MBA against downhillers?
- Thread starter Uncle Cliffy
- Start date
that reminds me...
this is also a magazine whose parent publishing company came out in support of prop 8.
Michael Bay Action?
SO MANY reasons to not buy/read this mag. It is at the bottom of the heap by far.
i think it's funny that you're all getting your panties in a tangle over some sh!tty mag
On a kind-of-related-but-not-really note, did anyone glance at that "How Long Should Your Bike Last?" article? When I saw that, according to MBA(F), I should replace my ti frame every 4 or 5 years I just laughed and threw it back on the newstand.
Is there any way maybe that dh article is a giant April Fools joke?

Yeah, in a perverse way this conversation is actually getting MBA's name further out there. Bad coverage is better than no coverage at all. Best to ignore them.
I was thinking/hoping that might be the case. Though it sounds like they're ignorant enough for it to be an actual article.
Yeah, I totally agree, couldn't have said it better.
As for MBA: Perfect example of putting your foot in your mouth even though your head is up your ass.
When guys from MBA show up at Fontana, Sea Otter or Port Angeles, I am sure they will get some serious !#$!
I've seen 9 inch travel bikes ridden on suburban bike paths, hybrids on double black diamonds. It is all riding, and as long the rider is safe and happy, I'm all for it.
As for trails, my number one concern as a trailbuilder is building sustainable trails. Properly sloped, water runoff, follow the contour.
Most DH trails I've ridden follow all of these guidelines. A well-built line that takes you over a rock face or a log jump will last for my lifetime.
It is ridiculous to think discriminating against a class of bikes will solve any problems. How many collisions have their been with 3 inch travel bikes on open fireroads?

Well I did, with better grammar. Those spam bots are getting really annoyingYeah, I totally agree, couldn't have said it better.

btw. Ive noticed a strange correlation - Our local Mag is called Bike Action and it is as crap as MBA. The only differance is that they focus on the bmx/dj/dh not bikerfoxism(because MBA sure seems like it was written by him). Are there any other action magazines that suck donkey coconuts? If this was a trend it we would know what to avoid
Several years ago they said a dual slalom frame needs to be replaced every year. I think that was the same article where they decided to can the term freeriding in favor of black diamond riding. Yeah, that's the last article I ever read from them.
Was it in this (April) issue per chance? I think Uruk-hai hit the nail on the head. Somewhat irresponsible of such a high circulation publication though!Magazine trolling??
I say we do it back, but with decline

Don't like MBA too much, too, but it is just the April Issue.
We're basically forming an internet version of that now. Could someone email them a link to this forum?
