This is enforced in Sweden. To not get banned, racers often to participate under false names. F.ex "Superman"... :)

Drammen kicks my ass every single time. Eeeeevery single tiiiime. And I always want to go back.

Randybadger: Norwegians are generally great at speaking English. No need to worry. The swedes that work in ALL norwegian stores/restaurants/supermarkets et.c. will also be able to speak english :) And by the way.. Three things you might want to remember, just so you don't get all shocked when you first arrive... 1. In Norway, you can't buy beer at the grocery stores after 8 o'clock in the evening (weekdays. On weekends it's 6 o'clock!!). 2. A regular (non-fancy) pizza will cost you an arm and a leg. Or perhaps two 6-packs of beer, after 8 o'clock in the evening... 3. Watch out for sheep. In the landings of big jumps. Big jumps. Like, 15-meter-WC-step-down-jumps.. Finally. Hafjell is f*ing kick ass. Most flowy and fun place I've ever ridden. Cheers! /Swede.

ORLY? Specialized must have payed a LOT since this deal was already signed and sealed.

So much clean stuff being pulled right there. Thomas has a great style, kind of reminds me of Mr. Martin Söderström, but he's no copy of "the machine" :) GOGOGENON

BOOMSHACKALACK JON ATTACK. 2.22. Huck to flat. To drift. Awsome.

"one of only two companies we can think of who offer a race-ready endure bike" Wait. WHAT? Nice article and all, but that's bull to make Commencal look better in this article. First of all, it depends on what type of bike you're looking for to race endure events and secondly where you're going to race. Right now, endure race organizers are trying to find out what sticks and what doesn't. Races (that don't just happen in france/alp d' Huez as many people seem to believe) come in various sizes and shapes. And so does the bikes that you race the events with. To name a few, as I consider, race ready enduro bikes: Specialized Stumpy EVO/Enduro, Merida One-Sixty, Santa Cruz Nomad /Nomad Carbon, Trek Slash/whatnot, et.c. et.c. Enduro racing is awesome, and I really like the look of Commencals new bikes, but they aren't the "one of only two" companies to make kick ass endure bikes.

Hm. Wasn't that way all the locals said after the damage inc. video came out?
