The us open at mountain creek when it was Diablo bike park had all the great riders! From the early to mid 2000s! I remember Sam Hill was on iron horse going down the rocks and never heard a bike make noises like it was about to blow up and go so fast!
We finally fixed the bike design to get away from roadie influence... Now it's time to fix the events and organizations to get away from roadie influence. Particularly for DH being a much smaller discipline. I dunno how much these rules would still be 'necessary' in XC but closing the walls on DH more and more is gonna kill the sport. Shout out to everyone running 'local' events now. They are needed now more than ever (regardless of sanction/uci points).

Respect!
every big regulatory organization is a cancer to the undertaking, no exceptions:
UCI
FIFA
FIA
IOC
FIS
...
There needs to be an alternative to the UCI.. its tainted from all the money and they aren't to be trusted .
UCI is trash. I wish all the riders would boycott.
