 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!

 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?

 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!

 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.
