2/8/2020 1:01am This was fairly entertaining. MTB Bikes are RAD. I want to get shreddy, I like to get shreddy, I need to get shreddy. I’m gonna get shreddy on my anolog bike as I have been for 20+ years and now I’m gonna also get extra shreddy on eBikes because they are super duper rad. I’m gonna not be a dick to other trail users even though they are often entitled dicks themselves and deserve a good kick in the nutz - of course I won’t. I’m gonna ride legal trails and I’m also gonna poach trails (where I live it’s...

2/7/2020 6:11pm Watch this video interview with Dave Turner and tell me there's a dividing line between ebikes and motor bikes: https://youtu.be/RuZuUn5Ci2k TL/DW: unless you're Nino you can't match the output of an electric motor. You'll put about 40W at the top of your lungs, while the lousiest electric assist motor gives you 250W on tap, and you can't tell me that ain't cheating. Wanna share the trails with me? OK, take off the battery and pedal like everyone else. On top of that, every single sale of an expensive mountain bike subsidizes the prices of the ebikes, bringing them down, up...

2/7/2020 6:03pm From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A moped (/ˈmoʊpɛd/ MOH-ped) is a type of small motorcycle with bicycle pedals, generally having a less stringent licensing requirement than full motorcycles or automobiles. Mopeds typically travel only a bit faster than bicycles on public roads, and possess both a motorcycle engine and pedals for propulsion.

2/7/2020 5:59pm An eMTB may not do as much damage per compared mile, but more per compared time. Say you have a 1hr long lunch to go for a ride. On your normal ride on a normal bike, you’d do one loop. Now on the eMTB would you be able to fit two laps in during that time? Are people going to ride based off of distance or off of how long they feel like being out regardless of the bike they are on? I’m personally for eMTB use on any motorized trail, and any non motorized trail that the local riding...

2/7/2020 1:58am This. I love racing and I'll get wrapped up in the drama in the moment, but my DH racing days have been over for a while. Guys like Matt and what they're doing are what I strive for now. I'll watch every video he puts out before I worry myself about team recap vids. Except WynTV. Give me that all day.

2/6/2020 9:18pm Yes they are good value (don't read as "cheap) but there must be a reason a good amount of WC Privateers are using them, They would be using the bike they believe would provide them with the best result, price not been a factor.

2/6/2020 11:36am Since the inception of the EWS, there's been only 15 male winners. 6 of those have only won a single race. 6 of the 15 are retired (or at least not racing most of the calendar). So you only have 9 active winners, 6 active repeat winners. To suggest that these are the only riders people have heard of is ridiculous. Furthermore, in terms of reach, one of those active, repeat winners has less than 10k IG followers. Another has just 21k. Cody Kelley has 2.5x more IG followers than these two COMBINED. And in terms of actually selling bikes...

2/6/2020 4:46am There is Jack's interview on The Other Site that keeps cranking ”articles” out of this thread. My take between the lines: - Gwin can screw a team's vibe up pretty bad 🤢 - Intense had the most fun team out there and they decided to kill it because of above primadonna; oh, and money 💩 - Cannondale's cock is much smaller than it used to be 🤫 - Jack is REALLY diplomatic about his ”choice” 🥺 - when you don't have much to choose from, you accept a change of discipline too 😔 - enduro is actually killing top-level downhill...

1/30/2020 3:14pm Such a bummer, I got my start working there as an intern in the early 90's. It was l more of a 'zine' then, we still pasted the thing together with wax. So many fun memories, but print publishing is an incredibly rough business these days. Thank you to the original crew of Maurice, Elaine, Mark, and Karl. I hope you're all doing well and good luck in your future endeavours.
