A.P. Added a reply to Forum Hot Seat - Darren Murphy, Founder of PUSH Industries
1/23/2018 8:29am I have a 2013 34 Float (26") adjusted to 150mm travel. I purchased the top PUSH upgrade in 2014: the one where the CTD is replaced by LSC and HSC adjustment (sorry, I don't remember the name of this specific upgrade). I love the feeling of this fork and I'm staying on 26" wheels partly because my bike is still...

A.P. Added a reply to Is straighter and faster really that bad for a World Cup track?
1/19/2017 7:16am I was there at MSA in 2016 (I didn't miss many since ~1997 or so) and seeing the straight line we're talking about in person was a big highlight for me this year. Yes it was straight, but it was not groomed. Some weird (awesome) bike sounds could be heard. Every spectator present was buzzing from the insane speed these...

11/25/2016 9:24am I assume you are not trolling... My friend has a Specialized Turbo LEVO and I tried it a little bit. Not enough to say I am really comfortable on the machine and perform a detailed analysis, but enough to answer here. He is absolutely crazy about this bike. He is a very strong and fit rider, but doesn't like to...

10/28/2016 10:23am What I (think I) get out of it: The boat that went south and/or the rich mix departing must be ratboy retiring. 
Troy to Canyon; Ruaridh and Manon to Radon; Rude getting back to DH (with Yeti?) I love that!

10/18/2016 7:36pm What about Miranda Miller? Any news about her? With the results she got in 2016, she'll probably get a good spot and race all world cups. I certainly hope so! Having her on DGR would be nice!
A.P. Added a reply to looking for some upgrades for my Rockhopper
10/5/2016 8:23am Don't throw too much $$$ on this bike. Just enjoy it as much as possible. When you'll find the bike limits your progression and you have the money, upgrade the whole bike for a better one. For now: - New tires setup tubeless (at least new front tire...you can use your OEM tires as a rear tire and burn them...
A.P. Added a reply to How to be a better rider
9/16/2016 1:51pm I would add: Ride a BMX on a nice pump track. Steep HA, no suspension, 20" wheels, 80psi in the tires. Very difficult to master at first, but so fast once you get it. Guaranteed to improve your technique to properly ride berms and pump the terrain. At a point, it even changes your approach to line choices and you...
A.P. Added a reply to Build vs Buy?
9/12/2016 6:22am I believe it's always better to buy the best bike you can afford if you expect to keep it for a while. I bought a dentist-approved carbon wonderbike 4 years ago and I didn't change anything on it except replacing the worn/broken parts. On the other hand, I bought a middle-of-the-road race BMX for pumptrack duties a couple of years...
