Not sure the advancement in bikes matters much when he did it on a second hand 2016 glory.

@TheLookingGlass: You might find that those 100 companies produce a lot of things that you choose to purchase. They aren't burning fossil fuels for fun.

Time is Running Out For the Women Cyclists of Afghanistan
@suspended-flesh: "Abrahamic Monotheism - the root of much of the evil in 'civilization" - this is just the latest reason in a line of very long reasons, spanning millions of years, for humans to hurt each other.
If you haven't worked it out yet, it's just in our nature. Religion is not the cause of, or solution to, problems that are fundamentally in our biology.

Pinkbike’s Annual VPN Internet Safety Briefing
No. Almost all internet traffic these days is encrypted with TLS anyway. That is not the purpose of a VPN.
The purpose of a VPN is not to hide your IP because it's private information, but to hide it because it tells the endpoint or anyone else watching i.e. streaming service where you are located geographically. A VPN also hides what you are requesting from any in-between switches (assuming no deep-packet inspection capabilities). This becomes very important in countries such as the five eyes where all internet traffic is watched, and in authoritarian regimes such as China where many sites are blocked.

@Yaan: You just described so many events. If a dozen high level riders turning up means Pinkbike is required to show then they are gonna need a lot more staff. Considering PB is an international website with staff members and users from many countries, I'm not sure that they're feeling that patriotic these days.

@da1994canucks: I imagine there is at least 30 national DH series every year. PB is big for a bike website but they are not a media giant. They can't just send people to everything, they have to prioritise, both personnel and budget. Clearly they prioritised something else. I didn't say they shouldn't pay, but there is a big difference between buying an article and some photos from someone and sending a staff member.

In all fairness, the olympics is on, and this is just a national series. Pinkbike is probably relying on a contributor providing the content for this just like they do for any other national series. Can't help it if no-one who attended bothered to create content.
