*Finishes article* That was interesting, positive and beneficial to the wider mountain biking community. I am, however, disappointed that the only perky nipples pictured are on a man.

jrocksdh (Apr 19, 2015 at 20:05)

by looks of the talent, there must have been a surf contest or country music concert nearby.

RedBurn (Apr 19, 2015 at 10:28)

blackthorne (Apr 19, 2015 at 10:53)

Great coverage! The specialized ruze is one of the best looking hardtails I've ever seen, I wish it came in a men's version!

It does...It's called the fuse

Simply the best article in this year's Otter coverage. Oh and looks like turquoise is this mtb color of the year.

Emily Batty. Wow, Just Wow. She's the Danica of the MTB world!

digitalsoul (Apr 21, 2015 at 11:09)

Emily is actually attractive though, Danica is a mediocre looking girl that gets attention simply for being a girl in her sport.

Way to go Bailey!
