Looks alright that track.

Boost Bro on Instagram: "Change of plans this year. My knee is way more damaged than I expected and thanks to @redbullcanada and @damienmoroney I was able to get a surgery slot super quick. Got out of surgery on Monday and now we start the rehab. Got lots of it. No estimates on when I’ll be back on two wheels again yet but the time will come when I’m ready. For now I’ll be on the couch. Also make sure to check out the @santacruzbicycles YouTube for the new series! Link in bio. Thanks everyone for the support❤️ - @jackkclark - @scsyndicate @redbullcanada @santacruzbicycles @ridefoxbike @rideshimano @maxxistires @foxmtb @burgtec @chriskingbuzz @stifmountainbikes @reservewheels @wd40bike @gopro @oneupcomponents"

don't think they're expecting any riding this year.
No Crankworks comments in here? The men’s slopestyle was canceled bc of what more or less amounts to a strike on the part of the riders. Surprised not to see anything about that or is there another thread…?
It's not a strike if the boys didn't line the start shouting "SCAB" at every girl who started

Slope what?
Isn't that like the stuff they have going on in the parking lot outside the SX races while you are waiting for the real show to start?
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.

lolstyle. Sponsors got tight with cash so they think they can squeeze event, whom is also pulling from the same sponsor limited pot.
It seems like a tough situation to me. When you have inputs from so many directions, how will anything ever unify?
If I remember correctly, the guy who started crankworx or owns it, was on a podcast recently. He said the "crankworx" company basically makes no money. So what else can the organization do?
Where do all those riders actual employers, the people who are paying their yearly wages or whatever way you want to put it, stand? Shouldn't they be the most accountable for change?

love that most cyclists believe that pro purses need to be larger, and cover more of the field - and simultaneously think that paying to watch events is an outcry and that buying bikes at full price is solely for Fred’s and dentists.
no one is getting rich of bikes except for people making e-hybrids (and within 2 years that market will be fucked and the industry will have to find a new genre to make up).
Who’s even investing in slope riders these days? Specialized, Canyon and Trek? If riders start boycotting and their name doesn’t rhyme with Bemil Bobanson they’re fucked.
Edit: I think racing should be broadcast to watch free, that riders should get paid and looked after, and that bikes should be cheaper. I understand I’m a hypocrite.
spectators gotta pay a "site" fee to go up to snowshoe when there's a world cup up there...guarantee that money's all going to snowshoe to help recoup what they pay to host, not a dime going to riders...any other sites charge a "fee"'to watch other than rotorua?
Well, I ain't gonna be the one crying because Sugary Beverage X wants to buy the broadcast rights for any given event series and then put it out free to watch.
If anyone thinks money gateways should exist for the sport to survive, while living in a first world country, I'm going to call them hypocrites.

Norton got first and Pinkerton got 3rd. Couldn’t tell who was in 2nd. Pinkertons Instagram story.

Anyone watch Race Day Live from the Seattle SX yesterday?
Jackson Goldstone made an appearance in the booth and they chatted about mountain bikes for a minute, even showed some clips from MSA.

Yeah and when they asked if his sponsors were ok with moto, he said yeah I can ride my motorcycle....no good tracks around me so I just ride hard enduro.
Probably a prototype ABS or a temperature/telemetry sensor would be my guess.
Bugger.
Not great news.

Hip breaks can be really bad if the blood vessels can be damaged. Hopefully it isn't that bad.
Yeah hopefully not the kind of stuff that gives grief years later. That always sucks.
ln case anybody was wondering as I was what part the hip Asa broke.
