@Frank191: The riders collectively agree and know that Emil deserves every win he has gotten. Tom Isted talked about it recently in a podcast.

Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum

@shoreboy1866: can’t say I watch XC To be honest. Just out here speculating. RF is definitely aimed more at the enduro-dh end of the spectrum though, so I don’t doubt there are no XC RF sponsored riders.

Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum

@shoreboy1866: Yes, but if an athlete in the olympics isn’t a sram rider and is a Race Face rider, I guarantee will use this ring versus the regular cinch alloy ring is they weigh the same just for marketing reasons regardless of whether they get near gear every race.

Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum

@shoreboy1866: Well it's a carbon chain ring with steel teeth that weighs the same as an alloy ring. So yes?

Pinkbike Poll: Center Lock or 6-Bolt Brake Rotor Mounting?

6 bolt, but centerlock rotors definitely look cooler.

Video: 5 Pro Slopestyle Bikes from Crankworx Rotorua 2024

@erikhortsch: Seeing Semenuk, Fedko, and Emil ride those jumps is a true treat. Everyone at crankworx slopestyle can do crazy tricks on big jumps, but only a few stand out as actually comfortable just riding the backwoods. Nothing beats the big whips and flatspins at Backwoods

@slimkdnvr: Semenuk literally made his career from slopestyle lol, as have many others. In the Gypsy Tales Podcast, he mentions that when he bought his house, he basically had to place at/near the front so he could afford the house payments with the prize money, or he would have lost his house. And yeah, really weak of them to stand up for their rights, safety, and a better future for the sport. I think they are massively brave/ ballsy to actually hold their ground. Look at the DH Union. It fell flat because not enough of them were united enough to care.

Video: Remy Metailler Hits Mount Prevost's Steep & Fast Tracks

"If you follow downhill racing or just mountain biking in general you will be familiar with the names Finn Iles, Mark Wallace, Jackson Goldstone, Kirk McDowall, Gracey Hermstreet, Magnus Manson etc, and you would have heard about a place called Prevost. That's because Prevost is the training ground of many of these Canadian racers, and was where Stevie Smith trained for years."
