/stability for all other reasons than if you like it. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Eyal_Lederman/publication/40684089_The_Myth_of_Core_Stability/links/5c3b70d8299bf12be3c52333/The-Myth-of-Core-Stability.pdf or this one https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-016-0597-7?fbclid=IwAR2MzjcaJvSELTKlxQiSKysl7ahXdHmPU_BEgaoUtj-6hFu3lRYECav06AI

Best news all day. good luck Jared! #FUCKCANCER

Never mind look It’s about how it rides!
