That is a great set of shots and descriptions. A personal story, tales of adventures, and typical Dave Trumpore photo eye candy. This is the good stuff and unique to Vital. I'm all for seeing pictures and videos of races, fast riders, steezy style, and big lines, but the bike life is seldom covered, especially as eloquently as this. More of this, please. I love it.

Reviewed by Brandon Turman and Evan Turpen // Photos by Lear Miller Billed as a hardtail for riders that don’t like hardtails, Niner's new ROS 9 brings the simplest form of mountain biking up to speed in a glorious, in your face, 4130 Cro-Mo fashion. Niner isn’t shy about what the bike was intended for, and when questioned about the ROS name you’re likely to hear “RIDE OVER SH*T!” It’s a fitting name, too, because that’s exactly what us bunch of hooligans did during our 2014 Vital MTB Test Sessions in Sedona, Arizona. Buried deep in a garage filled with...

I haven't seen this helmet up close but biggest concern with putting foam of any other soft material on the outside of the helmet is the increased risk of neck injury. This has been talked about in football helmet development. While the extra layer of material on the outside will without a doubt help absorb direct impacts, it can also get caught on things and increase rotational forces on the head. Think about going over the bar and sliding down the hill. Often your head just glides right along on the hard shell of your helmet. Add in a softer...

To the people who will actually ride this trail sorry for the delay, but they will understand once they ride it. For us to open our first "Pro Line" labeled trail and it not to be completely dialed is a great way of ensuring us of never getting the chance to build another. Patience. Hater's keep hatin' true rider's keep havin fun riding their bikes and when you're riding at Trestle Bike Park you better go fast cause someone's always watching!

I'm not disputing with you, but I think I understand their justification for building it: it diversifies the park, attracts a new segment of riders, and gives the park some flagship features to showcase in promotional material. Sure very few riders will hit Hot Wheels -- your estimation of 30% is very generous, IMO -- but how many people hit the big lines in the Bone Yard, yet everyone has heard of it, even if they have never been to Whistler? The hugeness draws people in, even if they will never hit any of the features in their lifetime. So...
