    2012 East Coast Downhill schedule

    It's an endurance downhill event I'm told. Details are still being worked out on exactly what that entails though.

    2010 World Chamionships Mont Sainte-Anne - Live Thread

    I believe Fairclough is running Renthal's now, which makes sense given the whole Renthal being a british company and whatnot. Might Hill and Brosnan have made the switch from Funn?

    Avalanche AVA Shock program race tune DHX 3/4/5 and now ROCO's

    Schweeet....been waiting for someone to come out with some customized stuff for the Roco since Push stopped doing their thing on them. Looks like I have just found new/better way to get my Roco equip'ed dh bike through the rest of the year...and next if the budget doesn't allow for a new one...

    Marzocchi Roco WC service/tuning...who now???

    Since Push no longer does their magic work on Marzocchi products, who do you guys recommend now? Ideally I would just replace the Roco with an Elka, Double Barrel, or something comparable, but I don't want to invest more into my 4 year old dh rig and life is getting in the way of my dh...

    Only one Wisp race?

    Well, that's a little over the top and uncalled for don't you think?!?! It's hard to make a business case for a race to resort management when it's a money losing proposition. When USA Cycling fees, promoters profit and employee salaries are paid out it's a total bust for places like Wisp...and...

    Massanutten information

    Agreed on the sunburn! Seems like the only times it's rained has been the years that I have missed due to work travel. We'll see if it holds true this year.

    Palmer at Intense question..?

    Ha, every so often this jump resurfaces and the video pops up somewhere. If you stop it at 0:07 and look right behind the uphill edge of the ESPN and the blue sign (can't remember what it was)...well, that's me in the corner of the fence!

    New Mahindra Diesel Pickups!

    I'm not arguing with you on diesel issues at all. I work in the alt fuels industry, have done so for the last seven years, thus I am all to aware of the associated NOx, PM, CO, and HC issues. Clean diesel technology can, however, still go a long way...just because you no longer see the black...

    New Mahindra Diesel Pickups!

    What I am saying is that in the grand scheme of things, CARB is the ultimate hang-up in the system. Granted, EURO standards don't technically meet CARB certs, but CARB has issued Executive Orders in these types of situations before for a variety of other fuels. What I have experienced in my...

    New Mahindra Diesel Pickups!

    The problem isn't that EURO IV certification levels wouldn't meet CARB certification levels, rather, it's that CARB enjoys being the bully in these cases. CARB wants it their way and their way only, even if said product easily meets EPA and EURO IV standards. To bad 13 other states follow CARB's...

    2010 Gravity East tentative schedule just released

    Hmm, that's news to me and something I haven't heard in talking with both parties over the past two years. I was under the impression that Hartlove was more into BMX racing now-a-days, especially since his two kids and wife were into racing racing as a family.

    bark busters?

    A group of guys in the Mid-Atlantic tried to start a company called SystemDH years ago (late 90's/early 2000) by making mtb sized bark busters out of titanium rod and bar clamps. They were sported by non other than Jay Humphries as he made his return to dh racing after a few years of big...

    Truck

    with the step side bed?!?!? Saw a group of rednecks crusing around in that very same ranger (eggplant, SPLASH, step side) a few summers ago while taking a back road short cut to my parents house in West Virginia. Best part, and which didn't dawn on me until I saw the water splashing around...

    Truck

    I work in the alternative fueled vehicle industry and routinely have, at fingers end, a host of trucks from all the manufacturers to test, drive, de-engineer, promote, show, etc. Every individual is going to have their brand loyalty stamped on their chest and spout that brands virtues at every...

    Windham USA World Cup…..on or off?!

    Pittsburgh, Richmond, or Dulles (Washington, DC)....take your pick, none of them are exactly close at 3-4+ hour drive. That said, it doesn't seem to be the deal breaker for a world cup happening at some of the more remote Euro locations. I see the deal breaker being a purely financial...

    I love Oakley, but...

    It's no fake, Oakley actually CNC's (or whatever they call machining carbon) the carbon frame out of solid block of carbon.

    Bike vandalism legal advice

    Good luck to ya, but don't count on anything being done by the apartment complex or your girlfriends renters insurance. I've had several friends get various things vandalized in their metro-DC area apartment complex grounds (secured/garaged parking areas). Every single time the apartment has...

    I wonder if this guy is worried about his head angle.

    I was just in Asheville with the wife this past weekend and saw the bike in the back of a pickup truck sitting in a parking lot near the Orange Peel. I looked at my wife and she was puzzled at first, but to my surprise she asked if it happened to be the same bike I had shown her pics of from the...

    Snowshoe #3: Course?

    Yeah, I gave the summer wedding idea a bit of pushback, but we all know that ultimately the guy never wins those battles......ever!
