Burning Question: What's the Safest Full-Face Helmet for Your Riding Style?

@lepigpen: I have a Dissendent 2, it’s a little creaky as well. I think it’s the MIPS.

Final Results: Crankworx Whistler Canadian Open Downhill

When Redbull broadcasted the race 2 years ago, they had more cameras and you could get a better feel on how gnarly some of the tech sections were. That being said I thought the commentary was very good, overall, maybe not as polished as a Redbull or WB/Discovery broadcast, but still fun to watch (and it was free)!

I thought she was a class act when she was interviewed after she won, expressing concern for Gracie's wellbeing over her win.

Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride

@KJP1230: When Pinkbike first reviewed it, they called it a "DH Bike without a dual crown", and "The new Specialized Enduro is faster than ever, with a serious appetite for high speed, technical descents." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E79a3pdFdw&t=1s

Mountain Bikes From the Past 7 Years That We'd Still Happily Ride

@tmwjr777: In the spring of 2025 I picked up a new one for $4500 CAD, later that summer Specialized discounted them down to $4000. It's funny to see people on the buy & sell asking between $4500 - $8000 for a 3 to 4 year old Enduro (some with midgrade parts)

Results: Elite Finals at the 2026 La Thuile DH World Cup

Its interesting that Bruni and Finn weren’t right there to congratulate Jordon when he won. To be fair I didn’t see Jordon congratulate Finn the last two times when he won.

I was hoping for Jackson to win, but wow, Jordon’s win was well deserved!

Good to see Jackson building momentum, I'd love to see him take a win. On the broadcast, Ric or Mark mentioned Finn might have some sneaky lines, does anyone know if Finn used them in his winning run?
