Interview: Vaea Verbeeck on Women Competing at Red Bull Rampage

The Hannah Bergemann photo is absolutely insane. How can Red Bull make the event and the terrain look so mediocre in the broadcast when there are perspectives like that????!

Review: Factor Lando XC

Factor and Specialized are two examples of brands still selling XC bikes without dropper posts, and testers fitting them afterwards before providing a review. Review it with the original seatpost in some BC chunk and let them know how you found it, otherwise we'll keep getting gravel bike specs so that they can cut costs and save weight.

Devinci Global Racing Steps Away from Enduro World Cups

@sherbet: modern XC courses are squeezing the life out of enduro too, they're challenging and it's TV friendly. Downhill will never die unless the UCI ban racing in the wet. Enduro is in a tricky spot which is ironic as it's the most fun for your average rider.

Ibis Enduro Team Pulls Out of World Cup Racing

This is exactly what played out with snowboarding in the 90s, with Terje Haakonsen boycotting the Olympics and having a ski federation take over a snowboarding one. Took five years to sort that mess out

2023 Red Bull Rampage Riders List Announced

It's been a slope style contest for the last few years, maybe that's why Brage has swerved it.

Review: Specialized Dissident 2 Helmet - Downhill Safety at an Enduro Weight

I've got two Fox Speedframes with MIPS, same size. One is silent, one creaks all the time. Based on this data it's clear you need to buy orange MIPS helmets if you want them to stay quiet.... maybe an opportunity for a Pinkbike poll :)
