saskskier Added a reply to How do you feel about the 'direction' of stock builds?
10/17/2025 7:42am Pretty much regardless of model and trim, if you're buying a car, you can choose interior and exterior colours and trim, wheels, engine, and extras. Why don't more bike companies do that (especially the big ones), or is it just a scale thing? Or "that sounds hard and we don't want to because we're greedy bastards" thing (especially the big...

10/17/2025 7:18am I mean, I don't think any of the women are doing tailwhips or barspins at Rampage. Not a knock against them, but I'm not sure I'd be running a single crown if I wasn't throwing those tricks.

Loic has made some posts on socials. Short version was that he was in the medic tent for the podium, straight to the hospital and stayed the night. Caught the first flight he could back home and made it in time for the birth of his son. Congrats papa.

10/9/2025 8:01am There is a new, lift accessed bike park that's going to be opening in Alberta in the next couple of years. I'm pretty sure their entire trail system is going to be starting from scratch, just because there isn't really a trail network in the area. This is contrast to somewhere like Revelstoke, where there were already a bunch of...

10/9/2025 7:22am I was in Morzine/area for two weeks this summer and the number of non-riders who were still all over the mountain was quite striking vs in Canada. I'm sure part of that is population density, but I also think the way the lifts and towns and restaurants, etc are laid out make a big difference. While some ski resorts/bike parks...

Straight lines are nice, but you can't kink shame them.

10/6/2025 2:26pm Lou tried pretty hard to get Wyn to admit he's UCI Gary, but he's insisting it's not. Either way, hilarious stuff.

10/6/2025 11:13am Jackson (and a bunch of other riders) have been using them for a while now.

10/2/2025 12:58pm Based on dual crown compatible, Fest series, park lap, Rampage, freeride kinda riding from Nico Vink, Hannah B, Talus, and Jaxson, I have a hard time believing it's still a 150mm trail bike...

10/2/2025 8:46am Pretty sure it's dual 27.5? At least that's what I've heard. Definitely more freeride oriented than trail/enduro/race oriented.

9/29/2025 10:35am Ugh... I may or may not have just dm'd my LBS to start inquiring about an off-season upgrade. lol

9/29/2025 8:55am Wouldn't withholding pay, travel expenses, support, etc. be breach of contract from YT and an easy out for riders to find something new without having to be "released"? (I get we don't have the details of the contract, however it seems like all of those things would be a given in return for a rider representing you)

9/29/2025 6:39am Speaking of Brage... how has no one else signed him yet? He's the pinnacle of freeride mtb in the same way Loic or Jackson are the pinnacle of dh racing.

I meant more along the lines of you feel every seam of tarmac compared to a full suss MTB. Wasn't talking about singletracks, far from it.

9/26/2025 10:50am I don't disagree, however have found that if I want to be comfortable on my HT, I need to be much more active on the bike (more intentional with line choice, unweighting/raising the front/rear wheels over stuff, etc). "Plowing" either downhill or up is not a great time. Turns out I can't ride my 130mm, SS steel hardtail in the...

9/24/2025 12:32pm According to their IG, Transition is announcing something tomorrow. Video clip is from the Kamloops Bike Ranch and looks like it could be dj-related. Or maybe finally the official release of the new Bottle Rocket? (but probably not. The clip doesn't seem to match a BR release)

9/23/2025 1:39pm Richie placed 4th at the first WC stop in Szczyrk and he's consistently top 10 in Crankworx dh races and other DH races (Tennesse National, Monster Pro DH, NZ National champs, CDN Open, etc). Not sure what the point system is for those races, though.
