Yeah I hear ya on that. But it's like RC knows we're junkies and he's pushing tainted crack. 
LOL, I wasn't talking about ass-crack.... 
I've made it a point to intentionally avoid that magazine. I don't want to reward arrogant self righteous, poorly researched garbage by paying these people's mortgages. I think thier failure would be beneficial. Not running voo doo or evil ads because of family values is deplorable.
I'm pretty sure RC said you should only ride DH bikes on dh courses because otherwise you're hurting trail access? The magazine sorta goes along with the mtbr forum....
And also anyone that calls any type of riding Black Diamond riding deserves to be shot on sight for gayness.

Hey what's wrong with black diamond? I was BD jibbing all over the damn place earlier this evening.
Asshat BDJ even? MBF is good to read at Safeway when I go there to shop for groceries with my mommy.Ridemonkey said:

Now, the real question is which set of crowns did they actually review? I mean, they SAID they reviewed the Go-Ride crowns, but maybe the dumbasses actually rode the Risse ones...
Thats for sure, along with Bowhunting and Soldier of Fortune. I'm afraid to subscribe. Binary, who knows? Does it matter?Zoso said:

Too bad Scott hasn't noticed this thread... I wonder if he noticed the article?

You notice that out of the dozens and dozens of comments that I'm sure they got from that picture, they posted probably one of the only ones that ended "great mag!"...RhinofromWA said:

Put in the same place....wich would you print? Seriously....some flaming letter or a azz kissing one?binary visions said:You notice that out of the dozens and dozens of comments that I'm sure they got from that picture, they posted probably one of the only ones that ended "great mag!"...
I would think since Go-Ride had their name mentioned and unless you know the difference already you could not tell the pic was a Risse crown I am thinking Go-Ride come out on top.Acadian said:and he finds it funny??

They wanted to put a pic of our crowns but we sent them a pic of the crowns floating in a cauldron of blood on a stack of skulls being stirred by a devil woman in an Evil Bikes T shirt. :evil:
Hey, I'm not arguing with the decision, but I still think it's funny to imagine how many letters they had to dig through to find a nicely written oneRhinofromWA said:

I'm not sure how Risse feels about it, but we're stoked to have our name mentioned in MBA just because so many people read it. It doesn't really matter about the crowns though, as we're already having trouble keeping up with the demand for them (as anybody who's bought one will probably attest). RC can laugh everything off; he works for a magazine that censors the names of products, gives poor reviews to mfgs who don't advertise heavily with them, and mislabels products they've supposedly been riding and testing for weeks. I think MBA is Hi-Torque's comic relief; when a writer from MXA or RC Car needs a laugh, they just go over to the MBA cubicle and start spewing.Acadian said:and he finds it funny??

So any publicity is good publicity? I guess, and I agree you guys came out on top here, but you wouldn't feel the same way if you were mentioned in a negative or thoughtless manner like a lot of their "in-depth" reviews. RC caters to 12 year olds - good for him but I want no part of it.

I read a lot of magazines. Car ones, bike ones, moto ones, off-road ones, and of all the editorials out there, RC's has to be the gayest, most boring one of them all. And the way they screw up so much, it's retarded. I only get that magazine for the ads and pictures/race results.
