I have no streaming services other than NF. What do I need to buy in order to watch reliably?

@541freeride: You are spot on. Kashima is all about being very durable, meaning you can go way longer than you should between lube changes and not wear down the OD.

Must Watch: Sleeper's Chaotic Shreddit from the 2023 DH World Cup Season

Wow, Y'all its a Ding Dong for me!! Thanks for that inspiring piece. Wish the support from the governing body was better. How are there so few races this year? Doesn't make any sense.

Jackson Goldstone After Hardline Crash - 'I've Most Likely Torn My MCL'

The lighting in the trees must have been a factor that day. Light to dark to light is so tough at speed.

Video: How Long Should a Wheel Last? | Pinkbike Weekly Show Ep. 15

Here's some perspective for you. In a DH race scenario, especially amateur or semi-pro levels, it is absolutely common to dent or crack an aluminum rim in one race run at race pressures (22-25psi) and with inserts. This happened literally 1st practice run for my DH athlete last year at I think mountain creek? It is the nature of the beast, especially somewhere like windrock or any of the east coast nationals. However, that same rider on the same course might not dent a rim over the whole weekend if they're chilling way off the race pace. My Enduro rider's wheel that I built in the spring last year has lasted the whole CDC season (Multiple podiums) and is still going strong. We use exclusively Ex 511's. It is entirely dependent on how you behave on the bike.
