Final Randoms: Bike Festival Riva 2024
@PauRexs: Love Cornelius and his stuff, but he's not super keen on direct comparisons or reviews these days. If you look into the archives we've done lots of stories on Intend over the years: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/tags/intend/

4 Tech Takeaways From the Fort William DH World Cup
@cassiusclaim: There are definitely things that DH racers will compromise on to make sponsors happy. Suspension is VERY low on that list.
They may be drinking the Kool-aid, I have no idea, but at that level they wouldn't be entertaining the idea unless they thought it was helping them win.
As for being on some payroll, no. I haven't been in love with any of the electronic suspension stuff I've used. Some of it has been quite good, but none of it has been worth the squeeze or cost for me (or most riders).

Fantasy DH League Results: Who Won the First Round - Fort William DH World Cup 2024
@Kysic: I have no stones to throw for repeating phrases. I can't stop myself from saying "the fact that" in podcasts or presentations, it's terrible.

Fantasy DH League Results: Who Won the First Round - Fort William DH World Cup 2024
@Andrea1811: your team for Fort William was: Loic Bruni (+30), Lachlan Stevens-Mcnab (0), Jack Reading (0), Bodhi Kuhn (+8 ), Camille Balanche (+24), Jenna Hastings (0).
Congrats, you have 62 points and are in 1936th place (of almost 19K players!).
After Fort William, each rider's price changed based on their results. This mean that your most expensive rider (Bruni) was removed from your team and automatically replaced with a cheaper rider.
You can make other team changes to make room to get Bruni back, or replace him with another rider. At this point it's likely that going all-in on a top rider isn't the winning strategy, so you'll have to look further down the ranks to see who can deliver value for your money.
Tip: look for top riders who had a bad first race and who have dropped in value.

We'll take a look at the budget cap later in the season if we have to, but it's supposed to create tough choices and look at more riders than the well known top 5—just like being a real team manager.

hmmm yeah actually that'd be interesting to dig in on. I'll see if we can figure that out. I'm really impressed that the top team didn't have any of the winners—makes it way more interesting to me.

MUST WATCH: Brage Vestavik & Nico Vink in 'Sandscape Eternal'
Nah I would like a VHS of this to watch after school, and then maybe make one of these songs autoplay on my Myspace.
