I love seeing old foggies getting day passes from the Quack Bin to perform shows like this. Go Elderly! I like the medicated, old denture, 75 year old faded vocals.

Whatever Drop xB Metal only.
They were one of the best three member power trios of the day.
They will not be forgotten.
It can't be all sweeps and double kick drums all of the time son.
Sometimes you have to feel the blues, jazz, funk, country and soul influence.

Other threes of note:
Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Rush
Primus
Wolfmother
Green Day
Motorhead
Nirvana
ZZ Top
The Police

Why does this always turn into the Music Thread that everyone hates... XB was just trying to promote a NOCS fundraiser coming up.. Thanks for thrasing NOCS's music choices, and trying to sway potential customers to other terrible music. If this fundraiser runs at a loss, its on your back Shred.

And... speaking of more than double kicks; true, but you know there is more than riding dh. Shred you really need to get a motor bike, because you are in complete denial that you ride a pedal bike and see no enjoyment in the fact that it is a human powered machine. DH is for lazy hacks. Get your up hil on.

Danny Hart off the Giant DH team for 2015.
Makes sense, with the new 27.5 Glory, Danny couldn't reach the ground with his feet.

This trail berm roost shot has gone too far...

Although possibly just a farce, pinkbikes latest news story is teaching kids straight up how to destroy volunteer built trails. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/how-to-get-a-shredding-turn-photo-2014.html
Like XB said, he's sure this is all a gag and is not meant to take seriously but trails are getting thrashed at the hands of "up-and-coming " local bro sponsored shredders and a handful of irresponsible videographers and photographers.
With 3/4 + of all of the Okanagan's trail work being done by volunteer effort, trail builders are getting ticked off and quite unfortunately stopping their efforts of maintaining trail due to some of these circumstances. Local bike organizations can only manage and build so much trail in a year, with still the majority of work being done by volunteers on their own accord on their personal time, along with in conjunction with efforts from the club.

Something to think about next time you are thrashing someones creation and hard work. Volunteers spend countless hours going back maintaining and keeping all these trails open. If these volunteers would stop doing such work the local bike clubs would be faced with possibly paying for such work to be done and that is less funds that can be put towards new trails and bike related projects for the future.

Roosting berms/ corners and scrubbing off lips of features look great in bike parks, but it gets complicated when this trail destructon is done in remote trail areas which take a lot of effort/time to get back to and repair and maintain.

Our riding area is a very maintenance high area of trail to maintain with the quite thick growing underbrush and multiple different types of soil in which some erode that very quickly. Combine this with large shoulder seasons of precipitation and snow melting which is a perfect environment for rotting wood very fast. Any more maintenance / trail destruction put on top of this is a heavy burden on the system.

Please contribute to local trail building efforts through your local bike club and spread awareness of preservation of the trails. With newly adopted trail building techniques taught through IMBA / NSMBA / Whistler Trail Building Codes; trails going forward will surely be built more sustainable and "bomb proof" in the future, but we may as well preserve the more delicate trails in existence out there.

Efforts to spread images / moving images of MTB'ing through pictures videos are great and fun to look at and they all mean well, but that market is super over saturated and easy to get into and fairly easy to carry out. Volunteer trail builders are very limited in number in our area, and it is a very difficult activity to carry out, so we should respect their efforts, help where we can and try not to piss them off out of their roles. Most of the people carrying out this work do the majority of their work unknown to the public, receive no compensation, and seek no gratitude or thanks... Most do out of love for the sport and volunteer in a much needed spot to fill to keep trails open. Please support your local trail builder and local Trail Society's efforts.

OK, looks like no one wants to argue with that!
Having spent a few hrs with a pulaski in hand, it does drive me nuts when riders straighten out lines in search of their latest KOM. I always thought corners were the fun part & where the skill came in.
On a lighter note seeing as Shred had mentioned Hendrix, that old dude on the bike & I are probably the only ones here to have actually seen him in concert.
Vancouver '68, Hendrix too stoned to function, but Vanilla Fudge stole the show.
