@bmccrady: Because pouring cash on the problems in the US never seems to solve them. In the case of education it often makes things worse. The issue isn't cash, it's the lack of accountability in the administrative state which feeds on funding like a cancer.

Reader Story: A Look Into the Numbers Behind World Cup DH Racers Performing Better in Their Home Country
Would be interesting to dig into the variables, specifically whether this bias is created by having more time spent riding the mountain where the race is held vs. simply being more comfortable with day to day life leading up to the race, seeing more friends/family, native language/food, etc

It’s Time to Recalibrate Our Ideas About Chainstay Length
@sanchofula: What's telling is that everyone who says this never mentions cornering. You win races in corners, not by "maneuvering" or with straight line speed through tech. And imbalanced bikes corner like shit.

Same. One of the only bikes I could find with a reasonable front-rear balance. Railing turns takes much less energy, which means less mistakes over a long day

Correct, it shifts your center of mass toward the rear wheel, which means to maintain front wheel traction YOU have to compensate by leaning forward. Multiply by as many corners as there are in a typical race and you're going to wear out your core and arms a lot faster.

It’s Time to Recalibrate Our Ideas About Chainstay Length
It's far more perceptible than the numbers suggest, especially in racing when you're in the saddle all day and pushing the limits of traction in every turn. Balance isn't ridiculous at all, finding the center of the bike is critical when cornering and a few cm fore/aft changes how much energy you're putting into bridging across your core/upper body vs your legs. "Long chainstays" aren't the solution in themselves, they are a necessary adjustment to exceedingly long front-centers. Having ridden a super stretched out 160mm enduro bike with a 430 chainstay I can confirm it's "playful" when you're fucking around and awkward when you need to actually maintain exit speed in corners

Thank god someone is finally saying this. Although Vorsprung pointed it out years ago when analyzing Sam Hill's Nukeproof compared to all the trendier bikes his competitors were riding-- his was short up front, and his riding style is notably muted and "sat back" in a more traditional athletic position. Much similar to Minnaar's stance, and he's also running the longest stays possible.
