    LIVE THREAD: Sea Otter Classic 2010!

    Except for the smooth, big berms, a suspension bike would do better on the corners. Also, the course was not smooth. Keeping your rear wheel stuck to the ground is a big advantage on the last straightaway.

    UCSC shut down

    Rangers have had periodic crackdowns on UCSC every year. They even had a mailboxes crackdown a few years ago. The trails will be there.

    hipster gaza strip scarves

    Um... if the style actually came from terrorists. Students outside of the middle east started wearing them to show support for Palistinians, it has nothing to do with terrorists, supporting terrorism, or criminal acts. Terrorists wear them because they're from the middle east and people there...

    Perfect Day to ride dirt in the Santa Cruz Mts

    Awesome. I had a few hours before class a few weeks ago so I rode from downtown up 1, then up Back Ranch Road, Smith, and back down to Empire. It's nice to live here.

    Tattoo - Just thought I would share...

    I think it looks great. For my first tattoo I went with something a little less ballsy, a bike on my collarbone. Just like you wanted a "DH bike" and not anything specific, I just drew a bike (SS with drop bars, a design that will never change if it hasn't in 100 years). That's going to be sick...

    The MBA Prop 8 Debacle

    :stupid: The argument from tradition is veiled bigotry too. And DirtyMike, I strongly believe kids should know that gay people exist. Not letting that be taught in schools is essentially suppressing the idea that there are gay people in the world and that those people are normal and accepted...

    Deal Alert: Lucky Brand Jeans Friends & Family - 40% off - 12/7 to 12/14 - On-line &

    The silliness of paying that much for jeans (I have Lucky's too, I got them for $40 at the Rack, and they're not as good over time as my Levi's imo) is only topped by the borderline homophobia and visceral reaction of people who don't understand why you would do that. Some people like to buy...

    Preview of Obama's Inauguration Speech.

    Yeah, foreign aid is the problem! Not our bloated military budget or anything. Fvck Bangladesh for not fighting a stupid war with us! They can drown next monsoon season, but they better not stop sewing my shirts! edit: dumbass warmonger.

    Somalia, Libertarian Utopia

    No no no, it's our duty to lift those people to greatness.

    Somalia, Libertarian Utopia

    I think Norway is an exception to the rule. Every other European government has had its share of imperialism and abuse of power, be it as part of the axis, Soviet Russia, or just plain tyrannical. And I think the point of the casualty count was that lack of government is not usually the...

    Drug Czar denies ~ 800,000 are arrested anually for pot, 872,721 arrested in 2007.

    They were the first state to criminalize marijuana and pushed hard for its prohibition in the 30's. Apparently too many Mormons were exploiting a loophole in the scripture (alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine are no good, but nothing about weed) and coming back from Mexican Mormon villages with a new...

    'Rednecks for Obama' want to bridge yawning culture gap

    Of course, because the parties of 1870 to 1910 were basically the same as the Democrats and Republicans now.

    Keating Five: McCain's Corruption

    Except Obama was given that name (a very common one in Muslim countries like Kenya) which unfortunately is the same name as a dictator the Bush admin. tied to Al Qaeda. McCain made a conscious decision to be bribed. Yes, he apologized. This is completely fair game given that Palin has brought...

    freightGOD's insult counter

    You sure as hell don't. Remove "sheep," "libertard," and "NObama," from your posts and there's nothing there. These forums are very liberal but we don't reject discussion with conservatives, it just so happens the majority of the ones posting here are complete douchebags. You fall into the...

    Why Socialism Failed ( and always will )

    Maybe because it's pretty easy, and always has been, to come to America and get citizenship. Do you think Iceland or any other Scandinavian country, with their reputation and small territories, would let anyone in? They're notorious for being basically impossible to immigrate to. And you're...

    UCI bans skinsuits?

    That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If you spend $7500 on a DH bike, that's an advantage over a $1500 DH bike. A XTR drivetrain will outperform Alivio for a few hundred $$ more. If you race road or XC, spending $200 on good clipless pedals will make you faster than if you get $20 toe...

    UCI bans skinsuits?

    What defines a skinsuit though? Are UCI officials going to be pinching every athlete's jersey and shorts (which have been tailored to be extra tight anyway)? What a stupid movement this is. Every other sport involving racing the clock is done with skin-tight clothing, it's not gay, and if...

    Can you say Des·per·a·tion?

    I hope you're joking... I know why it's a big deal to some tools who choose to believe it, but it really shouldn't be an issue whatsoever. I'd be more afraid of Palin calling our invasion of Iraq a task from God; she's sounding a lot like Muslim terrorists.

    Can you say Des·per·a·tion?

    Desperation like spreading rumors about Obama being a secret muslim communicating with terrorists via fist jabs? Or like suggesting McCain has fathered a black baby out of wedlock?
