Welcome to the world of stitched parts. There's a balance between aesthetics and machine time that has to be struck so that you all don't have to pay more than you already do for the link. You tighten up those step overs and run time goes through the roof pretty quick. 0.005" step overs aren't free.

Hey StudBeefpile, this is Charlie Sponsel. I live in Silverdale and I'm on the board of Evergreen Westsound. I'm helping lead an Evergreen work team to "flowify" the trail Derailed right now, and I'd love to hear your feedback more in detail. Our goal was to make this blue beginner flow trail more fun for beginners and for expert riders, too. Sounds like you're not a big fan of the changes that are happening at Port Gamble. Please contact me at charliesponsel@gmail.com or, even better, give me a call at 503-819-XXXX. We always appreciate feedback, and even more than feedback...

The best trails have always been the unsanctioned and illegal ones... no different now.

When I lived in California, I would have installed CushCore for a year straight to have an org like Evergreen. I see what you’re saying about Raging River, but I’ll provide a different perspective. Some of the new trails out there, including the new DH trail, are down right awesome. Poppin Tops is great for new riders or riders new to the area. It’s easily accessible and lets people learn at their own pace. Tiger has a bit of everything. Same with Galbraith. And I know this is sounding like an a-hole, but if you don’t like what Evergreen is...

ha, i actually just did that for this race only. not both. you can listen to it here on this page or in the podcast channel. #nextyear : )

TBH I think we might shut the company just for this comment.

Damn ppl are angry against something they don't even have to buy. If you want to wrap your frame, GO WITH RideWrap. Nothing to say except exceptional quality ! I used an Invisiframe kit too, the coverage is not as elaborate and you don't have as many thing into the kit. Happy to see that now RW even offers shampoo in the kit! Don't have to buy the JnJ baby shampoo that you won't really use. Keep up the good work, I'll keep wrapping my frames

Chasejj keeping his stats up on being one of the most toxic commenters on Vital

@chasejj : I don’t ride carbon fiber and thinking about resale isn’t dumb, it’s good forward thinking but from the sounds of it you probably think Roth’s and 401k’s are dumb too huh? I’m guessing your money is buried in the backyard in a coffee can somewhere

Help us understand this one please. We don't spoil the results of World Cups where there is a replay of the race to watch, but in what way are we spoiling the EWS experience for you here?

I remember taking Brandon straight to one of the steepest DH trails in town with a really intimidating drop in for his day of testing the original Sentinel and SBG Patrol. Brand new bikes never ridden... He cruised down the road a hundred feet to try and bed the brake pads in. After that... game on! Pretty rad to be able to take a "media guy" on that kind lap over and over. Such a fun day riding and testing.
