Guys - it's pretty simple: 1) Times change and people grow. 10 years ago you had more free time to post here - now you've got kids/mortgage payments/chemtrails. 2) -Understand this is from my perspective, the guy who started the "Sunday Thread"- If you check out most manufacturer's websites these days, they figured out how to effectively organize some kind of Tech library and/or FAQ that actually serves the customer. Did that start with threads like the "Sunday Thread"... I'd like to think so. =) 3) Pinkbike FINALLY sort of, kind of, go their shit together... and as much as some may not want to admit it - so did EmptyBeer in certain instances. So a lot of other info sources have risen to (our) level. With regard to PB: It's a lot easier for a n00b to click through the main page than wade though the millions of replies to thousands of forum posts.

Does RM need another intellectual infusion of users like Acadian and Sandwich/The Flyin' Fat Man? Sure. It's coming. So long as we, the keepers of the flame, the knowledge base that is our shared experience, continue to show the curious - the n00bs who are thinking about trying the sport we love, by posting here at RM - it's all good. Udi leads the charge in this capacity.

RM will always be the intellectual repository for all things MTB and DH. Show the new guys/gals the way, educate them, and be patient with them and RM will evolve and live on. =)

Hahaha - NO we're not... and Rectal SARS has nothing to do with it. That's just something that only effects people who haven't been vaccinated against The Kardashians.

Front Range, dude...
Hey what ever happened to that train wreck of a couple that rode Whistler all the time? The girl was some crazy, stripper, stoner with mad handling skills. You posted something from a North Shore forum a couple years ago. The word Sludge-pot comes to mind.
The chick who rode in the gogo boots and stripper skirt?

We need Bitingback to come back for giggles...send one of the single guys to meet here. PSP perhaps...I would put in for gas...

God damn those two were a train wreck. Wasn't there a baby involved as well? I also seem to recall there being a pretty big age difference between the two of them. Like Chris Hansen why don't you have a seat over there age difference.

It must have gone downhill. Obviously didn't go enduro or it would be more popular.

I can't express how much better teh RM is than mtbr or PB :(

No, you might be thinking of Megan Black (?). There's a pic floating around here of a chick hitting the big drop at the bottom of Whistler in a skirt and fuck-me-boots. The one I'm talking about was the GF in a famliy that could make for an entire season of Jerry Springer.

She was only here to harass Stinkyboy and split when he got banned. I still think those two need to hook up.

Not 100% sure, but think it might be A2A on PB. Their site search sucks.
