Video: Off the Beaten Path - Extended Trailer
I saw very little in that video that a regular mountain bike wouldn't do better. I'll grab my board for snow and my beach towel for sand.

6 Ideas for a Better Winter
Cross country skiing, road biking, weight lifting, running, snowshoeing, mountaineering. Spend your turbo trainer money on warm gear and get outside for aerobic conditioning work. For strength hit the gym then taper off as weather improves and miles increase. Hit the free weights(barbell, dumbbells, kettle bells) and body weight movements. Find a Crossfit gym that has open gym time and use their gear. I work out at one, but don't take their classes, and it costs me a whole lot less money and I can focus on cycling oriented movements and core strength. Machines are a waste of time. Yoga is only minimally as effective as these other activities

Agreed, weight lifting is essential. I've done a lot of weight training and yoga and see much more benefit from lifting. Weight training done wrong is counterproductive so do it right! And yoga is affordable?

Transition Bandit 26 Inch Review
Pinkbike, please do a write-up on the various suspension designs. What exactly makes a true 4-bar suspension better, or different, than faux bar. Let's broach this subject once and for all. Which is inherently better? Why the faux-bar? Why the Horst Link?
Faux-bars seem really dated when you look at VPP, DW, Maestro, Horst, etc. What gives?

Dad should of chilled behind him for a few sections.
I'm a dad and my kids are always the most stoked on what they think they did themselves.

Red Bull Rampage - The 2012 FMB World Tour grand finale!
Worst trophy I've ever seen. Camelback has no sense of style. Just look at their name. Camelback. Who names a company Camelback?
