Love seeing trails made the way they were in the past, rake it, then ride it!

12/8/2020 9:27am I have about 20mm of spacers under my stem and the One Up bars in the 35mm rise. I have shoulder issues and find a higher bar height is less stress on them. I will get on friends bikes that have minimal rise and I feel like I am going over the handlebars. I have tried moving a 5mm spacer...

11/13/2020 3:37pm I am all for new riders and giving them the best experience and to progress, but losing great natural tech trails to flow trails sucks. Killington took a few out. I always think about the late 90's when someone would clear (not build) a new trail. We were so excited to go ride it on our hard tail with 80mm...

Worst: Maxxis Aggressor - sucks for climbing, doesn't stop well, should have gone with a Minion SS, 'cause at least it can corner SRAM Guide - not as good as Levels or cantis Bontrager Blaze helmet with Wavecel - expensive, hot and heavy, just what I want in a halfshell helmet Best: Carbon rims on everything - no more flat spots Vorsprung Luftkappe - amazing Dropper posts that aren't Reverbs - most rides I use my dropper more often than I shift Jury's Out: Intoxicated while riding - set some PRs while hammered, but it seems like a bad idea...

10/28/2020 3:39pm Some stuff I have had good luck with: One Up bars, I have nerve damage in both arms and these made a huge difference. Ergon grips help also but I find the grip is less important with these bars. I like everything One Up makes, as said by others, have not tried the stem. Stan's Dart, only had to use...

We think alike, Eddie! The ESC dumped UCI and USAC and banned tearoffs long ago. Then attendance exploded.

Anyone on here ever tried to put on a race with UCI qualifying points? It is not cheap. Then you will sometimes get big riders there and they don't need the points but fly in and take them all up. Like Eddie said, you would need to win 2 or 3 of those races to get the points, but if a few trade team guys show up then the local fast guys are racing for 5th place points at best. Don't get me wrong, it was great seeing Gwin at Plattekill, one year there were several top riders. There go...

Batts Added a reply to UCI DH Rule Unclear - DSQ for Riding Over a Course-Marking Pole?
10/16/2020 2:34pm Wasn't this brought up in one of the last turns at Lenzerheide a few years ago. Riders were hoping over a pole that was pulled over by the tape. I think it was determined that the tape was the line, not the pole? Also, if it is up to the protest, who protested Tahnee in Leogang??? Atherton's???

She goes off in the same manner, but she goes around a pole or two instead of riding over one.
