2023 Red Bull Rampage Riders List Announced
@Wamprat: agreed, and they can do it in the same event rather than having to create new events just for women because others feel they just aren't up to the other guys standards.

2023 Red Bull Rampage Riders List Announced
@onemanarmy: you do realize that equal playing fields doesn't mean that the women have to do everything the men can on the same features? It means you give them an chance to do their own thing on the same features. Yeah it may not be as cool to you as what the guys can do but the competition isn't happening for your sole enjoyment. It seems like there are a lot of people asking for the women to be included and for good reason.
Its folks like you that like to talk about how women just aren't at the same caliber as the men so they should just go off and do their own thing that slows that progression.

@RoadRunner13: you come across as very childish and bitter with all your negative posts.

[UPDATED] Elite XC Results & Overall Standings from the Les Gets XC World Cup 2023
Agreed. Everyone is talking about the DH broadcasts but the XC had been just as horrible. They talk about and video the top ten riders and about nothing else. On top of that the video quality has gone down considerably as well.

[UPDATED] Elite Finals Results & Overall Standings from the Loudenvielle DH World Cup 2023
@BenPea: perhaps my tense was off. I have never been a Gwin fan but I became an instant fan of his broadcast personality.

I am not a Gwin fan. He is a phenomenal rider but I never warmed up to him as a fan. That being said, he blew the commentary out of the park. His addition seemed to tone Cedric down to manageable personality in the booth as well giving great personal insights to a lot of the riders. Not only that, he was spot on with just about every one of his assessments of the riders coming into the splits.
I know he has lots of racing left which I'm excited to follow but I'm also looking forward to how his career may evolve.

Video: Friday Fails #287
I was off on a roam and almost home
When I lost it in the loam.
I wreckon my rekon
Hit that tombstone head on.
Just when I thought I was done,
It was now no more fun.
I went sailing, my body flailing
Straight into the debris.
Fortunately missing the tree
And avoiding catastrophe
But my helmet and rock met and
Yup, I'll be ailing after this dismount.
I can't recount one so savage
In recent history.
Certainly worthy of Friday footage.
My chins new cleavage may need a bandage But at least there's no breakage.
What's the old adage?
Fuck around and find out.
Just try not to take yourself out.

Video: 3 Minutes of Chaos from the Fort William DH World Champs 2023
@paulskibum: I paid for GCN+ and still could not watch world champs without a hassle as I'm in the USA.
As far as your comment that it's just as good in quality is utter BS. Whether or not you liked Rob's commentary it was far better than what is currently being offered. We have not seen any major increase in what is getting shot for video in regards to missing sections of the track of more riders. What we have got is a major decline in image quality every time it switches to the drone footage that 1/3 of the time can't even keep the rider centered on the frame.
Now go back and watch the Redbull replays and remember just how good we had it.

Spotted: New Tire from Maxxis
@jomacba: I like the Magic May front and Big Betty rear in super gravity.
My local is generally hard pack with a soft layer on top and lots of granite. I don't need super soft, it will wear to quickly but good solid cornering knobs are a must. The rock razor was great for corners but also super fast for the hard pack but with all the granite I shred anything less than super gravity casings.

Spotted: New Tire from Maxxis
@jomacba: this is what I'm seeing. I'm not a Maxxis guy but this one I would give a try. I loved the old Schwalbe, Rock Razor in Super Gravity but you can't find those anymore where I'm at. This looks like a great fast rolling rear tire with excellent cornering traction.
