Buddy, lots of people on here have done lots of cool stuff, are doing lots of cool stuff, know many amazing people and are also very involved in the bike industry at many different levels or are those people that are racing. They just don't use it to try to boost and make it seems like their comments or opinions matter more than others. If you want to be taken seriously I'd chill and show some respect to all the people you name dropped enough not to use them to try and elevate yourself above someone else.

Anytime a company addresses bike fit for people who aren't average dimensions, that's a win. Very cool.

10/17/2023 5:56am Finally some one who knows the struggle. I’m 6’ and my inseam is 31”. Ive rode a medium for damn near my whole life so that I could drop my seat low enough. only with the most modern bikes has that changed some.

10/12/2023 2:57pm Virtually every shop I have ever been in: “We don’t have that at the moment, but we can order it for you.” I can order it too, and it’ll come straight to my house. I’m going to install it myself anyway regardless of where it was purchased. Why would I make a second trip? Complete bikes are the same. I’m...
Buckets Up Added a reply to Redbull Rampage 2023
9/15/2023 5:17pm First, like I said originally, he is extremely capable of amazing single feature feats. Rampage is not a single feature or best trick event. And backflips are unequivocally more difficult than a tuck no-hander, both in execution and risk.

9/15/2023 3:35pm Gatekeeping is generally a bad thing. Not inviting someone to Rampage is not gatekeeping, full stop. The number of fans someone has should play no role in the decision process. If it did, do we invite Seth's Bike Hacks? Again, Dylan is amazing at fulfilling the niche he's created, but he did not have 'style' at Rampage. A big part...

9/14/2023 5:00pm Dylan stark is a phenomenal rider in certain regards. He can step to very impressive single feature moves (i.e., Moreno Valley). He does not, however, have the refined braking and fine bike control skills necessary for a legit Rampage run. It was evident last year. He was tentative and lacked flow across his run compared to everyone else. This will...
TEAMROBOT Liked a comment about video Why Taylor Sage Wanted to Cut His Finger Off

This whole podcast was a great listen. Sage rode with a pretty serious group of riders but he always had the most pop and the best looking whips. Cool to hear the backstory, especially the history of digging and learning from others. Very cool.

Buckets Up Added a reply to Catastrophic Full-Face Helmet Failure!
6/16/2023 11:28am Judging by the scratch on the forehead of your helmet and the chin bar breaking, you impacted directly to your face pretty hard. Just because it was 'slow speed' and you didn't hurt anything else doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. Did you make contact with your face first and nothing else? What contacted your face? Did you hit a...

I quoted part of your second to last paragraph to speak to and then I will leave it, because you are right, its hard to discuss nuance in text. "I am signaling that I feel support of influencer culture is less cool than support of the competitive side of the sport." On a personal level, I actually whole heartedly agree with you. My point is that, there are other people out there who do not have this view, and while 'we' might not understand it, their view is not any less valid because 'we' don't share it. So, when it...

I have not missed your point, but you are clearly missing mine. Troy Lee can choose to support any person for any reason they see fit. That may be because they are a racer or an influencer, it doesn’t matter. There may be a huge population of young people who are not interested in split times, but are interested in their favorite online artist/rider/influencer. That is who this line is made for. That is who this marketing is for. That is Troy Lee the company’s decision to make. Guess what, not everyone values racing the same as you. So supporting...

Guess what? None of this is about you or for you. And I’m using ‘you’ both personally and as a larger term for 30-45 year old historically stereotypical males of mountain biking, which I assume you largely are. This line of clothing was not designed for you. This marketing campaign wasn’t derived to appeal to you. Not everything within bicycling has to be for you or about you. And when it is not about you, you do not need to respond and complain because it doesn’t fit your view of what should be happening.
