50's middle-age guy
"What's with this new Elvis guy, kids these days listen to crap music!"

60's middle-age guy
"These beatle's hippies should just give up, they're too out there"

70's middle-age guy
"Who the hell is ever going to buy those pants with the flared bottoms!?"

80's middle-age guy
"Rap music? I call it crap music! Nobody is going to listen to this stuff in the future"

90's middle-age guy
"Kids these days and this stupid internet thing, that'll never catch on!"

Fashion is fashion, independent of what the aging population thinks about it Wink

 I like how you weren't able to find anything good to say about fashion from the 90's so you used the internet. haha. Overalls anyone?

 "The Banger" @ the end followed by the "nailed it bro." Clockwork.

 Has DB released that prototype DH bike YET? It has been years in the making. What is up with that?
  • 4 0
 It's been ridden everywhere by pros. And the first time we saw it was in April 2011 - three years. The Ripley only took two, and it started out as an XC bike. If this prototype has been ready for pro circuit use for this long, it's ready for us. Even if we we've been seeing advanced aluminum prototypes of a carbon version (and that's not happening), it should be done by now.

Looks solid, though. I guess the release will be all the sweeter for it.

 Think how long it took for rockshox to release blackbox stanchions to us
  • 4 0
 They didn't, though; the black stanchion coatings on all the new suspension components are only cosmetic. They're a black hard anodized coating, as opposed to the DLC Black Gold coating that their World Cup racers had a while back on BoXXers. That coating, while insanely slippery, was unfortunately deemed too expensive for mass production.

On a related line of thought, though, I love that the UCI doesn't put restrictions on components or frames for MTB like they do for road. In road racing, everything has to be available to consumers, or pre-production, in order to be raced - which means components can't really be experimented with and race-tested like they can for mountain.

 I was going to say! The high five at the end, classic Led Zeppelin sounding music, it meets a lot of the criteria.

 This was a pretty poor representation of what Bend has to offer, in my opinion. Poor Title....

 Loved to see the mountain biking in Bend (arguably the best town in Oregon)

 What trail is he riding at the end? I ride in Bend a half dozen times a year and I've seen that trail in several edits, but I have no clue where it's at.
  • 1 0
 It sort of looks like Horse Ridge just based on the views. The flat desert in the background looks like the badlands. I've ridden Horse Ridge a bunch of times though and never been down that trail so I could be wrong.

 towards the end of the video you can see a couple of distinguishing features far out in the background...if this trail is anywhere near Bend you should be able to track it down...also it never hurts to PM someone for directions/permission, it may be on private property??

 Bend is a great town, but it has a lot of competition in Oregon. Depending on the time of year it's always top 3 in my book.

EDIT: That trail, or one that looks just like it does show up in a lot of videos. I've asked around and never found it, though my friends in Bend are all XC racer types.

 Pretty sure it's Cline Butte, which is just outside of Tumalo, which is just outside of Bend. Some pretty cool trails out there. Last time I rode there (few years ago) there was still vehicle access to the top.

 Every few months a video from Bend pops up and it makes me miss living there.
