Entry List: Lourdes World Cup DH 2022
It is a rich kids sport. With few exceptions most of those kids are probably from wealthy families. I bet they have seen Jurassic Park on a satisfactory home theater. If they have chosen to see it.

Video: Wyn TV - Lourdes World Cup DH Track Walk
I appreciate WynTV but it would have been nice if he could show a few lines.

Spotted: A Closer Look at the New Intense Prototype DH Bike
@justinfoil: Well, like I said, I spoke with a buddy that was an original designer of VPP. A friend of mine. I have owned 15 intense frames and along the ways have read up and talked to people from the companies that make VPP and I think you are incorrect.

Spotted: A Closer Look at the New Intense Prototype DH Bike
@justinfoil: I was referring to the top question, asking why they just didn't build the the M16 (VPP) again. I think you are wrong about VPP working with the pivot anywhere though. I spoke with an older buddy of mine. He was employed aby the original patent owner of VPP. I asked him if it was possible to make a high pivot VPP bike. First he emphatically said NO. Then he went into great detail about why the lower link (sorry to mix with pivot) needs to be low. In fact the lower the better.

It think one of the requirements for VPP is a low lower link. I don't think you can make a high pivot VPP bike.

Video: Aaron Gwin Prepares for the 2022 Race Season in Episode 1 of 'Going for Six'
I am the guy that fist bumps him at 1:29. He is a cool kid. Always has been. What the video does not show is there was a stall on letting people down the track for practice. I talked to him for about 20 minutes up top. I am an avid Intense fan. I am near 50 years old and I have owned 19 Intense frames (0 warranty issues). We had a cool talk about hi pivot. Like I said, I am old and I think it is time to put DH aside. I do not plan on buying another DH frame. I doubt I will get a hi pivot bike but they sound really cool.
