haha syncro, i think you went into the only album that doesn't include biking but damn those digglers are fun! oh and you don't have to be a red bull athlete to know the girls, you idiot. most of them are hired from the U of U, where i go to college... it's funny because they don't know a thing about biking so this is mind blowing to them.

what is the point of telling a bunch of people that dont know u that u know 2 girls in that pic?

scott-townes (Mar 3, 2012 at 6:07)

Because I find it hilarious that they have no idea their picture is on a major site where a bunch of kids make comments about their bums... by the way, you're 40, learn how to not type like a teen girl.

Vanderham's segment in Seasons it still one of my all-time favorite segments. High speed and big air. Braaaaap!

He is one of my favourite riders, going big, fast, loose and in style! even if he is just riding a trail without SS fireworks. Great to see him on a "small" bike as well

I understand you Lehel, it's like when there's a really hot girl you can't get, you try and tell yourself she's not beautiful

I like the concept of Winterviews, but I think Tippie should be doing the interviewing. Ryan B. is trying, but his delivery is so forced it's almost painful to watch.

I love watching Vanderham on the small bike... so fluid and relaxed looking. It's easy to forget how long TV has been in the game, given how young he was when he first turned pro. Great riding intro and interview, guys!

scotteh (Feb 28, 2012 at 9:45)

it's crazy that he's only 26 but has been to every rampage...vanderham is the man!

I think ryan does a good job. He's well prepared and the questions are well thought out. His delivery's fine. Some of you guys just bitch for the sake of bitching.

Also, his saddle is a bit skew in the last pic

sorry, i needed to be more precise: the knee guards in the 2nd photo after the vid clip. White plastic shell with straps. He has em on both knees which made me think they some form of standard knee guard instead of a prosthetic knee brace. anyone?

edit: no worries: i found it on the TLD website. It is a medical grade knee brace, and given that price, it ranks very high ito VFM:

beast-from-the-east (Mar 3, 2012 at 15:38)

don't know anything about carbon rims, but metal levers work just fine if you aren't ham-fisted. It's not like he used a screw driver. At home, I'd reach for these over the plastic lever any day, just like I'd reach for a proper wrench over a mini multi tool.
