Que pinkbikers being terrified of a fizzy drink with a bit of caffeine while downing the largest, fattest, sweetest McBucks Latte (TM) before going back to 9h of office chair yoga in front of a screen. You guys are so health-conscious.

Markus Flossmann Returns as CEO of YT Industries
@mr-fabio: you've never used the exact gesture from that photo while scuba diving. Signed: a scuba diver. Look again. I'm not trying to assume the dude's intentions, just making clear for non-divers reading that is not the way we show "ok" underwater.

Video: Day 1 Sends from Darkfest 2024
@terriblejon: Good to hear insight from someone who's actually been on the other side of bike media. Curious to see where it goes. One point I fully agree with from your previous post is that the industry is clearly targetting moneyed middle aged dads way more than the kids and I'm not sure if that's great long term. Most kids I see on trails these days are there with/because of their riding parents. I almost feel bad for them that they didn't get a chance to discover mtb for themselves and make it something they do to be *away* from the old folks haha. I don't know, maybe it's good for business because a lot of those groms will keep at it as adults with their own money, but in terms of sport progression, kids riding mainly with parents seems a bit limiting to their imagination.

@warmerdamj: it also helps that outside of this tiny pinkbike bubble, xc bikes globally sell in far higher numbers than any other mtb varieties, it's not even close.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Value Bike of the Year Nominees
@AndrewFleming: That's right and my opinion is that $1500 for a fairly basic hardtail is not great value. It's good that it exists if you have a hard cap at $1500 but if you can stretch to an equally basic fs, I think you will get more bang for buck. Imho the ride experience between the two is way more different than the price delta would suggest. The Marin above starts at $1699 for a functioning fs bike. That's incredible value.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Value Bike of the Year Nominees
Most decent hardtails I've seen lately are not good value at all compared to the nominated bikes though. Cheaper =/= good value. Although of course I understand if someone has a hard budget cap where fs isn't an option, then it is what it is.
