Pure entertainment!

I think what is missing is the leverage of a certain width of bar on the front wheel, with a certain head angle. As head angles get slacker, you need more leverage to turn that wheel with the same amount of effort. The compression force of your arms at a certain width doesn't have much to do with bike handling, while the leverage and force applied to turn the bars certainly does. If you're on a slack bike and riding slowly in technical steep terrain, you'll need wide bars to accurately control steering without a ton of effort. As a Squamish rider at 5'10", riding a lot of steep technical trails on a 63.4 degree head angle bike, 780 bars are as narrow as I feel comfortable on. If you're pinning it racing, I think you can go narrower and it'll work well. So I'd say it's more to do with terrain, rider weight, and bike geometry than height.

And possibly the last content we see from Matt.

Link to full results? Amazing work Sorca and Oneup!

Came to say the same thing - you've got a Yankee flag next to Michael Delesalle!

At the beginning of QuarterHP Remy was pretty clumsy and rough as a presenter. He said in the first episode that he knew he wasn't great, and was going to do his best to get better. My god has he got better. Incredible job. This is as good as anything there is on the WC. Really impressed.

Jackson does much better commentating than Ric, while he’s riding.

A course that makes me want to go visit! Great work on the video too.

That whip was insane! Just like his childhood whip off when the crowd demanded they let him whip

And asking if Pinky has the win in the cards when he's 3 seconds back - bizarre. He's like a badly programmed robot with only a few responses to choose from.
