Thats cool stuff. Man, I hate that they had to go. This is just more evidence of what cool guys/gals ran that place. Their modular frame design wasn't perfect, but man for a first gen product their bikes rode really well.

The thing is you're not making it fun. As mentioned above....in the past reamtumors and this thread had drawings, cliffhangers, jokes, puzzles and falsehoods. You're in fact adding nothing intellectual, insightful or entertaining. Child's play. But again, you know and we don't. You must sleep so good at night.

you don‘t seem to get it! it‘s not that no one is giving solid info, would love to have puzzles to figure out like the years prior. it‘s the repeating „i know more than you but not gonna tell, lalala…“ from ghost that‘s annoying a lot of people in here. if you scroll back at least a couple pages you‘ll see that people are still speculating and no one‘s crying that he want‘s it all now! but hey, some people these days can‘t even read a couple of pages now back to rumors/speculation ✌️

Thanks for reminding me... On our Adidas Eyeware road trip to Canada we were being guided on the North Shore by Peter Stay Smith of Norco and Jay Hoots and met a fourteen year old Geoff Gulevich riding an Ellsworth Joker with the most clapped out Boxers that I've ever seen. I'm surprised that he had any front brakes with the amount of oil spewing out the seals.

It seems to me that there's a lack of proper journalism in mountain biking i.e. who's asking ESO, Discovery etc the difficult questions given what Discovery's investment was supposed to bring to EWS.

I had a pic of me in MBUK 20+ years ago. They got my name wrong. And called me the "tubby kid on the Turner"

Troy from west MI. Just getting into the sport. Planning to replace running with mountain biking. Just got an upgraded mid 90’s (I think) GT All Terra Tempest with RockShox fork. Any info on those is appreciated. Thanks!

in our transmission review i shift both old axs and transmission derailleurs off the bike. transmission is timed electronically (not saying it's "smart", just has a slower timing...i hit the shift button quickly but the transmission derailleur takes its time). "old" axs goes as fast as you can hit the button basically. watch it here - https://youtu.be/ooilfJ2SEiQ?si=e7_AJHjletQQbkzn&t=691

I just wanna ride like Sam Hill in Earthed

I would totally do that.

Met Robin Williams in my local bike shop while building up my first official DH bike, a yellow/red Intense Uzzi DH. He was wowed & asked about it. Everyone else was in awe of him but I'm off in the head too & we hit it off & just babbled. He told me the rumours were true that he was really into bikes, that he'd been in disguise in the back of the USPS chase car feeding Lance & crew in feed zones. Hadn't missed a TdF in over 10+ years & was there to pick up a road bike...

You guys are going to think I'm full of shit, but these are completely true: -I used to work at Suzuki headquarters. Ricky Carmichael gave me the " 'sup" head nod when he came to visit once, because he recognized me from a previous media event. -The drummer for No Doubt is my cousin. He introduced me to Gwen Stefani backstage once, right before they got real famous, and for a little while, I felt like I had a chance with her. -I partied with Ron Lechien about a dozen years ago at a convention. Yes, that Ron Lechien. Yes...

I got to work in the industry with a guy who did a backflip at Rampage.... I also got looks of disapproval from @TEAMROBOT once at Sol Vista. The fact that my life was spared from robot annihilation was a solid positive.

Growing up in Utah I ran into BMX pros Mike Aitken and Tim "Fuzz" Hall at the proving grounds indoor skatepark in Pleasant Grove quite often. Both of them super nice and down to earth, always had time to talk to us kids at the skatepark. Now live in NC. Shot the shit with Max Beaupre at sugar mountain for a while waiting for the lift to open. Super funny kid and hope he succeeds racing enduro on the world stage.
