Video: So Many Stories, So Little Time | Story Of The Race from the 2026 Whistler DH World Cup
@Super7: The West Coast is the hotbed for DH racing in the US. Several athletes from WA and OR quailed or tried to: Bode Burke, Alden Pate, Aletha, Jade Savage, Allie Ward, Julia Lofquist Traum, Tilly Melton, then you have CA riders: Maples, Gwin, Pinkerton, Samantha Porras, etc. So no surprise there was a huge spillover in fans from those areas! Great to see it

Aug 11, 2026Bronson Long Travel v4 Cascade Link
$210 USDI am not that knowledgeable on what these links do, so here is AI's description of my link. It was used on my 85lb daughter's SC Bronson for about a year before I went back to the stock link. Good condition, 2 bearings perfect, 2 are slightly gritty but most likely can go at least a season before swapping. Item is clean. $210 shipped.
AI description:
Up for sale is a Cascade Components Long Travel (LT) suspension linkage for the V4 Santa Cruz Bronson frame, fitting model years 2021 through 2024. If you want to transform your Bronson from an all-around trail bike into an absolute enduro weapon with vastly improved small-bump compliance and bottom-out resistance, this is the single best upgrade you can buy.This link completely re-tunes the rear suspension dynamics to allow the bike to track better, handle massive hits effortlessly, and run a coil shock flawlessly.
Key Performance Benefits & Geometry Updates:Adjustable Rear Travel: Features an integrated flip-chip that boosts your rear travel from the stock 150mm:160mm travel in the Short Travel (ST) setting with a stock 230x60mm shock.170mm travel in the Long Travel (LT) setting with a stock 230x60mm shock.180mm travel in the LT setting if paired with a long-stroke 230x65mm shock.Increased Progression: Ramps suspension progression up from the stock 27% to 34% (ST), 36% (LT), or 42% (with a 65mm stroke shock). This gives you an incredibly supple initial stroke and huge ramp-up to completely eliminate harsh bottom-outs.Lengthened Chainstays: Adds +6mm to the chainstay length. This subtly shifts your weight forward, drastically increasing front-tire traction in loose corners and maximizing stability at high speeds.Geometry Preservation: Keeps the rest of the bike's geometry perfectly matched to the stock "Low" setting.
Technical Specifications:Material: Premium CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, made in the USA.Bearings: Pre-installed sealed Enduro MAX bearings.Hardware Compatibility: Fits standard 8mm x 30mm eyelet spacing and offers increased physical clearance for large-diameter air and coil shocks.Weight: 347 grams.

Jul 8, 2026Santa Cruz 5010
$1800 USD**$1800**
2021 Santa Cruz 5010 Size Large with upgrades. (old school large, fits a rider 5'6"-5"10").
This was my bike for several years. It's a size Large which is a present-day medium. I am 5'8" and it fit me great. Full 27.5 Wheels.
The 5010 is a great trail bike - it's short travel and climbs well, and is playful on the descents rather than feeling like you are plowing through things. The brakes are upgraded to magura trail brakes and extremely responsive and powerful. It also has renthal carbon bars.
Rock Shox Pike Ultimate Front Fork
GX Drivetrain
Maxxis Assegai/Maxxis Minion DHR 2 combo
Galfer Brake rotors 180 fr/rear
Renthal Fat Bar carbon bars
Magura Trail Brakes - 4 piston front, 2 piston rear.
180 mm Dropper post (one up, with Wolftooth lever)
Fox Float DPS Shock
**Work recently done**
Fork lowers service. Brand new seals, 0 rides since service
Front brake bleed. 0 rides since service
It has a Luna Women's saddle that I could replace with a men's saddle if a male rider purchases.
Will ship via bike flights for $125 extra

One of the best edits I've seen in a while. Early 2000's vibes in first section were sick. I used to gate keep Ashland, but damn it's a great place to ride bikes, cool to see it showcased here. The town is dying, we need folks to come back and ride more of it, there's a lot to see.
