Video: Danny MacAskill Explores Exposed Ridgelines in Norway

That was awesome! Some of the ridge sections, I’d want to be clipped in if I were rock climbing.

Video: One Bike, Two Races - Matthew Fairbrother's First Downieville Classic

I've never raced Downieville ... but to me, this is enduro. Combines XC and downhill. What the hell do I know ... but I feel that if UCI enduro followed this format, it would be more successful. On the flip side, as you noted, it is super risky. It seems I read about more serious injuries in XC and road biking than in downhill. With the prevalence of e-bikes ... uphill racing is doomed because fewer and fewer riders are interested in racing under their own power up and down (and racing uphill on e-bikes is just dumb). Meaning there just isn't interest from bike buyers and bike sellers.

Pinkbike Poll: What Would You Change About the Mountain Bike Scene Where You Live?

e-bikers influence the trails in their favor - to be black downhill focused. They turn the trails into a lift assisted bike park. I like to ride actual trails either traversing or climbing and good technical red trails on the way down. Because I enjoy pedaling the same bike up and riding it down. This is getting less common.

I’d rather walk. And I hate walking.

First Ride: Atherton A.150 M - Titanium Lugs, Carbon Tubes, & 22 Sizes

@jimbob79: my A.130 frame with shock, size 21 ... so the longest reach they make ... weighs 3866g. My experience is that tires make a way bigger difference than weight for climbing. On rooty climbs, my A.130 climbs better / smoother / faster / less energy wasted than my Trek Fuel EX.

First Ride: Atherton A.150 M - Titanium Lugs, Carbon Tubes, & 22 Sizes

@hllclmbr: I'm an old XC racer, not pro!, and run my A.130 size 21 with zero spacers under the stem. My saddle to handlebar drop is ~60mm. I ride Alpine trails, but I'm not that interested in the really steep downhill stuff. Getting my hands and upper body low is just how I ride. I sympathize with any frame designer settling on geometry offerings. With people like me on one end and the trend to harley davidson chopper bars on the other end of the spectrum, it's impossible to satisfy everyone.
