I don't think wearing a full face makes you any less of a man than the next. Getting stitches on your face from a low speed fall is not only annoying but is expensive. The same could be said for those who wear eye protection or not. It baffles me that so many people ride trails and road without wearing...

Super DH here. I like have the option to remove the chin bar for more mellow rides. I am a believer is MIPS as well; especially Spherical MIPS. That being said, I do think there is something to the dedicated full face enduro helmet. The new Leatt looks good, but sounds like it runs hotter than say, the Fox Proframe...

Ride or get a shuttle up to 401. I haven't rode Teocali, but have rode 401, 403 and a few others in town. Dr. Park is worth the drive, but it does take a bit to get over there from in town.

I watched part of it. The women really struggled with the logs, other than that it seemed fine. 1. It's new for them, can't blame them if they don't call it correctly. 2. I don't expect crossfit athletes to have exceptional skills on a bike. 3. Baby steps?
Since when is going for personal bests a bad thing? A lot of the time I'm riding solo, which makes it impossible to chill with my friends while riding. Personally I think it's a win win for both sides. It might get some CF people to try cycling more and vice versa.

I have a love/hate relationship with it. Most of the time I love it, but occasionally I miss riding with others. I'm usually the first one on the trail since I work the mid-shift. So by the time I go into work I've ridden more than most people will ride all day. It's especially nice in the summer, when it's...
