Im actually about 90 miles north of vegas already on most days, which might make mammoth the sweetest option. Ive been to lee canyon, not a ton of trails but its sure nice to get out of the heat and get some free vert in. Gonna be up there tomorrow actually. Ive explored kyle canyon a bit but havent been across the valley to bootleg. Looking at some stuff online in my little free time looks like ill have to check out bootleg at some point, seems like the gnarliest easy to find stuff thats still close enough for my...

I was curious how close all three of those bike parks were to Vegas, so I checked Google Maps and it says 3.5 hours to Snow Summit from Vegas, 5.5 hours to Mammoth, and 7.5 hours to Northstar. 213 miles, 312 miles, and 477 miles respectively. Although if you head NW, you could double up and Mammoth and Northstar, because Mammoth is more or less en route to Tahoe from Vegas, and that would be doable in a busy five day stretch. But they're not exactly close to Vegas.

8/22/2026 12:41pm There's Snow Summit. Probably better jump lines and possibly closer than Mammoth & Northstar, though driving on US395 is far more scenic and relaxing than sharing I-15 with road-raging drivers who blew their 401k at casinos. Since you got 5 days, you could possibly ride all 3. On Utah side, aside from everything mentioned thus far (really shame about Richfield)...

As this internet exchange shifted from kooks talking about being cool, into really fucking riders breaking down the differences between dropping trou to strap on knee pads vs. tearing their dance leotards ….. It got really core in here.

Wild throwback! I remember being so star struck that we were shuttling with Semenuk. He was as cool and mellow as imagined, and about twice as fast on a DH bike as expected. That day was definitely a core memory for me. I always wonder if Brandon even remembers spending a day riding some meh trails with a bunch of downhill groms that were riding way too hard to try and impress him lol

Believe it or not, the DHR2 has been the fastest rolling Maxxis DH tire for a long time, faster than the DHF, Assegai, HR2, HR3, Shorty, everything. That's why Greg ran DHR2's front and rear (2.3 EXO casing, I think?) on his World Champs bike in Pietermaritzburg in 2013. It was a gamble to run such thin tires on the DH track, and he famously hit a rock and got a leak on the rear tire in his race run, such that it was completely flat within a minute of crossing the finish line. That was 13 years ago, so...

Much different casings and a lot more going on with the new DH vs DD. The butyl insert in the new DH is waaaaaaaaaay stiffer than the old one or what’s found in the DD casing. It also has different geometry-thicker at the base near the bead and tapers as it goes up the sidewall. I believe it’s also taller than the insert in DD so it extends higher up the sidewall. And then the sidewalls are topped with a layer of EXO for additional cut protection. I’m no longer at Maxxis, but I was working on this launch up...

Assuming the pit-scavenged test pilot tires a couple of local bros have brought by the shop are at least very similar to the final “New DH” casing, that new high-hardness butyl insert is insanely stiff. It seems borderline impossible to puncture that sidewall, and the support must be significant. The rest of the tire didn’t feel too different from DH casings of the past. Interesting that Maxxis is pushing a new casing with which they encourage riders to drop pressure when other brands are pushing a more pliable radial casing and more psi.

Jason_Schroeder Liked a product review Maneuverability Before Stability | Cannondale Bad Habit Long-Ter
7/4/2026 9:55am
Cannondale’s Bad Habit is one of those bikes that sells the do-everything experience. It’s an enduro race bike. It’s an all-mountain adventure vessel. It's playful enough to rip a bike park. It’s ready to go for an all-day pedal. I generally appreciate bikes like this because if you can afford only one bike to serve most use cases, it’s often money well spent. However, striving to maximize versatility can lead to mediocrity. That’s the line bikes like the Bad Habit walk. When the bike launched , it caught my attention because it was spec'd like an enduro bike (minus...

Conventional wisdom up until a week ago would have said this setup is unrideable and has no place at a World Cup. The fact that they were even in touch with these bikes demonstrates that there are still lots of places to go and things to explore re: bike geometry/fit

So when the braking bumps spread out for 32" do they become moto whoops for smaller wheeled bikes?
