Pinkbike Poll: What Protective Apparel You Typically Ride With?
Gloves? Please. While everyone else is busy comparing $80 sweat mittens with touchscreen fingertips and laser-cut ventilation, I’m over here grabbing a handful of dirt like a caveman and achieving peak grip through sheer earth magic. It’s not just a ritual — it’s performance art.

Pinkbike Poll: How Well Can You Wheelie? How About Manual?
Took me a semester on uni campus in France to learn the manual. Everyday after classes I took the dirtbike for a spin. They had like super long paved 1km decline with a slight gradient, which was perfect for practice.
Even though I am now in my mid 30's. I can still use the technique for instance when you go down Super Morzine to Morzine on the road. 400 meter + manuals are the deal. (Still can't figure out why there aren't any trails back to morzine city centre) but anyway, its a cool move, happy to be so fortunate to have had the time to train it.

Nina Hoffmann May Not Start at Leogang World Cup After Dislocating Elbow
I dislocated my elbow by coming in way too hot into a dusty corner after a boner-log drop. The front wheel washed out, and I fell with all my body weight on my extended arm. When I came to senses, my left arm was doing its own thing, definitely not where it should be. In a total panic, I screamed some cuss words and yanked on my forearm twice to sucessfully pop it back into place. Not my best moment, but definitely memorable!

Sender Ramps Announces New Ramps, A Cycling Balance Board, & More
I had a sender ramp but sold it. I honestly admit that I didn't really progress well with it. I think you would be better off buying a dirt bike while practicing manuals on slightly declined terrain. In case you don’t want to buy another bike, just do it on the bike you already call your own. Learning the manual in action is much more effective.

props to the steezy guy with the huge freakin backpack at min 1:50. The dude probably had to catch a flight outta Whis and had to take all his belongings with him!

Video: SRAM's Wireless Eagle AXS Drivetrain Explained
@rockchomper: Same story here. I had two XO1 derailleurs on both of my bikes. I crashed both and I was literally tearing up because it was 180eur for each derailleur. I replaced them with the GX derailleurs (70eur), which have an awesome price-performance ratio.
When there is one thing I learned in gravity over the years, is that some parts of the drivetrain have to come by cheap especially when they are super exposed like derailleurs. Cranks and cassettes are a different story. > Or there should be more spare parts available to fix the derailleurs once you have crashed. Like when the cage is bent etc. But not receiving that option as a customer, I guess that's planned obsolescence in a certain way.
