Video: Puzzling in the Pits with Andreas Kolb & Jordi Cortes at the Bielsko-Biała DH World Cup

 They were so much more than Fox promo's.......very missed.

 Just gonna drop this here too - youtu.be/6pQEvgJHpcs?si=IvW_VccnXoLAKsGb The finest 40 seconds of intro you'll ever watch from a DH race!

 Thanks for sharing their channels. They are both very good for the industry. Dialed was always my first watch of all the videos.

 @dwhere thanks for sharing their YouTube channels. This video just made me miss Dialed that much more. Jake and Shaffer just 'get it' and have a great natural rapport with the Fox crew and the riders, amazing editing and 'dialled' soundtrack selection. Fox, take notice, those boys cannot be beaten or copied.

 Race week just doesn't feel the same without their track walks and coverage. Really a bummer to not have Dialed this year.

 This was the Fox response to all of the requests about Dialed. Posted in the comments section of the "Having a quick chat with Jules..." video short:

"Hey Dialed Fans, as you've noticed, there won't be a Dialed Season 6 this year. It's been a really tough one for us. Everyone knows the current state of the industry, and with Jake and Shaff focusing on other projects, we just couldn't make it happen this year. We miss the crew dearly, but we're hard at work to bring you as much World Cup coverage (and Jordi Coverage) as possible... Stay tuned."

 There's a comment on the Pinkbike YouTube channel for this video that suggests that it was a cost cutting measure by Fox to let Dialed go.

 Honestly hope that Dialed returns. That's no shade on this project, but Dialed is so creative and, frankly, beautiful.

 Dialed X2

 Btw. what happened to 1.0?

 @bg-EVIL: it lasted a couple weekends over the past few years, and finally blew up last fall. It was warrantied with the current model year, which is already showing signs of relapse.

Wait, are you asking about the previous Dialed series or my old DH shock??

 Dialed 0.2

 That was our thought on this—following a different rider each round to see how they deal with setup. Hopefully it's interesting to contrast the different approaches.

 @brianpark: There is no replacement for Dialed, but it's better than nothing.

 @brianpark: great idea but it’s only interesting if the rider is changing stuff around to try and find the right setup and if you get the details of those changes why they made them and how they helped.

This episode was vague on the actual setup Andi was running and he pretty much kept it the same as the previous round anyway.

Props to the video team for making it and getting it out so fast.

 @SimonA123: yeah I'd like to have each rider's actual settings at the start of the week and on race day spelled out as part of the series. We'll see if we can convince people to open source their secret sauce.

 like an olive son lol

 Like so pitted

 I miss Dialed

 Story of the Race is out today. Different team working on SOTR vs Pitted, and the delay on SOTR was of the regular technical difficulty variety rather than getting deprioritized.

I'll admit I'm a fan of Jordi the racer therapist, but our idea for this series is to focus more closely on each rider and their own unique approach to suspension setup. There are things we've got to get (ugh) dialed in still, but I'm hoping it's useful and interesting to folks.

 We use telemetry some times, you just can find yourself going down a rabbit hole with it chasing somthing that might not be beneficial.

 and stop autoplaying videos! Its a user's choice if they want to watch it. Accessibility basics.

 Clearly not. This had one tenth the passion. Not even close to a replacement.

 This thing came together very quickly, and TJ and Max did a great job on it, but I’m a big fan of Jake and Schaffer’s work too. I’m going to see about doing some stuff with them this year as well.

 @brianpark: big ups brian. that's awesome.

 I think he's acute.

 @watchmen: and sometimes right

 @watchmen: lol…you win
