Cool review, with some pretty good photos of the bike.

I saw you testing this in august, while you were in the lift line. bike looked great in person.

Doing so in a couple of weeks. only easy riding until then, though.

I have an X2 coming in soon, so will get it warrantied then. I cannot feel any movement, but the noise is pretty constant, no matter what I ride. 

I've gotta say, I am really disappointed in fox. I bought this specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with the creaking and breaking BS from the 36 and lighter forks. Apparently, talking to someone with relations with Fox, is that some 38's have had the eliptical steerer tube cut the wrong way - rotated 90 degrees to the side, and that the skimped on weight for all of them. Supposedly they are already working on a V2 38, to be released quietly soon. I don't understand why they won't just beef these all up. If you want a lighter enduro fork, get a 36.

Have you had any issues with it? I have had my 38 for less than two months, less than 800km, and already have a creaky CSU on it. Very tempted to warranty.

Edit July 31: will be getting it warrantied when I get my new shock on. Should be a few weeks.

First article talks about the custom painted strive to commemorate them shipping here.

I am disappointed with Canyon. Anyone remember their Crankworx tent last year? When they announced they would be shipping to Canada by November of 2019? Crickets since the.

That Bottle cage looks surprisingly good. Might have to pick one up.

But the best bike in the world

still looks like a session.

Anyone care to comment on what is happening to family cross? It looks like they are taking out the rollers and jumps that you can triple and double.

It is the upper portion of Up Up And Away. Really steep and gnarly rolls. I did it a few weeks ago with a friend of mine.

Was running super well today - only one jump was wet, and a little tough to clear, but it was so smooth. The berms into both drops were pretty slick, and a little sketchy at speed.

I saw them too, from the lift. Gonna check it out tmrw.

Anyone know if Fade To Black is going to open soon? It might be open now, but I haven't been near that section in weeks.

Just rode DM today. It's finally gone! no weird kick, just a normal jump in its place.

If you’re thinking of coming to ride while Fitz is down.. it took me one hour to get to the top. I’d suggest not planning on using it.

In other news, that new Crank It Up jump at the end of Rutabaga can fuck off.

Which one? The final step up, or the weird step-down? or another jump?

It's the new one right where it merges with Pro-Line DM, before the bridge.

Understandable. It is awful, really weird kick to it with any speed. 

It can suck my ass.

Fitz is 21 years old now. Time for a new 6/8 pack? We can dream, but ROI is too low since it ain't much use in the winter other than defraying gondi lines and moving people out of sight to Garbo. I'd probably vote for a 6 pack on Red instead for more VD lapping in the winter.

Gotta agree. The only times I see lines on it during the winter are pow days and New Years. No real reason for them to upgrade it, at least as the winter season is concerned. Especially because the winter Garbo line would then be absolutely massive.

Summer, however, is the only real reason for them to change it to a 6. I doubt they would bother with an 8 anywhere that is open during the summer. Imaging having 8 people trying to load bikes at once, with even 1 or 2 not knowing how to load, it's screwed. 6 person chair is still pretty tough for some people - anyone have a photo of how the bike tray would look like on a 6?

Fitz has been bust for two days now.

Not looking good.

Fortunately we're allowed to use every gondy, but this weekend is going to fucking suck if shit isn't pulled together.

It's down? Any info as to why? I haven't been up since Monday.
