Interview: Vaea Verbeeck on Women Competing at Red Bull Rampage

@on-the-move: the idea that women are princesses and shouldn't get dirty or hurt seems quite sexist. Women should have as many opportunities as men to break bones.

Interview: Vaea Verbeeck on Women Competing at Red Bull Rampage

@endoguru: so you are agreeing with my comment. Men's sports are far more marketable than women's sports. We disagree in that women's sports are not completely unmarketable. There IS a market for women's sports and advertisers want their name on it, however small that market is. Believe it or not but women, aka 50 percent of the population are probably interested in seeing women do bad ass things.

Interview: Vaea Verbeeck on Women Competing at Red Bull Rampage

I think you are missing the point of women's athletic competition in a whole. There are rare sports where women can compete with men on a direct side by side basis. You simply want to see the best human possible. Women's sports marketable because someone wants to see the best woman possible. It's obviously not as marketable (WNBA for example) but it IS a marketable concept.

Some trail maintenance might help. Hopefully they learn this before they loose business to Highland. Wait... if you are coming to Vermont, Killington is awesome. Don't bother finding the single track.

Review: TranzX EDP01 Wireless Electronic Dropper Post

I have arthritis in my thumb and sometimes the cable actuation hurts my thumb. I'm guessing this would help. Has anyone else experienced pain in their fingers/thumbs and found electric makes a difference?

@Ginsu2000: So they could have completed more laps but never got the chance. What is the minimum requirements to enter a WC race? Could I pony up the entry fee and enter?

I find it very interesting that at every race there are people being 5 and 6 laps down on an 8 lap race. How is that possible???

Elastomers Are Back? SRAM Patents 'ButterCups For Shocks'

@ReformedRoadie: they would probably work great but no one would admit it because they don't look like a Minion clone. Bring back the Velociraptors back too.
