Thank you, this might save me a lot of $$$ on those titanium wonders.

The question I'm left wondering, is the spindle on the crank 29.99mm?

Won't anyone think of the stiffness.

I look forward to reading these. 

As one of WBP's statistics I kept flaunting Darwin with my progression vs. (in)ability, (all while looking like a storm trooper with neck protection).  Reversion to the mean occurred and I was repeating my life story every 30 minutes to some poor paramedic in the ambulance on the drive to Lion's Gate hospital to fix a lot of things.

Healed up, went back and only rode trails I was comfortable with.  For about two years.  Eventually the skills came and the boredom crept in and progression occurred at a proper pace I'd say.  So much so that I now love Crabapple Hits and can't wait for the snow to melt.  There is a safe way to play this game, it just comes down to suppressing that feral need to ride as well as the pros we so commonly see here.

As a side note, I am very vocal with all my roadie friends that they are fucking nuts to be strapping 10-20 pounds on their crotch and going to war with inattentive drivers.  I'll take WBP over that risk any day.

That was a good read..

LOL skootch leg.

SO much gold here!

This is great!

Bastards, Fall 2014? These look like they'll be my next shoes if I can somehow make these AM41's last.

Aaron took a lot of notes from our NHL boys on how to do an interview.

That makes no sense.  You'd think if Saint stuff was 70% more expensive all their other lines would too.

This industry is a mess.

And so June 1 marks the end of me buying Shimano products.

In my experience Jenson has been as cheap or cheaper than across the pond for quite sometime now.  No need to switch!

A pair of complete Saint brakes is $370 USD from Jensen whereas the same pair from Bike-Components.de is $350 CAD...

Which is great because the crew was probably sitting around bored most of the day and now they finally have some things to do.

Kidding aside, conditions are what is to be expected in May.  Fucking perfect.

The end-jump for DM is looking to be a beautiful monster.  The trees are gone so it will no longer be a small field-goal step-up, but one with a ton of acreage to get creative with.  Did an EZ lap to have a look at the other parts of DM and she looks ready to go.

Walked Crabs to see whats up and saw the scarlet pink at the start but didn't notice it further down.  I fucking hope they don't have to dig up 3 & 4.  A small machine was building up the end-berm before a-line so I have hope.

Feels like I haven't ridden DM in decades.  Hope we don't have to wait much longer.

Is there some sort of Edge card dealio for the WBP? Or is it now another #vailfail

I heard some chair chatter about 5 & 10 pass cards.

From what I was told there was never an issue ever.  For whatever reason someone came and said you have to correct this now.

Happy days upon us again.

As someone who never did Crapapple until last year, can someone tell me how long it usually takes to get it up and running?

Bad news people.  When you see lines spray-painted in the mud and flags in certain spots... it's gonna be dug up.  And the WBP crew will have to deal with the fallout for something that predated them by a long time.

As someone who recently ran a 50 amp circuit to my hot tub I read and followed the code that it should be a certain depth underground.  The "contractors" Whistler hired however many moons ago did not know this.

Shouldn't you be out riding the park, Red?

I typed this out at Black's after a number of laps.  The WBP is fun.

.. felt like I should’ve called BINGO or something.  Got it from my Facebook group, Hateful Old Hikers Association.

Anyways, they say what we all know, bikes are tools of the devil.
