What's up Zuman! What parts of the video (assuming you are referring to video) felt like we were trolling for the comment section?

Honestly wasn't aware the term 'acoustic bikes' carried so much distaste from fellow riders. I'm down to call bikes what ever people would like to help clarify the category of bicycle. Mountain bikes and electric mountain bikes. Down with that moving forward, cheers!

Jason_Schroeder Added a comment about feature $3,499 YT Tues Comp Review - Vital's Summer of Downhill
9/7/2021 9:40am
@taldfind summed it up nicely as the slacker head angle, longer travel fork and longer chain stay of a downhill bike create a longer wheelbase and thus a bigger overall bike to handle. Regardless of similar reach numbers. As an example, here is a comparison between by personal V1 Transition Sentinel, size large, and the Tues Comp, size XL - Sentinel Reach - 475mm Chainstay - 435mm Head angle - 64-degrees Wheelbase - 1247mm Tues Reach - 474mm Chainstay - 440mm Head angle - 63.5-degrees Wheelbase - 1278mm

The change in specs will definitely have a bigger impact than whta the article says. Especially the fork: RS has a very simple damper (self bleeding design with no compression shims) where the 40 has a not adjustable compression but is equipped with proper shim stack and offers definitely more support. The rear shock is again another story with X2 using a twin tube design offering more sensitive begginning stroke and less affected by heat build up.

It's a neutral gear to allow the suspension to work more freely of chain tension and provide less pedal kickback.And it's an awesomely ghetto way to accomplish that haha

Chatted with Dak Norton briefly after qualifying and he said avoiding flats is one of the biggest priorities this weekend. Lot of flat tire victims today

Jason_Schroeder Added a comment about product review Fugitive
9/1/2021 3:17pm
I unfortunately have not ridden the previous Fugitive LT to draw a comparison against. The main reason I found the Fugitive 138 lacked a snappy/playful demeanor on flow trails was mostly due to the length of the bike. The bigger size made it a big ship to steer (or jump) in many situations. I was still able to have fun flowing down bike park style trails, but found myself a little underwhelmed and required to pull up or yank harder for trail side features. The strength of the larger size definitely leant itself to stability on rough trails.

8/28/2021 2:03pm
Appreciate your thoughts on the USDH Unfiltered podcasts we've been doing. The goal thus far has been to keep a relaxed vibe with this sub-division of the Inside Line podcasts to counter the usual interviews detailing an individuals life/career. Which I've personally loved since they started, even prior to being with Vital. Four episodes in I know for a fact we have room to improve with additional structure a high priority to work on. We have been aiming to keep things natural and let topics flow as they pop up. We have a general outline and talking points for each...
