I used to live about 10 blocks away from the aquatic center and I used to think about riding down it in some way every single time I would go by it. I've never seen Wades clip before, so awesome.

On the topic of spy shots and early releases you definitely picked the right mag, cuz a couple weeks ago they leaked a SRAM Gx AXS ad that was still under embargo lol

Holy, I haven't heard the phrase "Hoist by their own petard" since I read it in the Piers Anthony book Killobyte when I was about a dozen years old.

I don't know if I've ever seen such a positive review from Mr Coleman. That's not trying to say anything negative about his reviews as I generally enjoy them very much, but seems like the bike was very well received :)

The amount of CSUs and bushings I've replaced from people who said things like "I haven't serviced it in 3 years and it's still running great!", black oil, torn bladders, bent shims, worn damper and air shafts, corroded lowers from worn out dust wipers, destroyed bottom out bumpers, seized controls, stuck down air springs... and on and on.

Service your suspension folks.

Haven't ridden that in years! Such a great trail!

Those last 2 photos, is that the entrance to Espresso? Last time I saw it the ladder was green, rutted, and slimy and the section where he's standing was just roots and rocks. Oh well, at least the rock line to riders right is still gnarly... right?

Thanks! That's all great info

I appreciate the info :)

We've been debating back and forth between the Macride and the KRS seat for about a year now. Andrew (or anyone else) can you chime in either way? I assume you bought the KRS seat for a reason rather than the alternatives.

No worries, we definitely appreciate that you're volunteering your time - I just wanted to put this out there again. For the most part the forum operates relatively smoothly without any moderation as most of us here pretend to be adults most of the time and the hormone fueled stupidity gets call out pretty quickly. However, there are times when some moderation would be appreciated. I'm not sure who'd be willing to step up as a mod, but considering some of the conflicts I don't know if that would work due to the differences that exist between some forum members and some would end up crying foul. There for sure are posts where moderation can be applied though as the forum rules are being broken in relation to excessive flaming. Without a report post function though it makes it hard.

The problem mainly exists with some threads being littered with false, misleading and/or objectionable information which can be difficult to skate by or just let go in circumstances where that info is bigoted/prejudicial in nature. Unfortunately when it does get called out things tend to spiral out of hand quickly. It's not something someone could necessarily be banned for, but for the most part their posts do not add anything productive to the discussion at hand and typically end up taking away from it. It seems that most people here are okay with some dissenting viewpoints, but it gets tiring when those dissenting viewpoints are almost always complete and utter BS.

Some of us made a bit of a gentlemen's agreement to try and ignore or not respond to the posts in question, but it's tiring to see them continually clog up threads where there has been some good discussion or chat.

I have the strong desire to replace my Wideangle with a Torrent but there is no stock. Sad face.

On my brief foray on to flat pedals I slipped a pedal and split my left shin down to the bone, 4 inch gash roughly, bone fully visible on the trail, I can attest to syncros comment about your own bone being the whitest thing you'll ever see, destroyed my favorite tattoo, not ideal.

Jumped off a failed skinny on Pipeline, rolled my left ankle extremely badly and felt a crazy bad crunch in the foot, swollen like a football, thought for sure it was broken, xrays, doc said bruised bone from 2 bones in the foot slamming together but no break, couldn't put weight on it or wear shoes for like a week and a half.

OTB over 20 years ago on to a tree stump, fractured ribs, can't remember how many.

Thanks for the reminder to rewatch this, it's been about 10 years.

I just grabbed the very first one from Oxford dictionary from Google.

Anything in this area could be good, short trails, easily repeatable, not a bad climb.

What do you think is the best way to lap it? Just push up?

This was my initial thought but didn't suggest it cuz that push would be shit lol

What about this section of Neds? I haven't ridden it in like 10 years so I don't remember what the very end is like but it looks like a short enough loop.

I have a set on a bike that I've ridden on the road on the way home from work for about 8 kilometers and they feel alright, waaaaaay better than the Guide T's on a bike I rode on Burke a handful of times.

You're welcome for my nearly completely useless reply lol.
