Dictioanry police here. Sir, are you aware of what the word implode means and how it's incompatible with going from the inside out? It's literally the opposite of going from the inside out. That would be exploding. That's kind of word battery carries a long ... sentence.

I tinkered with their EDC tool at the bike shop one afternoon. Little bits went everywhere and I like to never got them back in. If not for the shop counter, I'd have lost half the stuff in it. How do people use them trail side in leaves, dirt and mud and still come home with the whole thing intact?

Is literally everyone having their grips made in the same factory? What’s minimum order? Want some pro Iqbals that have are the same as everyone else’s but just have a single longitudinal line one em so I feel symmetry. Iqbal Sym grip. I’d buy em. Big up one up though.

It's an enormous waste of time and a great way to get tired before your race. There are races where walking the tracks could mean 12 miles of hiking before your race, after getting off a plane from the other side of the planet. We have bikes. We can ride the tracks.

3/27/2019 4:58pm shameless self-promotion... its not all MTB, but on The Memory Pilot Podcast we cover things that the #athletephilosopher may find interesting.... you can find on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google.... or just listen to embeds on www.memorypilot.com... next one is going to be about weight training basics with Jarret Kolich who is Blake Baggett's new trainer as well as Eliot...

You aren't wrong here. 20+20 = not much time to move. That said, both of us are "part of the problem" if we are going downhill so fast we can't avoid whoever is around the corner ahead. Blazing by a hiker who is cowering out of the way isn't exactly a positive for trial access...regardless of if there is a collision. This is exactly what is leading to trail issues (and potential closures) more-so than E-Bikes IMO. E-Bikes are just easier for us to go "them, THEM! Those are the guys causing problems!" Shades of grey I suppose... What is...

A little context to this may help. The GNCC series a couple years ago began allowing ebikes to be ridden to pre-ride the race course to scope lines etc. Before that, riders were allowed to ride the course on bicycles, but being a GNCC moto/atv course, it was brutal. The ebikes allowed riders to get around easier, saving energy for the race. There are literally hundreds of ebikes at the GNCC races already. Kids, dads, pro racers, everyone has them! I assume it only made sense to create a race for them as well, mostly for fun. Just wanted to...

One thing to mention is that till the moment of Richie and Jared testing positive EWS was on a rapid rise with Sam switching to race proper courses, Martin showing that he soon will be the best gravity rider , increasing "awareness" of how gnarly the enduro racing has become, in stark contrast to perception of UCI DH and taking more and more from sponsorship pie. With the Richie and Jared debacle I think the momentum will be lost. Regardless of what EWS does, it will lose and will lose badly, not only as a business/race series, but also...

3/10/2019 8:39am The problem is that you aren’t looking from the standpoint of the other riders and you are wanting too much to elevate to hero status some riders and minimize the impacts of the actions on the sport. 1) The substances they used are of a certain class with certain penalties, so they will get what they get based on this...

3/9/2019 8:33am thats what it was before- EWS was not going to test you itself, but if you were suspended by anyone, anywhere, you were out of EWS forever... i never thought that was a realistic policy though... and they certainly dodged a bullet by aligning themselves with the UCI/CADF...now, nobody is looking at Chris to sort out Rude and Graves.... they...

Just as a note- Jon Bekefy aka harley marketing guy was at Alta motors before they went under(after Harley supposedly bought some of their tech.....) I'm pretty sure he knows what he is doing, or at least knows what he is saying when trying to cross-brand these things.

My 2 cents in this, I'm inclined to believe negligence for two reasons: It turns out I've been 'doping' since 2017 too - from the photos of Jared's supps on here it turns out the PES Alphamine Advanced I take to get a sweat on at the gym has Higenamine in it, though not the regular Alphamine which I also have in the cupboard. I didn't even realise there were two different types of it. Both are readily available to consumers as a fat-burner - hardly secret blood bags. It may seem like a silly cop-out, but I totally get...

11/27/2018 12:22pm you are right in the last point... at the same time that YB saw what he saw, and at the same time that there is now doubt about the true level of the field... it doesn't have to be about "believe Richie and Jared", but maybe it is time for riders to make a more forceful statement about what the...
