Don’t be such a hater Jake.
2-1/4 years from now when I turn 50 I’m going to shuttle the $hit out of all the DH areas on my 29er, 180/170mm E-Free bike.
I’m trade marking E-Free right now for E-bikes over 170mm of travel rocking Fox 38 forks.
(Or new RockShox Totem’s cuz they won’t just let Fox have those sales.)
RockShox: Fox 38 you say?
Rockshox: Hold my beer.
RockShox: Introducing the new Boost Totem!

Canadians, this is the funniest shit I've seen for a while. I now need to watch the entire show, from the beginning.


Aside from the beachcombers, it could very well be Canada's best foray into televised entertainment.

(Although SCTV introduced the world to more amazing comedians than just about any show ever. )

It’s a documentary, not a comedy. That’s life in rural Ontario.

I want to be there. It's spread like wildfire, i've shared a couple of vids and now loads of guys in my unit are watching it on YT!

Canadian comedians have been making the masses laugh for decades. Don’t take my word for it, just google all time Canadian comedians. There’s a lot of damn funny people from up here.

BBLB on the slippery path to playing Bingo five nights a week...

1. moves to the sealevel land of no hills
2. a bike ride is now a paved path beside the beach wearing a banana hammock, shaved chest extra moisturized and glistening in the setting Florida sun.
3. buys e-shifty gizmo for full squish bike to enhance experience on previously mentioned paved path
4. e-shifty is so nifty he decides that an e-urban-upright-cruiser-bike is where it's at for sunset paved path pursuits
5. Florida humidity is relentless... BBLB starts feeling vertigo in the heat... trades in e-bike for an e-mobility aid power scooter to peruse the isles of WalMart without fear of falling over
6. Bingo Nights are Alright!
When in Rome...

Letterkenny is f*cking awesome. Berta beef.

Letterkenny wow I think I have watched 4 or 5 seasons now and some of it is so funny and some I will not be able to explain to an American and a British as they had an episode where the main characters meet their doppleganger from Quebec and it is so funny.

The Canada goose and golf course episode was one of my favourites

Aye, some stuff has gone over my head, but on the whole, f*cking funny.

AXS is cool to me because it’s actually different, for more money. Not like pay more, get a marginal and incremental weight savings. More like pay more, get something that’s a technological leap over the cheaper stuff.
It really is a significant improvement. I've ridden X01 and XX1 mechanical and I honestly wouldn't spend the money over GX for mechanical. I got the AXS for less than mechanical would've cost me and it's an immediately noticeable improvement. Push the button, instant shift. I remember Levy or somebody did a review talking about how you don't realize it but you adapt to pushing a little bit past the click on mechanical and holding it a second to get it to shift but you do it subconsciously without thinking about it and it's really true, just tapping the button riding around the block and having it instantly responded with no hesitation or extra lever throw is something you don't think you'll really notice that becomes immediately obvious as soon as you're not dealing with it anymore.

Highly recommend if you score a deal or wanna throw the money at it.


I’m absolutely in love with my AXS stuff. So impressed with its feel.

And no more cables!

There are some many gems in that series, it's hard to describe people who haven't watched it.
