coz it sounds like he's being an arse. true as it maybe ...i have got his props back to zero, I'm pretty sure wales has as many places to ride as Scotland. and whilst we do have 2 lift access trails the weather can spoil that more often than not, especially due to excess wind. having ridden in wales, its pretty good and trail centrewise its on a par with scotland. as for secret local stuff i have no idea....so no point commenting on whether or not its better than scotland

wow, just got several weeks worth of pod worthy screensavers. mucho gracias pinkbike !!!!!!!!! and to you to Christoph Breiner :)

i see you've been getting your other self regulated pinkbike pseudonyms to give your own self props. you toooo cooool bro!!!. you seem to have an issue with people talking about money judging by your some of your other bitter negative comments. Thankfully I know Ireland's a great country with great people..... and its not full of saddo's hating on everyone elses success such as your miserable self. ......... take a good look at yerself ...and i don't mean on the fantasy world that is pinkbike. you must lead a pretty dour existence to be like this on a forum with a computer screen to protect you. try being happy for ten minutes you might like it

LOL... just clicked on your profile....you really are the bitter twisted no hoper without friends, otherwise known as a 13 year old troll

get a grip ya Oirish ding!!. all the trails here are covered in 6inch of snow, its blowing a hooly. and i been spending most free time building new and fixing old trails, removing blown trees, and making new ladder bridges......you may drive a ferrari, but my superfukked van could outpace you on any pothole filled forestry road....whilst i'm wanking about my collection of useless tyres

:) might as well, nothing else to do today other than look at the weather :(

lol, his face says it all

you must ride nice dry tacky trails, the lobo is awful in natural terrain...i.e roots, loam, mud, loose rock, or moist. have you tried the sturdy or the gato 2.3, the gato will carry the speed of the lobo but grip way better, the sturdy will get you through wet+ loose days damn well. and rolls really well for the size of the knobs

yup....i have about £2000 worth of product prototypes in my garage...unfortunately i definitely don't heart those ones, either way too flimsy, or knobs too hard and can't grip if there's even a hint of a cloud, or i have unusable sizes like 1.9"...WTF its an mtb not a cyclocross bike!!! lol

thats a complicated one me thinks, as you are both right. As a whole, prior to canyon / YT industries / nuke proof, buying a decent bike meant getting ripped off in terms of material gain. CRC and the likes are definitely going to change the way the market works. as for innovation....other than material choice and drive system, i personally don't think there is going to be much gain anymore. but the way the market works will always mean new and different stuff coming out from Taiwan to keep consumerism up...i mean for gods sake how much better can toothpaste or bleach get since 1950....TV adverts would have you believe every year has seen an evolution with no bounds. I think it will come and go in waves of years.....for a while we will be buying cheap well priced well working bikes, then folk will start to want something different and unique and the likes of intense and yeti etc will become popular and on goes the cycle....pardon the pun........it will be interesting to see how the newer fork companies deal with the hugely overpriced (but lovely working) big 3
