Steve Peat & Josh Bender Inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame
I am confused...Bender could never "stick" anything as you put it. Haven't you watched any of the New World Disorder videos? What a dishonor to the other mountain bikers that are in the hall of fame to have Bender inducted. No skill, just a no-fear suicidal behavior on a mountain bike. No I haven't dropped off a 60 foot cliff, but the stuff that I do ride I successfully pull off more often than not, same as most other riders (excluding Bender). If anyone doubts me still, watch him do the cliff huck over the Marzocchi truck and crash hard, then Wade Simmons hucks the SAME cliff in the same spot with only 7" of travel and doesn't even bottom out his suspension he lands so smoothly. That is the difference between skill vs. no-skill.

Kris Foster Freeriding a Moto is Seriously Rowdy
I fully agree. Since when did PinkBike become a motocross site. This had absolutely nothing to do what-so-ever with mountain biking. I am not hacking on the riders skill in this video, I am only saying this is not and should not be the place for that. MTB only.

Tech Randoms - Leogang DH World Cup
As soon as DH bikes are being fitted with suspension lock-out capability that should be a VERY clear sign to the UCI that the track is pathetic. The only thing challenging about this track is purely the speed that they will go, there is not much to actually challenge and reveal true skill.

Claudio's Course Preview - Leogang DH World Cup 2017
Pathetic track, when you could ride the entire track on a cross country bike (all be it not quite as fast) it isn't downhill racing. As soon I as I saw most of the race bikes being fitted with lock-out for the suspension I knew it was going to be a crappy bike park track yet again. Most people I know don't watch DH racing to see cyclists race down a track that people would drive their Jeep's on for fun! That course wouldn't even be a challenge on my ATV!

Final Results - Lourdes DH World Cup 2017
Here we are in 2017 and RedBull still can't figure out how to run a simple live stream. Pathetic that they have such a monopoly on these kinds of sports / races, equally as pathetic is that they stream it at 720P. Come on RedBull everyone else is 1080P and several other streaming providers offer 4K. Someone better needs to come along and take over from this pathetic RedBull.

Video: Don't Let the Slop Stop You
Agree, all driving like that does is ensure our future land access is more and more difficult to maintain / obtain. No land owner wants the damage let alone the potential liability of some dummy driving like that getting killed / injured!

Video: This is What Winning Speed Looks Like
Congrats to Rachel! Well won season for her!
I do have to make a comment about these new smaller GoPro's as the video quality is garbage. I have an old cheapo Walmart point and shoot that takes better video! Watching other video's on Pinkbike that are filmed with actual GoPro's you are able to see what the terrain is like. With this video the image is heavily washed out and so low quality (I watched this on the 1080p setting) it is impossible to even see the rocks and roots on the trail. Glad for this kind of footage, but please switch back to using the good GoPro's. And GoPro, I hope you are reading this as some serious improvements are needed for this new little black box of junk. I do have a Hero 4 black and it is an amazing camera, so I do have something to compare against.
