Reading this while taking a shit after a LONG day building pumptracks in florida. Why was it so long? Millennial anti-intellectual un vaccinated pseudo libertarian co-workers are all fuvking useless with Sars Cov19, all the un-boosted members of our team are all down for the count right now. As a former mid-20’s libertarian douche i am sympathetic, but BROSEPHS: science is real. Yes “big pharma” is stacking benjamins, but science is reall! As is my fatigue for taking up the slack for people who are science-skeptical.

This reminded me of something: In 2004 we were with our National Team at the Worlds in Les Gets and the last World Cup round in Livigno. Vanessa Quin won the Worlds that year on a baby blue Intense M3 with Dorados, that was still to be released. She was riding on the Dirt/Intense team, with Shimano, Manitou and Troy Lee as co-sponsors. I was watching the men's finals and slowly descending the course, when I met Mike Rose, who was talking to somebody, most likely Sabrina Jonnier.

Can't justify a DH bike anymore, but those 2-3 times a year I do go to the lift accessed parks I sure do miss them. The geo's are no longer worlds apart, only the travel number.

Nope. There are still batteries. I have a Shockwiz, bought it, put it on the bike, set the clickers (I have an RC2 Lyrik and a Super Deluxe Ultimate) and that was it. I do not change anything. I do not lock my rear shock. I just ride. For someone knowing exactly what and how all the clickers do, for someone so vocal about tech stuff on the forum, for someone thinking it would be cool to have a power meter, to have more advanced suspension analysis gear and someone thinking how to put strain gauges onto the frame to...

You have to offset the banned substances in the nutritional supplements with that good, highly dliuted stuff of homeopathic medicine.
