Ehh, Cam/Strait and I are all the same age ('86/'87) so not sure I buy that angle. Regardless, the 1st Amendment protects your right to say whatever the hell you want on the Internet so it is what it is. But you/I/everyone-who-read-it know there was some pretty distasteful shit on that blog (and...
It's long been taken down (probably because it was fucking shameful), but the old 2Six Stallions blog (hosted on Blogspot IIRC) that the Zink Bros (along with Strait & Taylor Sage?) contributed to was filled with racist shit.
Y'all can talk all the shit you want on 29derps (or is the the "typical" 29derp rider that you're really talking shit on?), but this bike looks fucking dope and I would absolutely shred the shit out've it -- just like my current 29derp.
Unsure how I feel about giving the racist-ass Zink bros...

I have heard of a few durability issues with that particular frame, but if it comes from Commencal new-old-stock with a warranty and you're still down with 26" wheels, I say fuck it and go for it. Absolute worst-case scenario, you break it and you get upgraded into a new Meta V4.
Otherwise...
Been super busy with work lately, but snuck out for a night ride earlier:
If you think that looks like shit, here's the full trail when it's light out:
Washington is fucking dope.
Naw, I agree with this. A lot of people do, and the judges seem to as well.
I don't think anybody can dispute that Rogatkin is on another level when it comes to some of the insane tricks he's got in his bag, but Semenuk is rightfully being awarded top spot because nobody else can spin, barspin...
There's basically no incentive, financial or otherwise, for Whistler to host a UCI-sanctioned World Cup DH event.
Interestingly enough, the prize purse for Crankworx events are getting pretty sizeable (especially if you factor in the "King of Crankworx" title as well) that I could see more...
