Am I the only one who isn't really interested in anything like this anymore? There seems to be hundreds of these new movies/videos coming out every month showing exactly the same kind of riding. Yes its cool, these riders have endless talent on tap and they do crazy shit. But I'm burnt out on seeing so many of the same looking videos. this is my opinion so take your hate elsewhere or shove it.

It's cool as it's similar to some motorsports but It's beyond pointless for us normal riders at the price tag it'll sell at (££££) It might make sense to pro riders, having their damping adjust to the terrain in milliseconds but I would never ever come to the full potential of this system. For me, set and forget. Maybe fiddle around with compression here and there but that's it. it's cool, but more pointless then 27.5+ wheel sizes.

Don't need it. I have common sense and pretty decent survival skills. I can start a fire with sticks. All you really need is fire and water. As for being prepared, being in the scouts has taught me all about that.I never venture out on a ride, hike without proper gear. (Food, water, first aid kit, waterproof jacket, extra layer etc. If i'm going into a national park miles away from any roads but only small foot paths, I'll take a paper map, compass and a spare battery for my phone. With all that i'm basically prepared for anything other than extreme injury.

This is how I look when I ride.. In my head, obviously.. Wish I could be that pinned! Phil makes the guys on downhill bikes in some edits that aren't from the UK look lame! UK riders are the best in the world because of the amazing network of trails around the UK. Oh, and you learn to ride in the wet.

There's a good amount of line choice and gaps you could do.

Gee would of smashed qualifying if he didn't crash, he was 4 seconds up at split 1!
