Interview: Gracey Hemstreet - The First Ever Woman to Complete a Full Run at Red Bull Hardline
This is super rad and I hope to see more women racing these events in the future. Gracey, congrats and we all want to see you (and everyone else) healthy and racing in Wales after the UCI season.
Given this is the first year there’s been a second hardline venue outside Wales, ever, somebody should edit either the title or the first paragraph of this article; I’d argue that hardline Tasmania is not ‘infamous’ yet. Just a thought.

Video: 12 Minutes of Absolute Carnage from the 2023 World Cup DH Season
9:30-9:45 uuugggh fffuuuuggggg I feel that in my bones. You can tell the dude was staring and fully locked onto that pink paint on the tree…. Forcing yourself to learn to look past the object you’re about to hit at least gets your noggin out of the way. JFC

What is the anti-squat on that BB link setup too? That probably contributes to the ‘feels like 110 when pedaling’ part.

“This has to do with the fact that the suspension leverage rate varies according to the rider weight shifts.”
…sooo is the flip-chip looking thing at the lowest pivot / pivot-downtube junction just geometry adjustment, or is there a sneaky infinity-switch kind of situation going on there?

Who are the 2023 DH World Cup Champions?
The current system may not help top 3 or even top 10, but folks fighting to come up ranks ‘might’ (???) benefit? I generally think UCI should get f$”@& and all future DH races (under the umbrella of UCI) should be run by union voted (meaning riders unionize!) rules.
UCI ain’t shit without riders.
