2025 Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup Final Results
@TasGravityGirls: Loic passed the vibe ages ago. Easy to be a keyboard warrior from halfway across the world. Nobody can be sure what type of injury and pain Loci was in.

Video: Loic Bruni Shares Update After the 2025 Mont-Sainte-Anne DH World Cup
Pump the brakes there keyboard hero. Loic is consistently one of the most respectful and humble racers out there. It is within the realms of possibilities that he had other things going one rather than intentionally snubbing Jackson.

Course Preview: The Legendary Champery! | 2025 Champéry Downhill World Championships
@velomatic: Yeah 100%. Guess it's just the way tracks naturally evolves the more they get ridden in. Especially true if it's open to the public like this one is. The old school footage from Champery looks amazing. Super natural, lots of loam and roots. The evolution of Val di Sole is another track that is part of this conversation. Not sure what the answer is TBH - Ive wondered if venues should save the tracks just for world cups. And maybe have a build zone where significant sections can be 'rested' and or rehabilitated for a number of seasons to avoid them being completely ridden in. Probably not realistic from a business perspective

Elite Qualifying Results from the Val Di Sole DH World Cup 2023
To be fair to Dean many top riders have said similar things about the direction tracks have headed. Sam Hill, Steve Peat Minnar to name a few. Some times a fine line between having a wine and legitimate criticism. I think we'd all love to see more natural tracks that evolve over the weekend and reward creative line choice over flat out bike park ones.

Sam Hill Injures Foot, Will Miss Val di Sole World Cup
Mate you're gonna catch heat because youre speaking a bunch of rubbish. Sam wasn't competitive when he quit DH? Dude won 2 WC's in 2014. And to suggest that there is a low talent pool in enduro is just disrespectful to the riders and champions. Especially when people like Rude were in fact racing enduro. I can appreciate you're trying to articulate an opinion here but get your facts sorted before dribbling the above rubbish.

Movies For Your Monday - Nico Vink, Steve Vanderhoek, Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, Rollerblades, & More
I seem to remember movies for your Monday being more about showcasing smaller edits previously not seen on the Pinkbike feed. Nowadays it seems its mostly just a warp up of any riding videos from the past week. Is it just me or do others feel this way? I used to really look forward to movies for your Mondays but now it usually just gets a quick scroll from me.

Flat Pedals Win Medals & 3 More Things We Learned from the Maydena Enduro World Cup 2023
@CharlieEdis: Fantastic words thanks Charlie. Mature perspectives such as this have been very lacking when it comes to the conversation around forestry in Tasmania. (or anything else affects Tasmanians cough cough cable car.....)

Flat Pedals Win Medals & 3 More Things We Learned from the Maydena Enduro World Cup 2023
@FoesKnows: Better live coverage is a positive at least! Youre right though Maydena was built within working forests so have to expect surrounding areas will be logged at some stage. Derby has had similar problems also. Forestry is an important industry in Tasmania but I wish there was a less emotional conversation around what what value can be derived from logging vs tourism/preservation. Or are there alternatives such as selective logging?
