Jeeeeesus

Is it just me or are half lid helmets just getting uglier and uglier the past few years?

Nothing like a crisp snap.

Way to gloss over the intent of the article but focusing on something completely superficial.

The Z1 uses the exact same air side topcaps as the regular 36. I know that Fox was using identical stanchions on both sides for a couple years (and it's unlikely that's changed now) then presumably the topcap threading for the dampers would be the same as the regular 36s also. I would be very surprised if the Grip2 damper didn't work.

The inner stanchion wall is a different size on the Z1/Rhythm forks but that really makes no difference in regards to the damper, just the air spring unless I'm missing something.

They use the same CSU and air springs as the 36 Rhythm forks.

Those are some gnarly bails... jesus

I wore mine commuting for 1 winter and the black inner liner is already severely torn up. Only rode it mountain biking once, it only gets about 5k riding each day 5 days a week. I'm pretty disappointed.

It was a warranty replacement for my Chute jacket from last year (zipper failuer on the Chute) so I doubt I can warranty it again. The fit and look are great and the function was great up until it fell apart but now it leaks like a sieve. Sadface.

What's with all the skidding?

Let's see some video 😀

This is my favorite part about the Velocity plugs

Looks a lot like a flip chip for sure.

Not a lot of info on the Spec website, do these have a pretty good fit on a variety of rims?

Speaking from my experience when I used to skateboard; if you're attempting something like that and there are potentially other people around then it is your responsibility to have spotters and wait for your opportunity. You don't stop people, you let them pass and you go when you can and if you don't get the opportunity then you're shit out of luck. I would also have been justifiably annoyed by that.

Nickel, maybe this is a dumb question... but are those kinds of moves "allowed" by the bike park? Like if I blasted that Fade to Black to Cougar transfer and park patrol was there, would they give me shit or revoke my pass?

Technically you're crossing the ropes of the two trails so I guess I wouldn't be surprised.

I've always thought about the transfer the other direction, left in to Ninja Cougar. One quick bunny hop and you're in to Ninja Cougar, I just don't have the balls to try it. @ 10 minutes

That said, how can I rip strava laps down duffman without issue, yet crash on CIU?

My guess would be confidence.

This is it right here.

As someone who has been on the jump struggle bus for a long time it's all in your head.

I play video games.

There's no shortage of speed coming off that road that's for sure, I would just think the trees on the left might be in the way no?
