Dec 25, 2016
by Pinkbike Staff  
Merry Christmas from everyone at Pinkbike to all riders worldwide! How naughty or nice were you this year? Let's hear what new bike gear Santa brought you this year, because we all know that's all we asked for.

He knows when you re sleeping. He knows when you re awake... Our local Santa aka Kraja got his Miami Viced reindeer - Cody and shared some love with fellow elves. Enjoy your Christmas mates Santa also mentioned that all the bad diggers will get shovels instead of bike parts this year Photo credit Badphoto

 I'm jealous. I got nada. I'm currently overseas in a location that I can't disclose right now thousands of miles away from my wife and kids. So I'm sitting in my tiny little choo reading about all of you guys that get to ride your bikes.

 @makkman: You're not as enlightened as you think you are, dipshit. Our leader for the past 8 years may have had a lot of commie tendencies, but he does not define this country as a whole. You assuming he does is no better than dumbf*cks booing servicemen when they return home overseas because you disagree with the war, rioting against police doing their job because ONE officer made a mistake or the media portrayed a rightful action as a wrongful one, or being racist because of the actions of a very few. In short, go f*ck yourself.

 I feel for you buddy. I'm six months post surgery for the same thing. The bad news: you're more than 6 months from totally recovery, probably closer to 9-12. The good news: you're about a month from getting started on your rehab and 12 weeks from pushing yourself hard. Not gonna lie to you, the first 2 months suck ass, but if things go well and you work at it you'll be on a road bike by spring and some light duty mtn bike by late summer. chin up and good luck!

 It's honestly too much trouble to explain the intricacies of what bike parts and gear I want to non-riding family members. They mean well, but rarely get the details right (and who can blame them).

 A Calandar featuring Wild Horses of Sand Wash Basin. This is the perfect mountain bike gift for me this season. I have been pioneering routes using the moto trails, atv routes and wild horse game trails for good times on a mountain bike. I'll mark the days and routes as I continue to learn the zone this season. Over thousands of acres and hundreds of miles, I've never seen another bike track out there yet that I didn't leave on my own. Soon I'll post my best routes on Trailforks.
