I don’t really care about slopestyle but I’m a fan of the riders standing up for themselves.
The industry needs to figure out how to pay their talent, whether racers or other pros, in my opinion.
With a start list like this, I guess we can be sure that Crankworx is unlikely to threaten UCI’s control of the pro DH racing scene.

I had no clue that anyone rode with arch over spindle. Maybe that’s better for giant drops and mega jumps… ?
I’ve always preferred concave pedals. On clipless, I set cleats as far back as they go on Shimano shoes, but that’s nowhere near the arch… it’s still under the ball on my 11.5 US feet.
Why do so many brands want to take the simplicity of a hardtail and tart it up with sliding or otherwise adjustable dropouts? That shit never stays tight in real world applications without a ton of fiddling and maintenance.
You chose to ride a primitive hardtail… there’s no performance gain...
Dunne is so sick.
It was very cool seeing the women go for it and have some success.
I hope they get the slow freeriders out of there for next race and manage to attract more top 20 WC racers.
