DIALED S5-EP24: The most dedicated fans in downhill history? (Fort William World Champs) | FOX

[@MrSupermugen]

so the fans give it everything to come to these races.... then UCI absolutely does everything possible to ruin the viewing exprience

[@l.k.1011]

To this point all the UCI does is just one big joke...

[@asun3630]

Redbull was worse in the beginning trust me, but they definitely mastered and paved the way for UCI and W+D- Edr = WB Discovery Sport- world series cup or geo restricted fart! whatever they are called. boar 🐗 ing!!! Atleast bring Rob on as a culture consultant!!!!not to be negative because someone out there is trying and carrying the torch, but get it together gcn, enduro uci dh xc wb+the 4ac +- the square root of EDC over 2b! We are impatient! They did say this was going to be a learning experience, so that language tells me they will mold to the audiences needs. They wont survive otherwise. Ive seen mtb in the days where a dh race had no audience compared to now. It can easily fall back to that if they are not careful. Already im seeing a shift in energy and crowd.

[@budycelyn]

Q & A who is jordi's favourite DH rider of all time?

[@redfootinc.3859]

Please Jake, for the early week videos, ask riders like Ed Masters e Matt Walker about the puzzling on there enduro bikes suspension compared to the DH ones? Early in the year we had pretty different condition on the first 2 rounds of the enduro World Cup that were supposed to bring some questioning for them on what to do on their set up.

[@mikoneilable]

For Q/A In one of the earlier vids Jordi mentioned that XC riders/teams don't seem too fussed about the setup help you guys can give. I assume they take advantage of service stuff, but where do you see the advantages are that could be gained from tuning and setup etc?

[@shredthetrack6858]

Love the structure of those videos.

[@FOXFACTORY]

Glad you like them!

[@maxbreak147]

Q&A: so many variables (tires, wheels, cockpit, frame …) If Fox had it‘s own team rider and control everything. would suspension setup get much easier?

[@TuckerPearce]

Awesome vid guys. Wow that rain was intense.

[@leedowling9169]

Awesome video gents. Keep up the amazing work. Go Fox

[@Neil_Mackie]

Thanks for the videos this week. For the Q&A: Do the Fox team use things like Vital's slow mo bike abuse videos as a post mortem to see how Fox suspension was working or for any clues as to how RockShox, Ohlins etc worked on the same track? (Or any other third party video used for information etc?) Do some riders share settings with Jordi et al that are "working" for them that they are then happy for Jordi to relay to other riders? Like rider Y is struggling with dive at the front or the rear squatting too much and so Jordi can advise that rider X told them that they are using certain settings. Or is it a lot more secretive across the board?

[@a.r.8850]

Absolutely love this content. I don't know if any other sport gives insight of this depth but still feels so approachable. For Q&A: I always loved progressive suspension because bottom out is much more manageable. But elite downhill people seem to prefer linear suspension. Is that because they can reach very good suspension setups for every condition and risk less bottom out?

[@a.r.8850]

oh no, i lost the fox-like because of a small edit. hope you don‘t use the like to mark the questions you will use for Q&A

[@camshaft1840]

For Q/A, is there a mass recommendation for the fox riders suspension when going from dry conditions to sloppy wet conditions?

[@1969Escobar]

Thanks, great work guys, cheers 🍻

[@Teamsmash7379]

Jordy just seems like a rad dude!

[@FOXFACTORY]

Very!

[@TuckerPearce]

I agree!

[@DeterminedMTBiker]

Q&A - I'm a paralysed rider and have a trike with three shocks, 2 wheels on the front- how would you set that up? Sorry, let me add that my weight is centred in the middle and the rear shock sits behind me. All 3 are air shocks, the rear travel is probably not much more than 60mm as the manufacturer doesn’t offer a manual or specifications. The key area I need is traction from the rear wheel and fast/responsive action from the from so the trike doesn’t tip over too easily. I’ve already dropped the pressure in the front shocks but should I add spacers to reduce the progression?

[@Rumlen25]

Q & A: clarification on how the HSR & LSR are activated on the fork and shock. I find it quite easy to adjust the HSC & LSC and notice the difference; also understand shaft speed determines which compression valve is activated but i've heard different things for the HSR/LSR. HSR/LSR Q's: a) is HSR/LSR completely independent of shaft speed ? b) assuming yes for 'a' ... is HSR activated only in the last 1/3rd of the total stroke (deep in your travel) while LSR is activated in the first 2/3rd Any other nugs on rebound tuning that you think is noteworthy also welcomed. Cheers

[@jordicortes4993]

They function in exactly the same way, just in opposite directions. If you figure out one you’ve figured out both

[@HummusPower]

Q/A : Heard this on The Ride Companion but it’s a banger - It’s the Zombie Apocalypse and you’ve got your enduro bike and a bumbag .. and you can only take 3 items with you in the bumbag.. what are you taking?

[@dazzamtb27]

Q&A - If you were going to upgrade base level suspension on your trail bike, would you do the fork or the shock first?

[@mozsombi]

Good one, i’m also curious about this

[@jamescornelison2023]

fork

[@realchrisslater]

What the furck?

[@Opd351]

is there a "rider average" set up fo reach race? like by the end of fort bill is everyone essentially making the same types of changes because they're all riding the same track? or are there people who are on wildly different edges of the set up spectrum? i always assume by the end of the weekend it averages out to everyones slight take on the "ideal set up" for the track not including a couple outliers.

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Hey Jordi: Where rebound settings are tied to spring rate and spring rate is always tied to rider weight, is there any general 'Law of Jordi' regarding HSC and LSC? Meaning does a heavier rider "generally" need more or even less compression because of their higher spring rate? Same but opposite for a lighter weight rider? Or does compression always just boil down to rider preference, ability and terrain?

