why would Rocky spec the Fit damper instead of the Grip2?

I bet my Aurum HSP weighed in less

seems like the enduro riders like bikes that are light(ish) with all the climbing and long stages.  Last enduro race saw no high pivots near the podium and where were the mullets?  

Thinking this bike is made for very specific riders/terrain.

"feeding off each other"

also less drag...

with 4 tokens on a Zeb you are probably using 60% of the travel on a dh track

the irony...

11 speed ftw!

gotta look cool at the Dumpsters bro... #fashioniseverything

my math showed it was over a 100 gram savings....  so almost 1/4 lb.  It looks the same and you have lots of contact so I'm not worried and been on it for over 3 months.

I would say that the Fox reporter is really earning his paycheque for looking like an idiot over and over.

ProTip: 1 wrap of  Gorilla Tape then 2 wraps of electric (each wrap to a sidewall).

Rode the bike park on Saturday and wasn't that dusty compared to Blackcomb trails.  Why does Kohut now get to go in the priority line?

shuttling Fromme would take longer overall than climbing...

When a 2 ft wide path become ten 2 ft wide paths.  Some areas of upper Seymour are completely sh*t kicked and are a disaster and eyesore now. Many respect ‘holistic’ trails, but sadly many more don’t.

Upper Seymour is a disaster. I love a good illegal trail but 20 intertwining trails none of which are particularly well built or drain is not good for our park.

That being said, I think trails do more for the environment than we think. When people get out and enjoy nature, I think they are more likely to advocate for the environment with their votes and purchasing practices.

someone should fix those!

Not sure if that's a serious comment or not...? Assuming it is serious, what do you mean by environmental damage? Bunch of people walking on a relatively short path in the woods is an issue... to what?

I can't see the BP trail getting any worse than it already is, but over the last year, Cove Runner, which used to be not much more than a goat path, has been completely beat down due to all the traffic it has been getting as an alternative to the BP.

Yeah that's the point I was trying to make... how is Quarry Rock any different than any other hiking trail near a populated area? 

Re. environmental damage - what does that even mean? Like are there endangered species plants in the direct route of the trail? Are the people hiking causing some sort of pollution to our drinking water? Or are people just worried that there's a walking path in the woods? Assuming it's the latter... Canada is like 99% untouched wilderness, and in terms of environmental issues, people using the wilderness for personal recreation are the the least of your worries... compared to mining, forestry, oil and gas, real estate, etc. 

I really disagree when people use the environmental argument to say that building mountain bike trails is bad (aside from very specific circumstances). Why is a 2 foot wide path in the woods such a bad thing?

2ft path is no where near 2ft anymore and continues to grow.  Off leash dogs are a nightmare on the surrounding area.  I think people can survive if they can't access Quarry Rock from Deep Cove.

word on the street is that Quarry Rock is/will be permanently "closed".  Too much of a shit show and the environmental damage is huge.

IMBA....  lol, that's not going to go well.  They yet to have built a trail that's worth riding.  Good luck in that zone.

Upper Dales is how not to build or maintain a trail....  the flat rocky corners are downright treacherous at speed.  They should have fixed up the upper part and the tax payers would have been way better off.  Epic fail on Metro and Joyride.

Beer store gets lots of business from bikers.
