a concussion will make you chill out for a second. surprised he could walk away steady. glad he was OK.

Rheeder's 3/4 turn into the left on the big line in the rhythm room was nice (min 1:25).

That's the cheat code alright. Not too keen on sending Fox stuff to Push. Considered the heavier springs but don't wanna make it too stiff. Using all my travel right now, not bottoming, but it needs to be way stiffer for pedal sections. Getting factory rebuilds now and will play with low speed compression a whole lot upon return. Also, if I set sag to recommended values, the bike is a mess. I can dial my XC and AM bikes in no prob but the DH bike seems so much more finicky.

Great comments. Running Fox as well, racing as well. Know my setup needs to be custom tuned. Wondering who you use?

This turned out to be an awesome thread. I really like SRAM as a company. At Windahm, they were doing free rebuilds and service for citizens racing. One citezen's fork was so bad they GAVE him a brand new boxxer. The other big suspension guys were there too, for the pros only. Even with an empty booth and 4 reps standing around, didn't really even want to talk. That really stuck with me. So many companies have great products, especially with tooling and machining getting more affordable, and rapid prototyping getting faster and faster. What I am saying is that sometimes the differentiator becomes customer service. Just look at how many suspensn companies are out there right now with products that pros are pushing really hard. My initial reaction to this video stemmed more from disappointment that the customer service aspect may have taken a turn. In any case, I'm glad it was a joke. No one expects the boehemoeth to market like a boutique. It's a win for sure.

Nice. You're a ripper for sure. I can tell by how fast you type.

I once raced a Cat 1 single speed 30 miler and came in dead last, 20 mins after the leader. If I would have had this shock, things would have been different and you know it.

OK - I just took the time to watch the whole commercial. @ 03:18: "Sadly, 97% of riders lack the skill to push the vivid to it's limits." Ya, I fell for it. Good job RS. Pretty creative execution with the whole deadpan delivery.

@ :34 secs: "…so advanced that many riders will never be able to reap the true benefits of its capabilities." What an a$$hole statement. Cummon Jeremiah Boobar quick being a dick and just explain the product as if you were talking to guys that like to send it. We know you guys are proud but is the geeked out elitism necessary?

Have you seen the crowds at the podium for Windham? Especially in 2012....

Thanks Vital and thanks Aaron. Appreciate the info. Good luck in 2013 Gwin & Spec.

"sometimes when I'm racin, I just start laughing."

Downset and pajama suits. What's not to like?

Sick with it. The front flip at :56 is bananas.

am i reading that right? 112 kmh = 70mph? Yeah, he did almost explode but this is still baller. its big and so fast and on sub par equipment.
