Have you, like, listened to the lyrics of that song at all…?

1/4/2026 5:38pm Forbidden is distributed by Lusty in Australia based in Jack's home area and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up riding a Forbidden soon. But they are also the Transition distro over here, so that's equally likely.

1/4/2025 4:22pm Oli was riding in Thredbo last week with Frotha. Broke a finger apparently. I did see his girlfriend wheeling away an Orbea ebike....

2/16/2024 3:59pm No. He was owner of the team called Intense Factory Racing for a few years. The same entity is now called Gwin Racing. Before that IFR was actually a factory owned team.

2/7/2024 4:46pm People talking about what Gwin might get paid on a "factory" team vs Gwin Racing are missing the point that Gwin Racing is exactly the same organisation as IFR was last year with Dak replaced with another younger, probably cheaper rider. He's been the team owner for a while. He's a good businessman and I'm sure he'll have some lucrative...

2/5/2024 3:08pm Yep, made by CST which is Maxxis parent company. They did a super soft 40A version which was like the old Maxxis slow reezay compound. I bought some at half price after Gwin switched to Kenda and they were super sticky. Tore up real quick though and only available in 2.4" which felt a bit skinny on the front.

The admittedly unclear implication was that “we” derailed the thread and I neither endorsed unsanctioned trails nor demonized them. I just gave us a new place to argue about it. I am keenly aware of and sensitive to the potential for unsanctioned trails to impact legal access. I more took issue with the term eco-crimes and the idea that these trails cause any more meaningful damage than legal trails which seemed a bit extreme in the grand scheme of the late capitalist human shitshow. I will say that the original sin of American MTB occurred in a place where to...

To be honest..I have been on the Vans BMX Shoes for a while now. Currently on the Courage Adams Pro Model and have been by far the best for me personally..regarding the pedals, (OneUps)and the soles are still going. After more that 1 season riding 4-5 times a week and a price tag of approx. 50CHF - that is pretty cool to see. I also stocked up and purchased 3 pairs on sale. So far so good and they double up as casual shoes when they start falling apart. I loved the Gravel Shoes but here in Switzerland they were...

1/17/2024 2:43pm Vans have a whole Pro BMX range currently that make great flat pedal MTB shoes. I've been running the BMX Style 114 for about 6 months and love it.

1/9/2024 11:26pm Um, have you not been paying attention? Yeti built a new DH bike for Richie last year because he said he wanted to do some DH racing. Like a fully finished carbon DH bike ready for production.

So who was Jeff building frames for in that post? And why was MS rider Trummer on an M1? Do we need more clues at this point? Not saying Dak is on it (hoping he is), but MS Intense seems pretty obvious at this point.
