Can has the judges locked in so why even try to compete. Still so disappointed by Rampage and Cam being given the weak shit win

Yeah I remember when they signed Gwinn in his glory years, seems that was the end of his career. I know he got hurt but seems like his career went immediately DH, pun intended.

@guide210: no a Canadian dollar is a coin and called a loonie.

3” tires….what about my fat bike

Just finished watching the women's XC short track at Snowshoe. Usually there would be one American in the top 20. US won the race, plus 5 other women in the top 20, along with 3 Canadians. This just shows the affect of not having to travel as far when you race, UCI is unfair advantage to Euro riders. Gwinn is still the best rider, but after all these years of traveling to Europe he is just burned out. Bring back NORBA!!!!

Rob Roskopp has spoken for years how he wants DH MTB out of the hands of the UCI. This would be a great time for US dollars to pull out of the UCI. I have spent 10's of thousands on MTB why should I pay to view the races that these companies sponsor. Not a gravel racer, but did you notice how America creates a new discipline of bike racing and the UCI snaps it up and takes all the races to europe, just like they did with MTB. Bring back NORBA!!!

Adidas bought five ten and made those changes.

Been climbing and MTBing in 5.10 shoes since I was a sponsored climber for them back in the early 90's. I've gone through every shoe they ever made until Adidas bought/destroyed them and I lost my pro deal. The Sam Hill is just a newer version of the original Nathan Rennies, which I agree is a stout shoe. The Rennies had the best look of any 5.10 shoe ever made, I use to wear them as street shoes and had people comment on them constantly. The Minnaars/OG Hellcats, same shoe different colors, get my vote as the best shoe 5.10 ever built. Clipping in and out of a pair of Mallets with traction pins screwed out to the max is one of the hardest thing on a shoe that you can do in my opinion. 3-5 years, 100-200 days a year, I never wore out a pair to the point I couldn't use them anymore, usually would just retire them because I had new pairs waiting. The new Hellcats look like a shoe built to fail, I would never buy a pair. I'm lucky and still have boxes of old 5.10s both climbing and MTB, worth their weight in gold to me now. FYI same durability conversation is happening in the climbing side of 5.10 shoes. I think the best scenario would be for 5.10 to fail as an adidas product and them to sale the rights to use the stealth rubber to some outside companies.

@pastaman23: Way easier to get to the top than to stay there.

They have one it's called Strava, you can link it to your TF account.
