ride Added a reply to Tweener: make a small bike big, or a big bike small
2/18/2026 8:20am This is an awesome topic! Approaching this from a generalized perspective, things to consider are where you live, style of trails you ride mostly, and what travel category bike you're referring to. I think on one hand longer travel bikes are easier to make a larger size feel smaller in the cockpit/rider area due to more sag and travel. But...

This was a great listen, as always. Thanks for the shoutout. And my suspension feels great to me, I don't care what you think, you big dumb dummy.

B eing from the Northwest part of the U.S., it gets cold here, and that's typically paired with precipitation. Lots of it. For better or worse, Northwesterners like to consider themselves hearty...

12/5/2025 10:45am My wife and I are big fans of the newish Netflix show "Dinner Time Live' with David Chang. Most of the episodes 'hit' (for us at least), and the ones that don't are mostly due to how wah wahhh the guests are. We don't watch it live, and tend to catch them at our convenience which is nice. If they're...

Agreed Hogfly. I have been fortunate enough to have worked directly with Jaxson for many years. Before, during, and after his fathers passing. I saw first hand the pain and loss he was going through, and had many conversations with him about it. I am incredibly proud of him for working through it in the way he needed to. I was really hoping the end result of this project would project his journey and spirit in the way he intended. Thank you for being you Jaxson.

ride Added a reply to Damper products that aren’t suspension
1/30/2025 9:33am Funny story about these. In 2003 I got hired to work at Softride here in Bellingham by my good friend Adam. I was chasing a career as a pro mountain biker at that time. As a prank, he ran a print ad for the suspension stem, with a fabricated quote from me endorsing the stem as a 'game changer' for...
ride Added a reply to MTB Compliance Analysis: Danny Hart's Modified GT Fury Frame
1/6/2025 6:11pm This is a rad article, and a really interesting discussion. Back in 2018/2019, I cut the seatstay bridge out of my Alloy Sentinel (This was the first article sample I had been riding for 1.5 years at this point). I initially did this to be able to accommodate using a 65mm stroke shock to get 160mm rear travel to experiment...

8/19/2024 7:00pm A little birdie (Someone who is a part of the WB/Dis broadcast) disclosed this to me this winter: WB/Dis is all-in on sports moving forward. Their understanding is it won't be too long before AI is driving all cinema, from screenwriting, to the visuals, as we know it. In the coming years sports is going to be the only 'real'...

5/24/2024 2:30pm Charlie ftw! I signed Gee, but also am riding 4 weeks after a broken wrist, have more hardware in my body than I can count, and, can also relate to your perseverance. So, yeah... Keep it together!

I can't get over how quickly it went from everyone trying to figure out each feature and the track appearing as this crazy, nearly unrideable thing to everyone just figuring it out and doing full runs. You can literally see the bar get raised in just a few days. Highlight for sure has been all the women ticking off features. This will stand as a massive leap forward for the women's freeride scene and goes to show the level that their riding is at; they just need the chance to get their foot in the door.

ride Added a reply to Do pros remove their hardware post surgery? (Also, did you?)
2/2/2024 10:05am I've ridden and raced bikes pretty much my whole life. I retired as a bmx professional in 1997, and got my semi pro and pro USAC licenses in 2003/2004. I've had so many surgeries I've lost track. I have a plate on my left fibula from the US Open in 2011, right hand 3rd metacarpal JRA in 2010, and two...

11/16/2023 11:29am I'll say this as I spoke to him myself in Andorra this year, and the badge and shirt he was wearing reflected what he told me. Chris ball is no longer affiliated with ESO, he's sold it. He is now the VP of Mountain Bike for WB/Disney. I keep reading people referring to ESO as Chris Ball or vice versa...

10/5/2023 9:28am Our team rider Taylor Ostgaard went down on the last stepdown yesterday in practice as well. She dislocated her hip, and it was out of place for 3.5 hours. SUPER bummed for her coming off a 2nd at Snowshoe she was looking really strong coming into this weekend.
