Interesting, I've been running procore for 2 seasons and though it works well for flat protection it is a royal pain in the rear maintenance wise. Can't wait for your shoot out!

3/15/2017 1:28pm No love for Neko Mulally? "It was really only a matter of time until the Director of Good Times would end up with YT. Brett Tippie is now part of the YT Family and takes his place alongside Aaron Gwin, Cam Zink, and Andreu Lacondeguy."

1/18/2017 8:19am I've been thinking about this since watching Ratboy's interview and I understand where they are coming from (on a lower level!). I believe the biggest stoke of mountain biking is when it gets so intense you get totally thrown into the moment. No thinking, just doing, a very Zen state. Many Eastern philosophers say the only time you can experience...

1/18/2017 3:34am Maxipedia, you rock! Loved reading your last two posts. I could feel your passion. I remember feeling that way waiting for my bmx and skateboard magazines when I was in my teens. As I've gotten older I don't enjoy reading about the latest/greatest bike anymore and I'm not much of a spectator (I ride during Joyride at Crankworx and watch...

1/18/2017 2:53am Years ago Jurgen Beneke and I were discussing tracks that would look good on TV (to the masses) and he said, "there are three things the general public likes, high speed, big air and crashes. If we want to get downhill racing on TV we need a 60mph section, and a couple of huge airs (this was 1999, Sol Vista...

Crazy! Here is a shot looking down the start ramp. That's at the Garden Route Trail Park, near Knysna South Africa. Got to watch them practice one day this winter. It took me a minute just to stand up on that platform, insane, the g-out had to be massive!

3/30/2016 9:37am Cool thread. When I was 44 I hit this 48 foot gap at the 2010 US National Championships in Sol Vista. Miss that rad park and it's original trail crew.

I agree, Oakridge is fun, not doesn't live up to the hype. It is pretty one dimensional riding, fast, mostly flowy with a few janky corners but no real challenge other than speed. No rocks, big features or steeps. BC has a much bigger variety of fun, challenging trails.

That was such a fun track! Skinny bars, Bernie was pinned and the average speed was fast. Cedric Gracia raced there in 2002? I think that was Squirrel doing the walk around 360 in a Dirt Farm t-shirt. Rob Sears on the Mountain Cycle and Gail Dalagher on a white Dirt Works near the end of the video.

Please at least try and contact a company before posting this sort of thing. The same story has been floated about elsewhere and I'm fairly sure Marzo have said its just their moto range and the mtb side will be unaffected. The last thing they need is for unconfirmed rumours just as the mtb side is really picking up speed again and making some great products.

Body position, body position, body position! Those that made stayed above their bike and those that failed were below their bike. A challenging corner for sure but if you understand how to corner you will be able to make it consistently.

The new Freeride VXI with the smooth sole are sick too! Light, tacky and comfortable.

Shawn Neer crossing the finish line and moving into the hot seat for about 30 riders (at 24 seconds in)! He hucked the mega finish line jump further than anyone and ended up 20th!
