GCN+ to Close as Warner Bros. Discovery Looks to Consolidate Streaming Services [Updated with Information from WBD]

@JonnyTheWeasel: When you look at what's available on Discovery+ (a bunch of has-been cable channels), I have a mental image of the WBD execs looking at the GCN+ numbers and thinking, "We need to force those folks to subscribe to Discovery+..."

Racing Rumours 2024 Part 1: Danny Hart Off Cube, Vali to YT, the End of GT Factory Racing, Kintner Off Norco, & More

@Fix-the-Spade: Definitely in in my case. By pure blind luck, I revamped my quiver in 2019 and early 2020 - I received my Spot Ryve 115 the week of lock-down in March 2020. I rode my 2019 Megatower at a bike park this past weekend and never felt the need for a new bike even on tech trails. I have a 2019 Chameleon hardtail as well which has a stronger following than the model that replaced it. I'm quite happy with what I have.

Guerrilla Gravity Appears to Have Closed Up Shop

@dfiler: Agree, although they do tend to have an expiration date when the company needs to either survive on its own sales or cease to exist. Investors generally won't keep pouring money into a failing company forever. The bike industry has always been a brutal business.

Qualifying Analysis from the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023

The GoPro YouTube channel just posted Nina's run where she made a big mistake on the final jump. Hard to say for sure if it cost her the qualifying win, but it definitely added some time. Should be an interesting race tomorrow. Is any more rain predicted before the race starts?

Pinkbike Poll: How Much Do You Spend on Your Riding Wardrobe?

I ride everything from road to DH to occasionally BMX so my riding kit collection is quite varied. Jerseys I'm somewhat indifferent about, although it depends some on the ride I'm doing. Sometimes I'll trail ride without a pack and having decent rear pockets is nice. Sometimes they're not deep enough. Pants and baggy shorts, on the other hand, have been a real PITA since I need to ride with a belt and want shorts and pants with belt loops. My favorite shorts is a 10 year old Fox Sargent model that hasn't been in production for ages. I did find some Fox shorts that are similar, so I bought all the store had in my size. Long pants are even worse. My favorite pants are Club Ride riding jeans that are also discontinued. These are almost perfect - my main complaint is the side phone pocket could be a bit larger.

Pinkbike Poll: How Much Do You Spend on Your Riding Wardrobe?

Agreed. I buy a lot of expensive jerseys and (usually bib) shorts for my team/club kits, but I also have some jerseys I've been wearing for over 30 years.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Episode 191 - Getting to Know Alicia Leggett

Not sure. It worked for me on the computer (laptop). While I listen to a few podcasts, none of them are through any "normal" podcast distribution networks. Usually via computer or my phone via a website app.

My WAG: they intentionally kept it low-key and low-stress.
