this thread represents everything that is wrong with the "internet biking community". WHO THE **** CARES. I am all for passing time in the winter, but this is nothing but each members interpretation of what it is cool. Good God, I would expect to see this on pinkbike. I guess RM is just like pinkbike, but with grownup idiots...

Hot:
- Be able to finally find the time to ride (it's summer here!!!!!)
- Suspension hydraulics (less preload, more control)

Not:
- Every single little punk here in Argentina thinking if you don't ride a singlespeed, brakeless, cheap bike you deserve to die
- Big companies trying to segment the market more and more as an excuse to overprice their products (think of the Fox 831)

Hot - small companies getting some recognition for making good stuff

Not - getting a real job, not riding, getting out of shape, and still not paying the bills. Oh well, there's always next season.

HOT:

Hot:
Buying or banging on about rear shocks from more and more obscure suspension companies.
Saying your broken collarbone was caused by your Leatt and would never have happened if you'd been wearing the Alpinestars.
Taking head angles into the high 50s.
Ditching your old frame that was the MF bomb 2-3 years ago, buying something new cos 'things have progressed', and then riding the same courses with your new bike, with no difference in your run times.
Taking the next logical step in flat bill cap one-upmanship, the riser bill.

Don't concern yourself with the 'Not', just keep looking fabulous and all will be well.
NOT:
