Two more days to enter the Secret Santa!
Entries must be in by midnight on November 29th. We're kicking off the 2024 Secret Santa! Exchange gifts with other monkeys - from beer and snacks, to bike gear, to custom machined holiday decorations and tools by our more talented members, there's something for everyone.
bike park = no pack at all.
Yes very true about breaking a phone while riding. But, it seems fairly risky to me to be riding alone, near closing, in a bike park. They don't sweep the trails at the end of the day.
And yes that operates under the assumption that he'd see hikers or someone else. But also operating under the assumption that he won't die or break bones by just sitting there and waiting for help sounds logical to me. His friend Felix was also waiting for him, from what I can tell. It should be safe to assume if his friend never showed up after they closed, he might go looking for him or call for help?
Nell.then what do the mounties do up there?
Neither northstar nor mammoth sweep either.then what do the mounties do up there?
That's the thing about giving a shit. It's hard sometimes.
Even Alyeska sweeps, but I believe there is a procedure the lifties use at closing to ensure the last loaded person departs at the top. I was up on the hill at the end a few weekends ago as I was enjoying using tire plugs and they had the sweepers positioned. I don’t believe they actually go down every trail, but all of the ones where someone would presumably drag their body to.
What part of this is wrong with the bike industry? Are you guys saying the lift-assisted mountains (many under regular threat of closure) should do more to protect people from this kind of thing?
Or is this what's wrong with the legal and health care industries?

maybe it’s just me, but I think the park shouldn’t just shut down the lifts with people on the chairs and the employees go home.
Back to e-bike road racing, we just had confirmation it's as fucked up as regular road racing:

I cannot believe the asshats on top of any cycling association are colluding with this nonsense. For fucks sake, biking is all about being OUTSIDE. And now, they even have e-juicing for the indoor pedaler.

I'm confused. Isn't this E-E-bike racing and not just E-bike racing?Back to e-bike road racing, we just had confirmation it's as fucked up as regular road racing:

This. The fact they would "unlock" better bikes by climbing or juice up their score to improve their performance makes this as related to biking as playing pac-man.
E-EWS. 2020.
Holy crap, I thought you are joking. Then I saw the front page of Vital....
competitive exercising!
oh how i wish i wasn't
Don't compare those gamers to the... I don't know what to call them. Those gamer's have a shitload of teamwork, skill, and are hypercompetitive at what they do. The other group is... I don't know how to describe them. Failed athletes who couldn't compete at a real sport?
"EWS-E will offer a new format of enduro racing that features both technical climbs and descents"
Isn't that called XC?
"This new format will retain the core values of existing Enduro World Series races but held on separate courses that will challenge riders on a vast variety... driving forwards the development of e-bike technology and e-bike trail management and design."
Fuck you assholes

They called it cross country racing back in my day. I guess being outside just got too dangerous.
Le wut?
Wider radius turns for their supercharged egos.
i guess with XC courses returning to something resembling mountain biking i guess the dirt roadies had to do something
Social Roundup: Medal Contender Injuries and Burly Rock Gardens - Tokyo 2020 Test Event - Pinkbike
Any roadies looking for a soft option at the Olympics next year are going to be bitterly disappointed.
Well I guess that will prevent any switchback-induced rage fits Kidwoo might have.
Thats why they started the Crossfit games and tough mudders
You talkin' 'bout natural, insecure trails or IMBA trails? Asking for a friend...
Either one. Even shitty imba flow trails are less lame than SPARTAn!!!!! and crossfit
maybe
being healthy and maintaining fitness is now stupid?
Don't piss on the crossfit people. They are a weird bunch, but they like moving/carrying heavy things around, they don't care whether their efforts serve a purpose or not, and you don't have to pay them to do it
.All very desirable things for trail building... Perfect symbiotic relationship IMO. (Just don't drink their protein shakes...)
This is RM. If its not on the list it sucks.
The list
DH courses between 1998 - 2008
20mm axles
26" wheels
Well....yeah, that's why I said it. Instead of doing something productive, they're PAYING MONEY to out kettle bell each other in a stinky gym indoors. Training for something presumably outdoors at some point. Like tough mudder or SPARTA!!!!Don't piss on the crossfit people.

In the meantime getting people to come outside to actually do something like build a trail is like pulling teeth.
