Video: Rebuilding Forgotten Timber Trails in Nesbyen, Norway With Manon Carpenter
Are you talking about the stuff in the video or in Spain? Suspect you mean in Spain, but the ones in the video will be pretty smooth and toboggan-like as there were used for moving timber (which does move well over drops)...so likely to clear the trail and get riding it to see how it runs.

Shimano Files Patent Detailing Machine Learning for Automatic Suspension Control
Haven't read all the comments, but is anyone else curious to see how the suspension fork is going to work? Those stanchions won't fit in the reducing space as the fork compresses (or doesn't!)...

Video: What's the Real Difference of Lumen Output on the Trail?
@laksboy: hadn't read your reply but I've tried to say the same as you but not so well.

Video: What's the Real Difference of Lumen Output on the Trail?
Personally, absolutely not...a helmet light in rain (or mist or snow) is terrible as it illuminates the water vapour/drops right in front of your eyes...kind of.like.being in the Millennium Falcon as it jumps to light speed. You then don't see any detail of the trail and the light becomes useless.

Video: What's the Real Difference of Lumen Output on the Trail?
Each to their own, but that 12000 lumen output just seemed to flare everything so you couldn't actually see anything, the edges were much clearer than the trail the light was focused on - really not useful.
The 2500 lumen out suffered from this but not so much, but I'm still thinking over 1600 and it is just wasting the light output as it flares and you then don't see any detail.
I'd much rather have a lower output but a far longer run time.
I suspect many people will disagree, but that is fine...

Share Your Thoughts on Nature & Environmental Action in the UK Mountain Biking Community
I don't think it is pointless, but the answers here and on a UK MTB website's forum, it is very clear that the people who do seem to be bothered about this are in a small minority. This is the problem - MTBers are particularly lazy when it comes to trying to organise something for the greater good - we don't seem to be to bad if we are organising something for ourself, but for the wider MTB group - not enough people are willing to get involved and help drive change and improvement.
SOAC is absolutely brilliant, but it doesn't help develop trails if you are somewhere that has none (or what is available are farm tracks/fireroads for a good few miles - 15+ - to get to a bit of preferred riding) - the answer for that seems to be just jump in a car and drive elsewhere to go ride rather than getting a bit organised and trying to push for development locally.
Tourism seems to be based on how long a person has to travel to get to a destination - any travel of up to 1 hour and the person is considered 'local', so that needs factored in if you are looking to put a sales pitch together - anyone up to 1 hour is a 'local' and would therefore benefit from Health and Wellbeing rather than tourism potential.

Team Registration Fees to Increase for 2023 World Cup Racing
@fphayton: those prices aren't entry level...you aren't really looking around beyond premium brands or your idea of entry needs readjusted.
