Video: Finals Highlights from Red Bull Rampage 2023
Production was amazing this year! They did a great job with camera angles, and mixing in the drones and helicopter. They were also firing off the riders and had hardly any downtime. Made the event much more enjoyable to watch.
Glad to hear Godziek is doing okay, that was one of the scariest hits I've ever seen.

Final Results from Red Bull Rampage 2023
Yup I say this every year. Let all riders do their first run, then announce the scores. This give the judges ability to adjust some after they've seen everyone. Then second run can be live scored.

Final Results from Red Bull Rampage 2023
No way, the drones are great! That drone shot behind Alba's front flip over the canyon was one of the coolest rampage shots I've ever seen!

First Look: CushCore Trail Inserts
Still pretty heavy compared to some other options out there. I have a set of the new Panzer enduro / DH insertes on the way and they weigh ~110g each. Haven’t seen any reviews of them yet but they look pretty improved over their older Evo inserts.

Slack Randoms: Attempting to Break SRAM Transmission, the Smallest Functioning Bike & More
I’m no engineer or anything, but man I am not really worried about this thing breaking carbon frames. The axle is what is really holding and bracing everything together, it should take most of the impact forces. Then distribute the forces into the frame, but the whole rear triangle will be absorbing these forces as well. And in the worst case scenario I feel like the derailleur will still break before the frame. As in the video. Plus with the added safety features built into it, I feel pretty dang confident with it.

Review: 1,000 Miles on SRAM's New Eagle Transmission
@schu2470: This new cassette is 32 - 38 - 44 - 52. Still a larger gap than Shimano, but should be quite a bit better than the old 10 gap

First Look: Yeti's New SB140 - Splitting the Difference
They now have two versions of the 140. The 27.5 version is here https://yeticycles.com/bikes/sb140-275
I'm assuming the old 140 and the 165 will get the same update as the 29ers just got eventually too

Review: 2023 Yeti SB160 - The Revised Racer
I do think it's a pretty nice upgrade, I like what they've done with the sizing and the small adjustments to the linkage. The new colors look sooo good. Really bummed out about no glove box, and no more XT builds though.
