Unpopular opinion but transmission is a clear/undeniable benefit over any existing cable stuff

RIP Colorado Freeride Festival. You were too good for this world.

Trickstuff brakes are simply the best brakes you can buy. I own both the Direttissima's and Maxima models, and both are incredible. The Maxima's feature a slightly longer lever blade, a larger caliper body, and have a larger brake pad surface area, resulting in a significant more power between the two models. The Maxima's require such little lever force that they effectively eliminate any arm pump providing you with endless laps in the bike park. If you have the means... purchase a set!

Old silver? EX1750s were white!

Because Specialized handle it so well. Whereas a lot of other brands begrudge warranty and make any claims an absolute ballache. The amount of failures is also directly related for the amount they sell too. Proportionally it’s probably very similar to everyone else.

In the world of costly bike parts, Trickstuff has always had a special aura around it. Unapologetically dedicated to building the finest brakes money can buy, this German company makes a premium product and charges a pretty penny for it. We wanted to look past the sticker shock to find out if they also deliver value for money – keep reading to find out how we’ve been getting along with the Direttissima.

So...this is more general than Les Gets, but anyone ever try the Risk Racing remote control Roll Offs. In moto, you can pull a tear off or tug a roll off over jumps & on straightaways. But in DH, you're never in the air that long. Would be far better for a DH racer to push a button than risk a hand off. https://riskracing.com/products/the-ripper-motocross-goggle-roll-off-sy…

OK. Well, I guess I better update my licenses. Please don't let me hurt myself.

On site facilities like bathrooms, water etc are all issues. Shuttles and parking would also be issue with spectators and large field of riders.

They redesigned their M10 this year so maybe just rather have the guys in the latest and greatest. Their DH Missle helmet hasn't changed in years, for a while it wasn't even for sale but looks like they have some new colors and such now. Ive held and worn almost all the DH helmets and the FOX RPC blows them all away with fit and how strong and stiff it is. I took a huge hit in my last one and no concussion and it only cracked in one about dime sized area. The RPC feels like a slightly smaller...
