12/24/2021 7:22am Keegan Wright off Devinci. Hopefully that's because he's already signed with someone else, because the guy's luck has been crap lately. Similar to Dean Lucas trying to get home, he's repeatedly shown up to the airport to try to fly back home and repeatedly not been able to board a plane. He's now just given up and is going to...

Hey FLFlatLander, could you do us all a favor and tone down your thinly-veiled political commentary by maybe 8 or 9 notches?

12/23/2021 10:08am I don't really care one way or the other, nor am I triggered. I'm also not judging the models. They're free to do whatever they want and make a living however they see fit. I'm all for legalizing and legitimizing the sex worker industry, in all honesty. What I (and I think most others) are critiquing is the judgement of...

12/23/2021 9:57am RE: Liability on public lands No clue if it's different in other states, but the liability issue isn't that big of a problem on public lands. Even private landowners are getting a lot of local protections for allowing recreational use of their lands.

Something I'd love to see emphasized in mountain biking is the construction of more trails close to population centers to reduce drive time and carbon emissions for trail users. I'm thinking of areas like Eagle Bike Park in Boise, Galbraith Mountaiin Bellingham, or even little old Patapsco State Park near Baltimore. There's an unbelievable demand for outdoor recreation right now, but so many perfectly good potential riding/hiking/running areas near cities are essentially lying fallow. This forces outdoor users to drive farther to access recreation. I think this can be a big win for mountain bikers, because instead of looking like...

Not sure what right-wing blog you got that "proof" from, but it is well known that our continuous consumption, using up resources and carbon emissions are accelerating climate change to a point that we won't recover from. The "green thing" is just trying to get everyone to change as much as they can across the board.....it might start off small but its better than nothing and hopefully builds enough momentum that things actually change

12/23/2021 9:38am I don't think anyone is mad about seeing pics of "chicks." I think that people are questioning the judgement of a group of male athletes who were putting out a product based on the objectification of women, in a sport that is trying to equalize women's role as participating athletes, not relegate them to arm candy and "monster girls."

12/22/2021 3:52pm 1) What calendar? Also asking for a friend. 2) Did you all pick up that Charlie Murray (Chaz Maz) has only been seriously riding bikes for 4 years? So crazy. 3) Eddie is in that video because he (and Pivot) basically supported Charlie in his first year racing abroad before he got his deal with Specialized.

12/22/2021 11:45am My son has ridden a Status 140 for the last year. It's definitely a fun bike, and he's enjoyed (and ridden) the hell out of it. He's likely getting something more race-worthy soon (though his results were good on the Status), but he plans on keeping the status as a play bike / backup. It's really great as a rut...

12/22/2021 9:37am Ahh yep. You're right. I see the hashtag #goodtimes on their posts as well. I guess a lot of people use the hashtag/saying (FastHouse does as well, I believe).

12/22/2021 9:30am Done deal? I was curious, as he hashtagged his YT farewell instagram post with #goodtimes as the only hashtag, which is a hashtag that GT and GT riders use pretty often. Also curious if GT is going to be putting out a new Fury this year. It's ALSO GT's 50th anniversary this coming year.

8/9/2021 1:17pm USAC is such a poor fit for MTB, especially for gravity-based MTB. Evidently the young DH hooligans were heckling USAC officials at Winter Park this year. Though I don't condone disrespect, I can see where they're coming from. The USAC officials looked like a bunch of bird watchers and the types of people who probably lobby their city council to...

Hey guys, just wanted to jump on here and say thank you to all who is supporting me throughout this situation! It means a lot to have you guys backing me through it. It was a tough pill to swallow forsure but I know everything will work out in the end. Excited to get on track this weekend in Maribor!

Haha. I didn't realize that was Austin from Rooted that replaced my son's hanger on his Status after he sheered it on his DH run. Thanks Austin!

I’m not sure they’re going to make it out of Winter Park. I told Gwinn that the Rooted guys said he was overrated on their last podcast.
