Interview: Gee Atherton on his Return to Racing at Red Bull Hardline 2022
I never understood it. It's as if PB'ers didn't like him because he wasn't all "50:01, boozing it up after the races, etc, etc" persona (which is fine too), but that just wasn't his style. He always just seemed super competitive, 100% focus, and wanted to win. Nothing wrong with that if it's your personality. I'd rather someone be like that then put on a fake personality to get the approval of the internet/social media crowd. Dude has accomplished a ton in his career and helped the sport grow in a positive away. Hope he stays healthy and gets to enjoy riding his bike for years to come.

5 Things We Learned from the Val di Sole DH World Cup 2022
I think you're correct that Gwin and Minnaar pushed the sport to new levels. Gwin alluded to it in his podcast with Levy, he said he'd be surprised if a majority of the riders didn't have a personal trainer and a nutritionist on the payroll. The riders are pushing themselves to get that extra edge. The party vibe of yore has kind of gone by the wayside. Is that good, or bad? I guess that's a personal preference on how you like your DH.

Opinion: The Opposite of Learning to Fly
I had a horrible BMX racing accident in my late 30's, tore all 4 ligaments, meniscus, and dislocated kneecap. My wife had to nurse me through 2 surgeries and months of PT. I'm still not the same. I do ride MTB from time-to-time but I take it way easier, I can't put my family through that again.
