[UPDATED] Elite Finals Results & Overall Standings from the Snowshoe DH World Cup 2023
@scott-townes: I don't think it's a fundamentally bad idea to have a professional broadcaster/commentator as one of your hosts - and Ric is at least a relatively passionate amateur rider. Most professional commentating for other sports uses a combination of a professional commentator and an subject matter expert (pro). Why should DH be any different?

Replay: Semi-Finals at the Snowshoe DH World Cup 2023
Did pinkbike racing just get purposely snubbed by the gcn broadcast? They fully cut away for Tibaut Laly's semi finals run.

First Ride: Merida One-Twenty - A Mountain Bike for Mountain Bikers
@Muscovir: There have been engineers on pinkbike that have directly contradicted what you're saying here.
Material fatigue is a real issue that could very well cause a bike designed around flex stays to become obsolete more quickly than one using pivot bearings, assuming they're ridden a similar amount and maintained correctly.

Pinkterton's pre-hop of the final drop is the new meta for that feature.

Erice looks so much faster than all the other Junior women. I might have missed it on the broadcast, but does anyone know why she didn't make all of the rounds this year? Seems like she would have easily been leading in points.

First Ride: Merida One-Twenty - A Mountain Bike for Mountain Bikers
@justinfoil: 'designed to flex' - and also they wear out. I'm not saying I expect every mountain bike to last a decade, but if I find one I really love, I want the option of keeping it running longterm. Flex-stays seem fundamentally designed to make the frame disposable.
And there are designs that use bearings, so why would I want to deal with that as an issue?

I will never buy a mountain bike with flex-stays. Sorry, guys.

First Ride: SRAM's New Powertrain Motor
I'll probably end up with an ebike in my stable as well. What I won't do is ride them on trails that have been specifically designated as 'no ebikes allowed' which is something we've been seeing in our area.
