    Huge reality check.

    Healing vibes to all the downed riders (lots of posts in this thread aside from the initial one). Our sport is so fun, but carries consequences.

    Fox 40rc2 vs. Avalanche DHF-8

    C'mon now, go look at the light DH bike thread, I bet most Pro's bikes would not be very close to the weights of the really light one's in there. Gee's bike was over 42lbs last season, didn't seem to stop him..... I would take a pound on the front of a bike that is going to live to go...

    Gloves vs no gloves

    I always ride with gloves - albeit thin ones. I sweat like its my job, just can't stay attached to the bars when I don't have gloves. Also, picking gravel/stones out of your hands following a crash etc sucks! This is the other big reason I ride with gloves!

    Cullys and Flatboys

    QFT! My Flatboys are serious trooper pedals. I have wanted some nice shiny straitlines for a while now, but these things won't die and I can't bring myself to replace them until they actually do die!

    Woah

    Holy ****, healing vibes his way for sure! He didn't mention what was actually wrong in that article though, I wonder what could cause the need for such rapid surgery.

    P90X Program

    This sounds really assholeish, and I apologize in advance, but if you don't have the drive to research some excercise movements how motivated are you to make a change in yourself? I know that sounds harsh, and I'm sorry for that, but I pretty much got myself into crossfit - its not that much...

    2009 commencal supreme or specialized sx trail?

    I ride a mini-DH (what the supreme used to be called). You will not find much to fault on this frame. I got stuck out in the prairies this summer so I was able to truly test this bikes ability to pedal. It can, its not what anyone would call fun, but it can be done, I think the longest ride I...

    Quoted for the truth, those were some of the best/most entertaining MTB vids I have seen in some time.

    I'm thinking he means custom build kits custom geo and such are usually not for budget minded builds

    A DHer's trailbike journey, What do you run?

    They are super fun to ride, and I use mine as a trailbike, but only as I can't afford a separate bike for that. It is fun and for the travel it has pedals decently, but it iskinda heavy for trail use and is made for going down.

    YETI Video Vault: Schladming

    Nice stuff, I really like that they even have a free podcast for all the videos. I'm thinkin yeti is getting themselves in quite a good position with these videos and such. Great exposure, creates a good image of the riders/bikes and add to that they have a successful team! (I'm pretty sure...

    2009 Manitou Dorado

    In order to be worth anywhere near what these prices are it would have to be the most ridiculous fork every produced by man. Lighter stronger and smoother with the essentially perfect damping - and I don't think it is going to be necessarily any of these. sure its pretty and made from CF, but...
