Opinion: Stop Worrying About the Judging at Red Bull Rampage
@bman33: eh, 2024 was pretty okay. Top 3 could have been in any order and I’d have been fine with it.

Review: Teewing Flux One Pro - A Self-Shuttling Freeride Sled
What? The Slash (I assume that's what you're referring to) is 170/170, uses a light weight TQ motor with less than half the power and a battery that's 60% the size. They're fairly different.

Video: Lake Placid Practice & Quali Action - Inside The Tape
There are times when I wish I could ride the WC course with the racers to get the feel of the course.
This is not one of those times. That shit looks miserable. Props for the riders out there making it happen, I know it's their job and blahblahblah, but got damn.

Aletha Ostgaard Presented with Red Bull Helmet at Lake Placid DH World Cup
@Bibico: Probably because it's more analogous to the C-Suite of starbucks getting a special starbucks Gold card that confers all sorts of special privileges.
Not any athlete gets the sponsorship opportunity, and the benefits that come with the sponsorship are enormous for anybody that earns a living in action sports.

@stormracing:
Orbea: Puts their eggs in the split pivot basket so they can isolate the braking forces.
Also Orbea: Fuckit, hold my beer. Lets throw on a floating brake. YOLO.

[Update: Natasha Bradley Will Compete in Red Bull Rampage] Vaea Verbeeck Will Miss Red Bull Rampage After Fracturing Ankle
Tbh, women’s rampage was rad as shit, and felt like what rampage was supposed to be.
It was the men’s that jumped the shark.
Women’s was 10/10 and would recommend (and will watch again).

My gf could ride that easily. She goes to a different school though, you don't know her.

26 Riders Announced For Red Bull Hardline British Columbia
@brycebee: I have a lot of negative things to say about WB, but eliminating protected rider spots and running a last chance qualifying has been amazing from a spectators point of view.

Mondraker Issues Recall for Carbon Handlebars with "Crack or Fracture" Risk
Yes. If your mountain bike has carbon handlebars, you should immediately replace them with a bar that isn't made of carbon fiber. It's just not a great material for handlebar applications.
