    arm-pump victims: some sweet tips

    Yea, totally. So much truth to that. I haven't had arm pump on an MTB in probably 10 years. But it's an every ride occurrence on the dirt bike.

    DH Fork Suspension Data

    Yea, they all want something for nothing. You should see what big time bike manufacturers pay engineers. It's no wonder they mostly hire mostly artists. True story...a big brand manufacturer in the santa cruz area passed up on hiring a supremely qualified mechanical engineer for a high up...

    DVO Suspension - potential new player?

    I see it all the time...but you can't just use regular honeycomb sheets. The cell shape is not hexagonal.

    DVO Suspension - potential new player?

    Most likely aluminum honeycomb core with the facesheets bonded to it. This allows for a greater area moment of inertia (think I-beam) without adding a bunch of weight and cost like extra plies would.

    China Peak outside Fresno, CA

    They are just starting out this year. Evan Turpen, norcal shredder and all around rad dude, is in charge of the bike park. I'm sure he's just getting their feet wet over there as far as supporting bikes in the summer so expect to see it get better and better every year if he's involved.

    Sounds about right for a bike company run by artists.

    More like a lousy turnbar.

    They at least KNOW how to spell.

    Evil Undead

    This whole debacle is laughable, but this put me in stitches. This is what happens when you have artists running bike companies. The bike industry needs more companies lead by engineers and smart businessmen rather than artists and bikeshop burnouts.

    2012 Ashland Mountain Challenge

    Soooooooooooo awesome, Bill. I can't wait. The whole southbay crew will be there in full force. This is going to be boatloads more fun than just the Super D.

    Kirkwood 6 hour Super D

    Tons of climbing and pedaling at high altitude, but still fun. I kinda liked the flat corners because it slowed down all the xc dudes and the bikepark berm riding goons.

    Shoulder braces following dislocation

    That's not quite true. A good doc can tell based on your symptoms and just feeling your shoulder through it's ROM to determine what kind of surgery is going to be needed. MRI's for shoulders could be a waste of money if you already are repeatedly dislocating it. Save your pennies and get it...

    Shoulder braces following dislocation

    The braces definitely help if you're just trying to get by until it's a good time to have surgery. Just keep them tight and baby your shoulder until you can get cut open and get that thing dialed in. If you're dislocating your shoulder while you're sleeping, try sleeping with your hand in your...

    End of my Pro GRT campaign... but there's more...

    Sweet dude. I'm there for sure if you get Mammoth on the calendar. I'll have to trade my moto to someone for the weekend and borrow a DH bike. One thing I'd like to see more of, especially in California, is 6-12 hour DH races. It's hard for guys like me to justify the costs of a whole weekend...

    Any dislocated shoulders?

    Yea man, it was roached. The last straw was when I dislocated it twice in the middle of a 100 mile moto race at Stonyford. I finished the race, but couldn't even load any of my gear or bike. All the other times I popped it out I was good to go after getting it back in since all the crap was...
