Buckets Up Added a reply to What if: There were no rumors, only a draft
12/31/2024 2:07pm I’d argue he’s about the safest bet outside Loic but he’s a ~decade younger so a much better foundation to build from. Gotta risk it a little

12/31/2024 1:40pm I’d consider taking Jackson number one overall.
Buckets Up Added a reply to What's the deal with Rockshox crush washers?
12/2/2024 12:08pm Can I partially hijack this thread? When servicing a RockShox fork, the old crush washer often gets stuck in its little recess in the foot-bolts. Is there a trick to getting those out efficiently. There have been multiple times I have struggled for a looonng time tying to wedge that thing out.

I would assume the whole pulley assembly rotates with the pivot?

They were cool looking weren't they. The big shiver up front makes this one just look like an absolute huck / freeride weapon.

If Rocky brought back a modern RM-Series bike, it would jump to the top of my list of bikes I'd want. I've always loved the lines of them.

All valid points. You're also usually not getting much of a warranty or customer service. But yeah you're cutting out one or multiple middle men and marketing costs. As you noted, a ton of western brand stuff is made in China anyways. And hilariously, even if you buy USA made goods you may now also be supporting a dictatorship.

Buckets Up Added a reply to 140 laps A/B test data -- considerations for future mtb data projects for readers and test riders
11/5/2024 10:19am Two-Way ANOVA (predict lap times according to factors of bike and date) and include an interaction effect. Then if present you can test the slope of the regression lines to determine the rate of change in lap times differs between bikes (Team Robots) notes above!

I don't even see Rampage as the best avenue for his riding/marketing. Real Street was actually quite good for him. Like obviously whatever placing he got on real street wasn't what he got at Rampage. And he missed some of his cues on Rampage which wouldn't have even scored much higher but I really really wanted to see a proper flair at Rampage, and not just a flatspin hip or whatever. I love what he brings. Doesn't mean I need to see him at Rampage. Although as a BMX guy he can do a lot of slope stuff like Semenuk...

11/1/2024 4:16pm I re-read your first post after I already clicked submit on mine and realized they mostly aligned. And to an extent, I should probably take a cue from you, looking bummed on a podium probably shouldn't be harped on, people are due emotions. However, I still think a longer form response on a podcast where he straight up claimed he...

A) this is why i sneakily put HIMSELF in the original statement. (apparently B turns into an emoji... so b) i am not pushing for stark to get back in, nor have i seen anybody really push for it in this thread. unless it was somewhere in that last post? also he did not flip the canyon, he did a tuck no hander on the canyon. he's def not a '1st place rampage rider', he is the guy you invite SPECIFICALLY to have a moment like the rail moment. its dylan you KNOW there is going to be hijinks around...

11/1/2024 10:54am I have to push back on Stark a bit. He was absolutely a savage BMX rider, but I would suspect his inability to rise to the top had other factors at play beyond on the bike talent (more on that below). As for Dylan in mountain biking, he has done some cool stuff and put our some wildly entertaining videos...

10/28/2024 10:37am The only utility I potentially see for points is with the competitors and the decision to take a second run. Let us say two riders both complete a top to bottom run 1 and are slotted next to each other in the rankings. Rider A tricks every major feature in their line and has no discernible hiccups. Rider B leaves...

10/22/2024 11:27am That is a wild rumor. If any resort(s) in Utah were set-up to host a large bike event it would be Deer Valley (ultimately the same corporate overlords as Solitude, Alterra) or Park City (Vail Resorts). Solitude has limited parking, limited accommodations, and limited restaurants. Everyone would need to stay in Salt Lake Valley and drive 30-40 minutes up each...

10/20/2024 3:28am You got me (I mean him). Made an account in 2010 at age 14 (if I were TVS) just in case I needed to defend my future self and Rampage performance on Vital decades later.
