Hey ya'll this might be a dumb question, but how do I post/send a crash clip to the Pinkbike moderators? It's a pretty good one, and I think it could to well in Fails of the Month.
But how should I go about posting it?
Thanks for the help! Be sure to look for my clip if it makes the final cut this month!

Upload the video to your profile, then create a "Blog" containing said video and once you've made a blog, the option is there to submit the blog to the "mods" At least that's how a video of mine made it to the homepage. Just label it as a fail of the month submission.

Go to the last months fail of the month, does it not say at the bottom how to submit clips?

Hi guys.

What do you think is the best setup for steep rockgardens and slower steep technical parts with tight turns, rocks, roots, steps etc? Would a stiffer setup help? Should the rebound be faster or slower?

stiffer suspension and slower rebound will track the ground better, and feel more composed and planted.

Stiffer equals tracks better? Since when?
Slower rebound yes, stiffer no.
More compression damping yes, stiffer spring no.

if you slow down rebound with an already soft spring, it will ride way lower in its travel and bottom out, because the shock doesn't have time to extent, so it packs up. So if your significantly slowing down rebound, slighttly stiffer is good. And keeps around the same ride height

Also, when bombing fast through chunk, stiffer shock allows you to skip over the rocks easier without getting sucked in

Thank you for the feedback guys. I am actually in a dilemma because softer and faster gives me a more supple ride but stiffer and slower maintains the bike geometry and gives me better control I think. The problem is that we have mixed trails with a little bit of everything so I am trying to find the middle solution between the above options.

Lsc and hsc adjustments are all you need to be playing with realistically

that's not true at all. Realistically, the average rider won't feel the difference in a few clicks of hs/ls. And if you rebound and spring is off, no amount of compression will help

Hi can anyone help with some measurements please? Basically it's the correct distances on my Boxxer crowns, firstly between headset and top crown, and between top and bottom crown. I ride a 2014 Carbon Specialized Demo. Many thanks.
