It can't be a very strong wheel with the spoke tension so out of balance. Wait, that sounded too much like Pinkbike.

I've heard the jumps are nice in Trinidad, but that it's the trannies that really stand out.

I'm a paramedic in Fort Collins and helped support the High Park fire fighters, I also happen to be a mountain biker. There is a lot of trail building going on in the burn area which is pretty cool to see, it makes for great freeride terrain already costing me two broken helmets! Nice video and it's great that something good can come out of something so tragic for many. I hope the trail building continues and that the public continues to see the results.

Can't believe he blew his chance to come clean about doping to win all those World Cups...

Aside from the subjective matter of whether or not Gwin "did the right thing" here, from a legal point of view, a Letter of Intent is just that - a letter that describes intent. Clearly, Gwin intended to sign with TWR as stated in the Aug 13 release, but for whatever reason, did not do so. We can only speculate as to why that is, at this point. However, that clearly means there was no breach of CONTRACT here when he signed with Specialized (because there was no contract for 2013 and onwards in place between him and TWR).

As for the potential for a legal challenge, one would assume that would only have merit if TWR were able to prove that Gwin acted in a grossly negligent or malicious manner, which has caused damage to TWR's racing program (by for example signing with Specialized so late in the gameso as to cause TWR not to have a chance to make a counter-offer or to be able to sign another top rider). It's all speculation at this point though, without having more facts - the only sure thing is that if there is a legal conflict, the lawyers always come out on top - how else could they afford all those penthouse apartments?

June STILL seems too far away though.
