 Good to hear Semi finals will be gone next year, sounds like everybody hated it. Whitley's idea for a two tier racing format sounds interesting. I've come to the conclusion that mountain biking is better when British people are doing the talking, Charlie Hatton is the best interview since Reece and we all know Warner is the best announcer. Keep the French and North Americans away from the microphone please.

 @eckljkr: I've listened to all these pods and it is not formally confirmed by UCI but it's the running rumor w/ everyone in the like (like Whitely). I'm sure 99.9% of fans are ready to see semi's gone. Lets hope this rumor is dead on true.

 So much great content out there. Well done to a the podcast creator community. You guys bring so much joy to my daily commute. The Rankin interview is a must. Hope the team do a round two with him and dig even deeper.

 There should be a name for that conflicted feeling when a podcast has a guest you really want to hear, but the host drives you nuts.

 I hear ya. A few of these feature a bit too much insider bro-jabber that most of us didn't experience or relate to... like just among those speaking and its ok, but not that interesting. The feeling is having been pud-cast

 Very Cool content. You know what else is cool, that advent calendar we do every year. Outside Magazine just quietly killing that?

 That advent calendar we *did* every year. *Did.*

Shhhhhhhh! They were hoping we wouldn’t notice! Legal’s gotta review!

 I don’t get it. Seems like an easy and relatively cheap way to get clicks and site visitors in the off season. But I guess it went the way of Levy like every thing else around here.

 @speed10: Outside doesn't like when we notice that things are gone... this comment will probably be gone soon too!

 @SeanDRC: They seriously underestimated the readership’s resistance to them buying this property a couple years back and have mismanaged customer relations ever since. I do believe that they are now very careful about any changes they make — especially when they’re taking something away. They would rather not draw attention to it. I get it, but it doesn’t make us trust them any more than the day they bought the site.

 Keep tugging at the string, you'll see just how far the rabbit hole goes. The illuminati didn't want anyone to notice. Outside CEO is at the heart a of a vast global conspiracy to not give away free stuff. The site traffic it drove was overwhelming pinkbikes servers and was greater than the ad revenue it brought up. I have the documents right here. black helicopters flying around british columbia spying us. 5g towers actually broadcast outside+. The flouride in the tap water exists to keep your gaia subscription online. The government has installed spyware on my laptop that throttles all of our requests to trailforks unless the next 100 people to comment buy an extra subscription to trailforks pro. If you do not forward this email to your 10 closest coworkers you will get a flat with tubeless in the forest.

Robin williams told me all this personally. I commune closer with him by drinking stans (tm) tubeless sealant, that's how I stay so strong and resist the propaganda. The elites don't want you to know that one weird trick and want you to keep enjoying the smell of muc off tire sealant. Wake up sheeple.

 The latest Making up the Numbers (you’ve posted one from a month ago) has them pretty sure Minnaar is going to Norco.
