the intermediate knobs were the issue with the previous nevegal as well... if you cut them off, or cut off every other, you have an incredible tire... if the new X pro model is faster and has a more supportive casing, then i wonder what would happen if you cut off the intermediate knobs?...

do you really think the UCI keeps Mtb down?! that's silly. Mtb is as up or down as people want it to be. Don't forget the lesson you were supposed to learn from the last episode of "Lost". IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DETAILS OF THE STORY, IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE AND THEIR CONNECTION TO EACH OTHER. It's the people that make Mtb what it is, not the UCI and surrounding drama. It's inevitable that the UCI sanctions Enduro, and I think in the long run it will benefit the elite level of racing, as well as bring in new money...

It's doing exactly what they want it to do and that's expose their brand with minimum cash investment to the demo that will appreciate their angle. Funny thing is mysoginist posts are the most popular threads on most forums and brands like Unit and Fatal are dominated by half naked women on their tees. Sex sells even if your not buying, someone is. Just ask Skin industries how much they made in the last decade from silhouettes of naked big breasted women on their tees. I'm pretty sure this brand could care less if everyone in MTB agrees. By the...

Straight jacked that post! That's how you do it son! I need to order some trucker hats with VP logos. I like the ones you did for Suntour. Email me. Seriously.

whatevs man.. thats life... it was a big ask.. i dont really know what anyone expects sometimes... dont worry i am not dissapointed Kirill... its just bikes and i think all the people who paid all the money understood the risks, or should have.. so i dont feel sorry for them.... DJ Brandt needs more sponsorship, and he is pretty awesome, so maybe next time you guys can throw some help his way if want to reduce your risk a bit... PM me...

i think you have to look at things a little differently... i am seeing things as a person who has come through a functional system of racing to be a pro rider... and i dont see any reason why MTB cant work the same way IF people change their idea about things and support MTB racing... as a JR and Cat3 road racer i had entry fees paid by my club and a ride to races in a team van... there were 15 kids on my team with the same deal and at least 5 other teams just like mine...so...

just depends on where you are in this... as a promoter i think equal prize money is the right thing to do and so i pursue this... economically prize money in grassroots MTB doesnt make any sense for anyone because the scene is so used to not getting paid... for me it isnt about economics... some people dont agree, and they run their races differently... thats cool... i just believe in creating the world you want to live in.. so my race has an affordable entry fee, deep prizes in all categories, and prize parity... i didnt used to think...
