Plowing Ashes with James Doerfling - Video

I think the stutter video has a lot of potential but framing would be the thing that takes it to the next level. Keeping the framing the same on a series of photo's so that the eyes don't have to adjust each time would be a huge improvement. I love action sports photos where the rider is shown multiple times in the same frame as they progress through a move. Seen a lot in snowboard, ski and skateboard shots. If this was how it was done i would have preferred the stutter but as it is the flow movie is just so much easier to view and more natural feeling. my two cents

Specialized Air Tool Blast Tubeless Tire Setter - Review

If you are in Canada MEC carries a combined pump and air chamber that is $100. Made by a company called filzer. I've had mine for a year or so and its been great.I have no idea why specialized would not combine a pump with it? i don't think it can be a patent thing because there are other pumps out there doing the same thing as the bontrager pump.

Crankbrothers Highline Dropper Seatpost - First Ride

I can recommend the contact switch. Retail on the contact switch is $300 which i bet is less than this post will be. I have the original 100mm contact switch and it has been very reliable for 2 years. I recently upgraded to the 2016 version with 150mm drop.

Ridden And Rated - Six Dropper Posts

I'll put in a vote for the contact switch too. I have had one for two seasons and it still works flawlessly. It is the only post I know of that can be installed internal or external cable routing and It's very easy to service too if needed. I have put my 100mm on my fat bike and have just bought the 2016 150mm version for my trail bike.
