Video: What's the Deal with Cross-Country Racing? - The Explainer
I raced XC ten years ago - a lot of us did - but I primarily just ride trails and bike parks with friends now. So my current exposure to racing now is primarily what I watch on red bull TV. And I watch both the XC and DH races. DH is normally more exciting for me, but I enjoy the XC races too. Be cool.

Fort William World Cup Cancelled, Nove Mesto World Cup XC Postponed
@chriskneeland: it's not about eliminating the virus - we cant do that no matter what. Its about calming down an insane current emergency that our system cannot handle. The more we flatten the curve the more we can take care of sick people. And if we level off the numbers, business and events will open again!

Bernard Kerr Refused Entry to Anaheim 1 SX Race
I will side with the org here in not letting him attempt to qualify. Sounds mean and petty but as much as I enjoyed seeing Kerr improve his skills and focus on something different, it kinda demeaned this other sport to me. I know little about supercross and to hear someone outside the sport was rolling up and attempting to qualify for a big race made me think a little less of the sport and how good their elites must be.

Corendon Circus Rebrands as Alpecin-Fenix and Confirms Sam Gaze Signing
A lot of comments around Gaze's arrogance so I'll note a story. In the moments after his short track win at mont st. anne in 2018 my son and I were near the podium and he walked straight from the podium away from the interviewer and asked my son what he thought of the race and his name and if he rides. It was pretty surreal. After a high five he went back to the (red bull?) interviewer and camera. I was impressed. That was not the move a self consumed man makes.

Review: Santa Cruz's All-New Tallboy Trail Bike
It really is amazing that a $10,400 bike and a $2700 bike share the same frame design and suspension design. Maybe that's all they share, but it speaks clearly to where our money is going.
