Good, the sooner tear offs are banned all round the better. And when a company gets round to making a remote roll off system loic can have an extra button on his bar

I love the internet. I won't speak for David, but I do think its worth pointing out you've probably ridden stuff he's engineered (he's ex-SRAM/Rockshox, specifically a rear shock engineer). One thing I find really interesting as I get older is just how much harder it is to ascribe real correlation to an event, despite what may seem obvious. Turns out, there are often many variables to consider, and anecdotes by themselves don't hold as much water as we humans wish. In your case, I'd wager heavier/smashier riders go through shocks at a higher rate regardless of application. How much...

the stegasaurus fins definitely seem unnecessarily dangerous.

Meh... This is gonna go off the rails again, isn't it? Dang it. Gonna have to rip down my days since calendar:

the rat boy rip is so good! and have the roots always looked this gross?? holy cow!

Since we’re all making assumptions here, I’d assume downvotes are for reviewing a brake (that’s not secret or prototype) in the tech rumors thread. Please end the discussion about that brake here and take it to the brake thread. I’ve nuked that last handful of replies about it and orig review. and whoa that flight attendant reservoir!

"It was concluded that no acute effects on nerve function in the dominant hand were measured after mountain bike cycling on the trail, despite high vibration doses through the handlebars." Am I missing something or does this imply there's nothing to worry about?

I would join the Global Conservation Mountain Biking Club and buy a yacht to park in Princess Louisa Inlet and ride these trails: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO1RL9jF_wdZDgpg_Fc5xVBHiYwl-oYQHi… Not my photos. There is a thread on the other site's forums that talk about this organization and these trails. There is a bit of background in the 2nd last paragraph here: https://www.princesslouisa.bc.ca/history "An organization called Global Conservation Mountain Biking Club, whose actual owners have not been revealed, has bought a waterfront parcel. When the society learned that the mountain bikers would come into the inlet by helicopter there was some concern. Yet in the last...

@repackreminisces i'm all in favor of huge jumps. i thought hardline tasmania was rad. i think fest is rad. if they're going to make jumps out of scaffolding, they should be well designed jumps without punji sticks in the gap...no different than clearing logs and sticks outside of b-zones in a DH race. like i said in another post, i don't care what the jumps made out of..the "it's not natural" thing doesn't personally bother me much anymore considering ladders and built stunts have existed in MTB for 30 years or more. i'm really surprised that w/ scaffolding and the...

Wasn’t a fan of this feature before and definitely even less of a fan after seeing BK and Jim do it BK almost landed to far to the left and ran off the landing in that direction which looks like it would be disastrous. And the compression from the transition was enough to spit Jimbo off his bike. It’s just not a good feature, imo. Reminds me of Sam Reynolds (I believe it was) refusing to do a rampage run because they wouldn’t put up safety netting. They need netting on this.

person with most downvotes gets a week-long visit by bizutch (who is not eligible b/c he def wins).

I started a petition for Gee Atherton to please chill out already: https://www.change.org/gee_please_stop

Looks super chill

teamrobot set a record for forum thumbs up, so here's a preview of what's to come (unlisted, only for the special people in this forum topic) regarding taking out pawls and testing ochain.

Would y'all want to see a 15-minute VitalMTB video with back-to-back testing on a section of brutal rocky chunder with different pedal kickback theories to see if the Ochain really works as advertised?

What if the buttons don't do anything but the engineers tell Loic and Finn they do? "Okay big guy, you can choose between boost-blaster setting, super boost-blaster setting, or ultra boost-blaster setting. Now go fast!"

Can we petition Hope to release the custom levers Joe Barnes is using.....I really want tech4's but I hate the lever shape so much when I've tried them (not the length....just the shape).
