From what I can gather, almost all D2C and online fulfillment will eventually be consolidated into that massive warehouse in SLC they picked up roughly a year or so ago. Along with many other things like all warranties, wheel/suspension services, and their internal schooling. As for all the well wishes…thank you.

Let's see, amateur DH gamer guy at keyboard says pro DH bicycle gal at Hardline is doing it wrong. While both are courageous, only one of them has relevant and meaningful content.

Okay, I've been thoroughly educated. I've seen Dan kick it with world cup riders on vlogs etc but I guess they have another gear when they're not filming content.

Hell yes Greg! Good to see him back on the box

I just buy Specialized BUTCHer's & black out the ER. They named it after me but are such tight wads, they found a way to cash in without paying me royalties, the cheap bastards.
