Hear hear. Thanks for this, it sums up my feelings entirely.

I’m waiting for the arms to be 0.1mm thinner and 15% stiffer before I invest.

Please get someone with a wide foot to report back on fit.

Zee Germans for any tools you can buy that you can use.  Park Tools for truing stands and weird bike tools no one else makes.

The Wera hex set is a billion times better than any of the crap I've used to date.

Congrats Tim!  Way to persevere.  That was a great read...

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..

The whole, "The Customer Is Always Right" mantra combined with absolutely random scheduling combined with low pay has decimated the hospitality industry here in Whistler.

This billion dollar resort desperately needs foreign workers who'll come work here for slave wages so a few owners here can buy another helicopter.

Fuck e

That closing day crabs session was something else.

This is probably a stretch, but hear me out.

Maybe we should have a federal beneficial ownership registry to see who is really buying our housing stock... and not a bullshit one, like an actual, "We will take it away from you if you lie" type one.

If we allow anyone from anywhere to buy our housing stock we need to accept that those living there will never be able to buy in.

That type of policy is very expensive when it comes to civil unrest.

You saw that referendum they had in Berlin right?

As for who is buying our housing stock? Pretty sure it's just a few large companies.

Pretty awesome about Berlin.  Hopefully it starts a trend.

We can't say for certain who's buying what because beneficial ownership registries are not something our political parties want to enact.  Mainly because those parties income comes from a lot of property developers.  I have my hopes for BC's registry, but I have a sneaking suspicion there are some massive sized holes in there for the rich to waltz through.

Recommend me a weight loss pill. Not meth, just your garden variety fat burner. Metabolic enhancer, whatever.

Just don't.  They don't work, and if they did they'd end your life quicker.

Eat/drink less.

I'm also upset that people want to live where I live and go to the places where I want to go when I want to go there.

On a separate note, have any of you heard of this man-made-climate-change thing?

Family vacation in Tofino on the 1st Truth and Reconciliation Day, smooth Justin, real smooth. Does anyone actually like him anymore?

At this point I have to wonder about the sycophants he has installed around him.  Did no one say, ‘you know JT, the optics on this Tofino trip are going to be pretty terrible…. maybe we push that trip out a few days?’

Seriously.

I used to call him a puppet, but now it seems he's pulling the strings.

That's not bad, but honestly I'd like to see more.

Like what?

So anybody here is ok with arbitrarily being detained by the chinese  ?

but maybe not  being arbitrarily detained by the Americans ?

But why them? 

You really think there's nothing shady about one of the only westerners to have a personal relationship with Kim Jong Un? 

Or a guy who works for the ICG? An heavily funded western think tank organization famous for championing NATO wars and awarding the president of myanmar the pursuit of peace award at the same time he was cleansing his country of rohynga muslims? 

I'm willing to believe it was retaliation detaining them but there was definitely something that set those two apart from the other 300 thousand Canadians they could have chosen.

Dude.
