I have no opinion on the topic at hand, but when I end up at the Whistler clinic and Clark walks in the room I feel a lot better.

Here's to hoping all of you who end up there see Clark as well.

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.

tldr;

How to compose a successful critical commentary:

You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.
        You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
        You should mention anything you have learned from your target.
        Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

Looks like e-Bay is now the seller of SRAM and Shimano parts.

Got the hardest jump on crabs on auto now.  If you don't jump the Crab Turns rock to #2 but roll it leisurely, two to three pedal strokes and a gentle pop will see you off to #3 proper.

(FWIW, whenever I ride Monkey Hands I treat it like a bomb ready to go off)

LOL, Goat's is my, "I'll do it once every year or three".  I prefer to bomb right past the fucker after OSIN to hit the rock wall ride on BV.

I will also concede MH is not all-time.  I don't think it has ever been all-time...

Sweet trail-forking Christ... rode Seven Year War for the first time this year and the poor girl is dead.

Everything else is all-fucking-time.

Pretty big update today. 

The little nose-bonk jump that was before the jump-wall-ride from 30 years ago was reverted back to nose-bonk status after it was lipped yesterday.

In other news, tech-Aline-south was under many many shovels and then the Indonesian monsoons hit. 

If you noticed a dude falling off Lower Canadian Open after all the fun stuff into the Monkey Hands runoff, I wasn't the first, but I was a few of them.

One would assume he’s referring to the ISS.

as long as they are not self sufficient up there i would not call that "living in space"

If you ever thought to yourself, “Holy moly, A-Line is a neat trail”, you should cancel whatever you’re doing for the next few days and ride it.

A lot.

I don’t think it’s ever been this good.
