i love you friggin nerds. all bikes are great somewhere. all bikes suck somewhere. get moar bikes. short chainstays are cool. long stays are pretty wild too. dorado FEELS way different to 40. Way. but thats the point right? I feel like santa cruz screwed up by not making bullit "MOST BIGGER" (battery/travel/geo) compared to VALA. but my ebike is...

Sorry Fox. But you’ll never do me like that again. I am happy for you and I really wish you the best. Seems like your new thing is working for you and that’s just great. But I have to take care of my family and my mental health, and ultimately, I just don’t think you were a good partner for me. It was a nice 3 fucking decades. But the way you bankrupted me with your broken shocks really didn’t feel good. It broke my heart really. Those are nice shims tho.

First things first, ICEMAN’s hair is looking gorgeous right now!! Just to add: I was under the impression that Virginia tech IS the 3rd party with the most comprehensive test group, being the 3rd party to & not the standard certs of : CPSC, CE, EN, AS & NZS….. maybe we need a 4th party. But I don’t really party anymore, not without my styrofoam hat.

maximumradness Added a reply to Enduro is Dead, how would you revive it?

12/31/2024 10:17am
(Top tier/World Cup level) Enduro racing just needs after race productions instead of live feeds. We can watch live timer feeds-day of- and gobble up vlogs (sometimes for days) after an ews. Then three weeks later redbull can drop a couple episodes about the “South American stretch” of races or Warner bros. Could film an entire season and put it...

I friggin love you guys (and gals) !! Isn’t vital just bomb? Kinda miss littermag, but I like it here. I like you. You’re cool. And smart. I think we got two things coming out of this: ESO/WB/UCI (or whomever ends up holding the stick shifter for World Cup enduro) should go back to what the EWS had : epic...

I have so many ideas and thoughts about this. But I believe enduro is a great format, just not for World Cup broadcasting: But isn’t that how moto enduro started too. Before they had redbull helicopters, these dudes were just out riding until their arms fell off. I like the format. It’s inclusive, it’s adaptable and it’s simply hard as...

We all knew this was about to happen- across the board globally I mean….. BUT! here is where the true believers get -go to- build and love- staff, all those national teams for various national race series. Or as WB thinks it will work, the “ feeder series” ….. If someone can put tougher a media package that’s rivals WB...

I dunno if wb is brilliant or stupid or brilliantly stupid but I’ll be here to watch the whole shithouse burn. In the meantime, an invitational Redbull series could be siphoning viewers. Seems like crankworx could simply add a really we’ll produced enduro series and boosh: wb lost money. Maybe that’s not how it goes, maybe there is some crazy...

11/27/2024 8:04am
I think it is really important to understand that it’s not people making mistakes. It’s the equipment. Has to be the old 3 wheelers argument. This injury data is a direct result of steeper headtube angles and fork offset, and it’s time we relinquish control of headtube angles that are essentially murdering the riders. Kill all bikes. Especially the ones...

The continental thing is a concept that should get more work. We want more races? =Feeder series! We have fast riders looking to come up into the “elite World Cup” circuit and no privateer access anymore ? =Feeder series! My homie/daughter/guy I know is fast af and wants to prove it? =feeder series! Kids need access to high level racing...
