I don't buy the 'poor line choice' story - and even if it is, that's a weird excuse to use when trying to sell a system to average riders who are even more likely to make bad line choices. It looked like the place where Baz flatted is where you drop down onto a wooden bridge - it's completely flat...

You really think that Fox, Royal and Oneal would be happy with the designs above? The point of them being different is so it's easier to sell... The UCI probably loses out here more than anyone as they won't get the trade team fee. The jersey rule has been in place for years and it was only a matter of...

Don't forget that these are massive companies, of which Downhill is a tiny part of their marketing programme. 4-5 seasons ago both Specialized and Giant didn't even have a podium competing World Cup team, even if Specialised do lose one of their bigger two athletes, there will most definitely be a reason why.

Ya, you're right. Because Specialized are probably so strapped for cash due to the millions of bikes they are selling. Actually no, they probably have more cash than most of the other teams combined. I am pretty sure that cash isn't the main issue. Neither is shipping loads of spares, or even shipping the riders. Rockshox and Fox will be...

timlake Added a new video Tim Lake - 2010 Demo Reel

This is my 2010 showreel. I've had a great year, met a load of new people and come a long way. Tried to incorporate not only my better shots, but also my best memories of the year in this video. The song might not be a conventional MTB video song, but it's a great tune from 2010, which also has a lot of good memories. Enjoy!

bturman Liked a product review First Ride: Scott's 2013 Gambler - Superb in the Rough

11/28/2012 6:19pm
Ride report by Brandon Turman // Photos by Ian Hylands and Dave Trumpore In the Spring of 2012, the radically redesigned Scott Gambler was first leaked online. The bike was to be piloted by Brendan Fairclough and the Scott 11 Team, and it sported an interesting linkage system and an impressively slack 62-degree head angle. Over the course of the race season, the bike went through a few more revisions before being officially released in July 2012. During Whistler's Crankworx Festival, we had the opportunity to ride the beast for a day and a half of rock and berm bashing...

You kidding? CRC is a multi million dollar/pound company. They could definitely afford to pay Sam Hill if they wanted. Perhaps they are cutting their team and only having a few top riders!? Who knows! Madison Saracen are also a UK brand who are getting in a new rider. Rumour has it...
