Have you guys seen this on the team robot machine?

He makes a good case for some silly shots that, yeah, aren't what the WC pros do...but still...they're kinda fun to look at. If all the photos on all the media was the perfect form and composure of a top 20 WC DH pro, then I think I'd rather have the robot kill me nao.

Cynical old serious robot simply missed the point.
Yes. All those pics are shit. But that's #fashionable in the world of mtb just now. with the likes of 50/01 etc. microsectioning tracks. not to find ultimate speed through the section but to have fun with it. you know... for laughs.
Doubt Robot could fight his way out a paper bag TBH
Evenly Tarnished Tinman?
I used to like / respect Lee. I have his first two MTB books, and they are pretty good.
Now with the rowing machine.....I'm thinking maybe one too many times over teh barz?
Emu-fucking Tourettes Thundercunt?
Extra Terrestrial Tuna?
hmm, is there any swear word that starts with an "e"?

Just resort to Spanish and say "Estúpido (stupid) Tonto (fool) Tiragomas (cocksucker)"
Pelotudo Is even better.

That's almost 3500 km away, and from a different country.
On a related matter, you English speaking guys have a long way to go to even start scratching the surface of a proper curse.
@johnbryanpeters you lived down here for a while didn't you? Then you might understand and properly value this:
I wish. I'd like to spend about five years in Argentina to pick up the language and culture and to ride. I have an amiga from Bueno Aires, which is what got me interested in all this.
I'm from La Plata, 60 km away from Buenos Aires. If you ever come down here, ping me and I'll book you some amazing rides, either with me or with some amazing friends I have all along the Andes, who really like to share their riding places with anyone willing to discover them.

meh. i'm more surprised they're only introducing ONE new format.Countdown to RM implosion regarding the new SRAM BB spindle format.
from pinkbike:
"Keep in mind that it's been eight years since SRAM last updated their bottom brackets – it's not a component that constantly changes."

DUB BOTTOM BRACKETS. DESIGNED BY SKRILLEX.
you should update your original 'what's wrong' post with a new pic of all the current bb standards.from pinkbike:
"Keep in mind that it's been eight years since SRAM last updated their bottom brackets – it's not a component that constantly changes."
oh wait...
someone just needs to make a 1.01mm spindle sleeve shim to use these cranks with a 30mm bb
We should really start a thread in the spirit of EFF's Stupid Patent of the Month, but with MTB standards. Something like "Stupid standard of the Month" or so.
Tip OneUp Components, I'm more than sure they'll be pretty happy to charge you $50 for a couple of anodized aluminium rings
