New management who think they know best, among other things they told the regular on site commentators that they weren't wanted, little things like that tend to upset the loyal fans of the event

Throwback Thursday: How Much Have Mountain Bike Prices Changed in the Past 10 Years?
The perception of prices being high is probably more to do with fewer sales and clearance offers, MRSP is easy enough to compare but how many people actually paid that for a bike in 2011

Video: Danny Hart Charging Hard on his new Cube Downhill Bike
Doesn't look anything like it to me, although it's been a while since I was last there as it was pretty much abandoned, more likely to be near Braytons place

Qualifying Results: Maribor DH World Cup 2020
Weird that someone who smoked them in the slop last week looks to have done the same again, what's the excuses this time, is it just that he's maybe a worthy champ and a top rider?

@code26: the same way you've talked to ALL of pinkbike?

@code26: don't worry, I do recognise it as only you're opinion, just like I recognise that the racers competing in the series you're talking about hold the opposite opinion to you.

5 Things We Learned at Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Champs 2019
@code26: World Champs have always been held in higher regard than the World Cup series, only fans of riders who haven't won it yet seem to disagree with the truth, ask Peaty what means more to him, his 3 overalls or his 1 champions medal.
Everything on the line for 1 run, the pressure that goes with that as opposed to being able to make up for a bad result means riders push their limits way more than a world cup round, the riders themselves mention this all the time.
