 So, once a rider/team have built a line, is it fair game for anyone to hit it? Or is it off-limits? Because surely that could cause all kinds of 'I saw it first' bullshit?

 Funny how pinkbike is hiding the fact that bourdo's line is possibly the craziest, most exposed line ever done in mtbing...

 If I were Buehler or Bourdo, and a racer like Brendogg, or a slopestyler won, I'd be a little bit dark aye. It'd be like a field hockey player showing up and dominating the NHL... In saying that, I do hope Brendogg takes it!

 Wil White is an Animal! Hitting the Oakley sender like it's no big deal! Watch out for him, he's a shredder! So stoked on this contest. Brendan's line looks mental! Building his own massive Canyon Gap! and apparently Zink and Cmac have big plans for the pre-made Canyon gap! Cant wait to see it go down!

 Am I looking in the wrong place or does the 2nd new wooden feature that fires you at that huge kicker land you on a really flat landing ?

 as far as I can tell, no one in that meeting is getting safe. Maybe should ask some of the riders how to do it.

 These are the best set of MTB photos I have ever seen in my life! Simply brilliant! The darkness, the dust, the compositions....other worldly and not too obvious. I am inspired.

 My shift is over, I get home and instead of going straight to bed, I turn on the computer and holy crap, Margus Riga delivers... again ! How in the hell am I going to sleep now with TC Nadine howling outside my window, and "dirty" pictures in my head ?

 I am so looking forward to this. Lets hope that lagging servers dont spoil this one. Got mighty sick of being bounced back to some "extreme" redbull advert and having to reconnect

 Ill be at that comp on Sunday these guys show all of us that no matter your discipline, with hard work, commitment and the heart to achieve something great things can happen. I'm so stoked to be able to see this first hand!!! SEND IT WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 Brendan posted a photo of his gap on twitter and it looks like its come straight out of a video game. no for real life. psychotic is 100% the right word for that line.

 If brendan wins i really hope he doesnt quit racing and start doing freeride events. Don't want to loose another one of the most stylish riders out there like Nico Vinc.

 So will Brendog's line be for qualification and not in the right zone for finals, or the other way around? It confuses me.

 Use and abuse of Instagram is fucking boring. I hate it more and more everyday.

 The nickname "Brendog" is an aweful nickname to have I wonder if he likes it? Either way that guy shreads and I am chearing for him. But I want Zink to win it again, seen that guy at Northstar and a super chill cat.

 Maybe we should call him Brencat then. Smile

 Why is Bourdo riding in 90s ravers jeans? Are JNCO the new slim? Wink
  • 24 2
 because he is a man, not some fixie hipster. maybe thats why.
  • 7 1
 Ok Im getting my raver jeans for biking, so I can be a man too! They are super good for getting stuck in the chain & sprocket I hear....

 And skinny jeans are super good for becoming impotent.

So... jeans stuck in chains (that don't happen btw when using a guide and bash guard), are worse than becoming impotent? There has been many many proofs that overly tight jeans causes blanks. The 60's, 70's and 80's were enough proof that wearing tight jeans produces retarded seedlings, so why is the trend coming back?
Tight/skinny jeans are good on one sex... and that's females.

If I wanted to see guys in "skinny" jeans I'd go to the gay rodeo in texas. Straight guys don't need to "show" or "worry" about their "figure". But, function over looks... then why don't cord's or mesh pants come back then?

Also reno, the only people I know that like white walls on their bikes are hispanic and ride "lowrider" bikes around. La coucha rach ah la coucha rach ah la la la la laaa.

And white walls are awsome? Talk about being a poser adult that grew up in the 70's.

 And eeek nhp890, I thought my shorts were short being right above the knees... but riding in a swimming drag suit.... that's scary.

 So, if I wear skinny jeans that means I won't have to worry about girls getting knocked up anymore? hmmm...?

 Hmm, not too many straight guys I know saying "dripping" as an adjective these days. Sounds sort of... well...

 And btw Slaythenight, might want to check "dates" a bit more. For someone who has been here less than a bit, you sure are trying to act "cool".
