I don’t think people fully realize how deep we are into a new era of downhill racing. Today’s top athletes are growing up on DH bikes in bike parks (Jackson), just like elite moto kids grow up on 50s at tracks. The idea of crossing over from one sport to another is way more far-fetched now than it was in the Palmer era and that’s saying something. Not saying it’s impossible, but the stories about easy crossover don’t really hold up anymore. The bar is higher, specialization is intense, and the depth of talent is way deeper. If Palmer could...

This is no longer the case (at least with the Intend and PUSH forks), with the amount of flex being beneficial. Similar to what Reece is talking about in regards to the Dorado here: It...

I just want to say, I have never been able "whip around" my bike better than when I put on the longer 460 chainstays. Turns out, when you increase front end grip, you can then drift the rear end in an extremely controlled fashion. My bike turns tighter than it did before, and I think it all has to do with front end confidence. I know I can turn a tighter radius because the front end is not going to wash. I often feel like the people who cannot fathom riding longer chainstays are the same ones who bemoaned the...
