Wow. That's low pinkbike

Wow. Some of us should probably listen to Biggups. While he is certainly exaggerating about the durability, (or lack thereof) of his fox gloves, it is true that for the price, mountain bike "specific" products are generally WAY overpriced for what they actually yield. I've never been impressed with the durability of modern mountain bike apparel, and I think that it's crazy that we've become accustomed to continue to support products that repeatedly fall short. And why? Because they have a logo on them? Because they are "mountain bike specific?" Well guess what folks, that's marketing, and it seems to be working very effectively in the mountain biking world. Biggups should be applauded for not succumbing to a company's marketing, and the whole idea of an industry fueled by consumption. If he has found a cheap pair of gloves that has lasted a long time, good for him! If there are any noticeable performance drawbacks to using said gloves, well then that's his problem. Why are we getting so mad about one guy who is pleased with a product that just might actually work, even though it doesn't have a TLD or Fox or Dakine logo on it. Let him continue to ride happily in his cheap moto gloves long into the sunset, while we continue to justify dropping 50$ on a new pair of gloves every season.

^ Lol I guess nobody cares

Yea. Rheeder probably would've gotten 2nd or at least a higher score than what he got, had he not dabbed on the switch truck.

You must be new to these fmb events. Anytime a rider falls off of his bike or even dabs a foot, he is harshly punished. It's always been like that. The judges usually reward consistency and control over some dude that's super squirelly and sketchy despite doing some banger tricks.

Yea, he only fell off his bike. Minor slip
