I was always tempted by that line until I read about that local who paralised himself hanging up the back wheel on it (then, I think I'm right in saying, tried to sue Vail as a result)

@hughlunnon: that is too horrible to think about, hanging up on the edge. hope that guy ended up with some decently livable outcome

Can't wait til this cuts off right before the jump lands with a link to the full video behind a paywall like an xvideos preview.

No, pinkbike would never try to monetize user generated content, just look at trailforks, oh wait.....

@thegoodflow: Wow, it took until the 5th post to complain about a paywall. The comment section is slipping.

Friday: I'm sure smart for knowing my skill level!
Saturday: Actually I just suck.

@Carlharl - don’t worry, the podcast will be back next week. Levy and Brian were busy with Field Test stuff.

Should have saved a couple of these for Sunday saves.

I feel a couple of the Friday fails were borderline saves too.

Perfect finish. Even squeezed in between the ads. Gotta go ride now - turn my dreams into mediocrity.

@pink505’s insightful comment was “hidden” (need to stop oppressing speech).

“Outside of Friday fails I' just haven't gotten into Saturday sends... too many are just folks doing the jumps at bike parks...is it really a send when the jump was purpose built to do the exact thing and you land it on the purpose built landing.... Do a trick, carry the landing to flat, jump off something selfbuilt/sketchy otherwise I only want to see the fails or the saves. The grumpy old man in me always asks does their health insurance adjuster know they do this...”

I get what you’re saying here… but the other side of it is that “real” user generated content from local trails isnt available in significant volume. There are some mixed into Saturday Sends and I do believe that is the core purpose, but to make a full video each week, they gotta throw in the pros, semi-pros, and bike park jumps.

Agreed, I’m less interested in no hands, backflips, and roller coaster-esk bike parks.

The solution would be to pull out those phones on local trail sends…

From what I can see, that comment was only "hidden" by being downvoted to oblivion, presumably because other users disliked the comment.

Baller7756 (Jul 18, 2021 at 11:02)

@barp: “only hidden”… the point of free speech is so unpopular, hard to hear, and disagreeable speech is not suppressed.

@Baller7756: So you think there should be upvotes but not downvotes? Or no buttons at all?

@barp: The up/down votes can stay. That offers individuals a chance to weigh in without an actual reply. What needs to stop is any form of speech suppression… in this case “hiding” comments.

Every voice should have an equal opportunity to be heard. It’s a fundamental right in our country that the government can’t suppress speech, but it seems many online public forums (which are the modern day town squares) want to limit, suppress, hide, block points of view that challenge the status quo.
