Pinkbike Poll: If You Could Change One Thing About Your Current Mountain Bike's Geometry, What Would It Be?
I wish my seat-tube was straight so I could put a longer dropper, or just slam my 170 lower for park/shuttle days

NZ MTB Rally 2025 Registration is Now Open
It was discussed in last years edition, the carbon footprint of the event is audited and offset into a local (to Nelson) scheme. There's details of it on their website.
It's not the only answer but at least it's acknowledged and considered

Video: Official Highlights from the Finale Ligure EDR & E-EDR World Cup 2024
That was a great highlights show. Told the story, had some good shots.
Commentary was spot on, enough info without being droney.
Only criticism is that the the results page never flicked over to top 20-30, it just held the top 10 for long enough that a pre-schooler could read it.

[UPDATED] Final Results & Overall Standings from the Finale Ligure EDR World Cup 2024
Whinge whinge.
Anyone here try to follow WRC rally?
They've probably got a budget running into hundred of millions each round and it's only twice as good.
The truth is its not dhi, and you can't have live feeds that are interesting. The only way is to spin a story about riders in the lead up, then publish a short highlights reel narrating the event.
The results stream seemed more reliable than last year aswell

Trailforks Feature: Wallrides from Around the World
2006 4x world champs in Rotorua.
The redbull wall ride was massive, I think Gracia overtook someone by riding above their heads. The tyre marks were there for years after

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
I think it depends on where you live/ride.
I live somewhere really steep and most climbing is on gravel roads, so I choose a high bar and spacers to keep the front end higher on descents.
Where I'm sure a same height rider living somewhere flatter will slam their bars for more traction on flat corners and singletrack

The Pinkbike Podcast: Is World Cup XC Actually Worth Watching?
My kids and wife saw the xcc last two weeks and were blown away by the pace.
The full xco is great to watch but harder for the non-fan to get into until the laat 30mins.
I got into watching the dh streams first but the xc action can be more exciting as its an actual race not a time trial