[@jhunt252006]

For Q/A. Other than incorrect sag, what is the number one thing you see the average rider doing incorrectly with their suspension?

[@LeoLikesBik3s]

What are the most common setup mistakes or fallacies you see out in the wild?

[@henri-basilhearne3480]

Q/A What is the biggest disaster that has ever happened at the fox pit at a DH race?

[@rideitproduction8442]

We need a "How to service your Fox 38"

[@anthonyrogers590]

Q&A.....do you guys like the new format? I didn't even get to watch the race

[@TimFromWales]

Question for next video - inspired by Jakes new facial hair - do any of the athletes have any facial or general hair rituals or superstitions for race week?

[@davidduplessis6105]

for Q/A What do you think Eddie masters google history would look like?

[@riderCraig]

Who in the fox pits is always tinkering with their suspension settings and who is the set it and forget it type?

[@johnhall304]

Saw Jordy at the Galbraith race, ask him how he did?

[@lilianaubert2906]

Q&A Would you recommend to service a brand new fork or is it always ready to ride? Feels like my 38 air spring does not have the best small bump sensitivity

[@joeytrimble21]

crushed that Braxton didn't make it down his full run

[@asun3630]

how dope is dialed!!! ❤ dialed and fox crew. You guys work so hard, no stone unturned. Def thought it was Kerrs and Rachels to lose. I wasn’t wrong. Just didnt come together. Heal up Rach… its funny cuz Rach and Nicole makes womens dh so much more heart pounding and fun to watch than mens. Yet mens is so f ing good too! That says a lot about them.

[@FOXFACTORY]

Appreciate it!!

[@creep2fass4u47]

How many forks did you service for World Champs???

[@Opd351]

do you think there are riders who don;t care enough about their suspension? and is it frustrating watching knowing they could be 1-2 seconds quicker if this just did X or Y

[@jeremysmith876]

Q&A: in the Dialed videos at each venue, more often than not, the women riders seem to have more intensity in the Fox pit than the men. Which field of riders, men or women, appear to be the most aggressive and intense riders?

[@jasperleckie2354]

Q/A = How did your media guys get the roll they got? Such a cool job to do something such as that.

[@KalenvS]

Q&A: Are there a few similarities between the top teams that make setting up a bike easier than other teams. If so, what are they? Love you guys thx :)

[@AlexStirzaker]

Q&A: what do the Fox team do during the off season?

[@tetaizozadja7080]

I have one question… why is Fox not doing anything about float X2 air shock?? it’s failing to everybody all the time… it fails you send it to service under warranty than wait 2 months get it back and in the firs run fails again… something needs to be done about this because it’s really expensive and people expect it to work for that price

[@ianprice3932]

Q&A - What's more important, dialed compression or dialed rebound? Why?

[@Ganiscol]

Just to get a debate started here: In my experience its rebound. With bad rebound settings it becomes unrideable and potentially dangerous real quick. Whereas bad compression feels increasingly bad over quite a settings range before it gets unrideable (if at all). Here is my order of importance: spring, rebound, compression

[@MTOProject]

Does Jordi ever miss Loris .. lol Does Loris ever stop by the pit to say hi like the old days??

[@ejej6934]

What percent of the riders this week were running Fox equipment?

[@mtbguy5231]

How to be a team meber of the sickest team ever -fox

[@dforgash]

Does Fox know who will be Jordy’s successor?

[@TuckerPearce]

Is he leaving?

[@joejuan5022]

there is no substitute

[@TuckerPearce]

Why do people keep asking this, where the heck is Jordi going?

[@meschenbruch]

Q&A: how do taj and jordi calibrate their arms for low vs high speed?

[@Ganiscol]

Rain is part of Scottish life, why would they be fazed by it? 😊 Look on the right side of rain: No fucking midgies! 😅

[@HelplmAlive]

Someone needs to get Greg Minnaar some tougher tires.

[@cyclingonandoffroad]

Question. Translate Minnaar to Dutch.

[@rockhopper70]

For Q&A, two weeks later, have you dried out yet?

[@gabrielmazza7923]

What came first, the chicken or the egg?

[@FOXFACTORY]

😂

[@01FozzyS]

Q/A: Does Shaffer still have his JDM van and story on it.

[@Kaisersozze]

Why didn't you guys show the podium?? I don't get it. Are the filming rights that fucken strict? It's so weird filming about the race without actually showing even the winners at the end.

[@MrSupermugen]

UCI really know how to do the opposite of a good viewing pleasure.........

[@calypso2niner]

Gonna have to just watch Dialed to find out what happened because they have made it so difficult and painful to watch MTB coverage this year. Can we get Red Bull back yet?

[@cwalt74]

yep the coverage is a tragedy

[@workhorsemtb7075]

In the USA it is non existent

[@oepfelbuetschgi]

Q&A: Whats the correct way to dial in an Fox 38 Factory? SAG, LSR, HSR, LSC, HSC? Do i need to dial in the whole bunch if i change the pressure oder f.e. the LSR?

[@JTS_Media]

I absolutely loved the crowd interactions!!

[@Opd351]

how much different is a freshly serviced WC fork compared to a stock fox fork?

[@tarekith]

Q&A: How much time do Jordy and the other Dialed mechanics spend fine tuning the suspension on their own bikes? Constantly tweaking and playing, or set it and forget it regardless of terrain?

[@tajhendry9798]

Its a never ending journey.

[@Ganiscol]

How could you be a suspension nerd without constantly dialing in the dials to make sure everything is dialed all the time? 😅

[@mrhaycock70]

Q/A for riders/teams - If all the mechanics were in a race who would be on the podium?. Top 3 or top 5.

[@ILoveImpulses]

Still drying out.
