To be fair it wasn't really Times crossword level cryptic, but it was the best I could do. My mate had a quick chat and he seems to be a happy lad.

Hello all I've been on Vital for years, but never on these pages. I'm an old dude who started riding in the eighties. I love this sport with a passion. I'm English, but live in South Wales and I enjoy scaring myself regularly on the trails here. I mainly ride steep tech, but sometimes get airborne, just not too high...

Perhaps they enjoy working on their bike so much that they designed thru headset routing to provide themselves with hours of enjoyment to perform a task that'd usually take a few minutes. Or maybe they're just sadists?

Sometimes I wonder of the people designing bikes out there have ever wrenched on a bike. Then I sometimes wonder if they even rode a mountain bike seriously...

It´s for low speeds and not for real mountainbiking. Weird that they put it on the Spectral which is a bike you have to pedal yourself. This will end up on E-bikes SUVs which are delivered with Fox 36 or 38, Magic Mary 2.6, 160mm of travel but are solely used for commuting or to go to the beergarden on sunday. Fits in nicely with the dropper post which is soooo helpful at red traffic lights and with the new ABS braking helpers. KIS allows you to text on your phone without problems. Or as someone else put it on...

*Twitches violently at the thought of digging one of these out after one of the springs unseats during a crash creates forces that a designer didn't think of At least they might not be able to do headset routing with this design....

Great comments from TMac. I'd be livid. You have to put the riders first when you are dealing with mother nature and the consequences are this high. You have to have an agile enough production to go "we were going to do ____ but now we are going to do ____" I know this is an unpopular opinion, but Rampage to me (a freeride "outsider") feels pretty indistinguishable from the year(s) prior. Its all so unrelatable to me, and the judging seems so...weird. I struggle to get into it the way I can get into a WC race (or season)...

More than merely "one of the two owners" (although there is a third owner; the son of the other founder and inventor of the drink owns a tiny percentage such that neither of the two founders owns a controlling stake), Dietrich Mateschitz was the impetus behind taking the drink to the west and turning it into the advertising and sponsorship company it is today. Everything you see associated with Red Bull is essentially down to him – the inventor being a silent partner. So thanks Dietrich for supporting many of the sports I enjoy watching, even if your drink is...

I’ll pass on Rampage…it’s almost as bad as slopestyle events.

It was free to view here in the UK, but I stopped watching after a few runs as I just can't get excited about it in the way I used to. I don't know if it's because it's become SS on steroids, or if the riders have gotten so good that they make terrifying terrain look easy, whatever it is...

UCI: Hey Red bull, we're going to give the contract to WB/discovery and they're going to do it for a year, realize there's no payoff and cut our contract for half of the amount owed for ten years and you can have it back the years after for the regular amount.. "
