@Lotusoperandi: Why four bikes a year?! Trying to find the mythical perfect beast?

Just picked up a 2019 PBJ. Sick bike. Dirt jump has been flying under the radar for the last few years during the whole trail bike and enduro trend, but I think it's a part of MTB we need to keep alive and healthy. So rad.

@TransitionBikeCompany: I for one appreciate it. Showed it to the wife and kids, we all ride pumptrack/DJ together. (we can pretend we look like these guys while we ride!)

I here ya, but these online stores keep Pinkbike afloat. All that other stuff we like to read and watch? Somebody has to pay for it. Don't see many brick and mortars are advertising on PB.

By all standards such an incredible event. Creativity, athleticism, hard work, courage, heartbreak, and triumph... yet always followed by a tidal wave of complaints from the community. I sure wish we could get it sorted. My vote would be to go rider judged with multiple awards and an overall winner. Best team, Gnarliest line, biggest hit, best trick, fastest, best style, overall best run. Would that ruin Redbull’s bottom line? Part of the problem is the tug of war between the guys who tend toward lighter lines with bigger tricks and the guys who do bigger lines with lighter tricks. It’s really hard to judge them the same. You could say that tricks have no value, but how could you remove that progression from the equation? Also, it is funny all the talk about getting rid of the wood and the “slopestyle” but they manicured the heck out of that mountain. Coming from a guy who only rides the jump trails when I go to whistler, even I thought it was surprisingly buff given all the talk of “returning to the roots.” Like a Fest-style build on really steep terrain.

Classic. A professional athlete whose “chillin” heart rate is 160? He’d better get to a cardiologist.

1. These guys are amazing. Anyone who has spent a day using a shovel and a pick knows how hard that is on your body. To do that for days in a row and then feel physically and mentally confident enough to hit this stuff... it’s impressive. True artists and athletes. 2. So excited to see these lines. Jordie’s looks unique. How will that canyon gap go for Brenden? It looks like the lip could just break off at any moment. What does Semenuk have up his sleeve? In typical fashion there’s not a glimpse or a comment out there. It’s clear he likes to keep to himself; does he ask the media to steer clear? 3. Utah is rad.

You left out the part about the short offset fork, which was the key to Levy’s statement.
