Assholes that probably should have had their own land years ago. They could be biking fiends by now...

I can't wait until the pharmaceutical industry creates a pill that enables the average schlub to flip and whip like that. Whenever you're ready Pfizer.

And Look Pa, no Vans!

Haha do you use it? I'll just sit and hope that you got the bottom of the pile.

Cheers mate. Like I said, I haven't really been too worried about it outside of that initial "hey I won something" moment.

Good luck to the winner, I hope you actually get the bag (from EVOC I mean, all PinkBike can do is pass on details I suppose). I received an email on the 24/05 saying I'd been chosen and have seen neither hide nor hair of it. Still, I didn't really expect anything at the time of commenting so if it never arrives I won't exactly have lost anything aside from a bit of enthusiasm.

Too right. Love the little trials hop towards the end too!

Standards limit progress only so long as they're accepted as being the best possible outcome without question, and if no one is willing to deviate from them for fear of pumping capital into a dead end market. A diversity of manufacturer-unique styles, from a consumer point of view, is just as limiting. You're paying a premium price because you can only purchase it from a single source, as opposed to a 'race to the bottom' to see who can produce the best gear for the cheapest price. I'm not saying a manufacturer should conform to a standard if they think that they can provide a superior product by not doing so, but saying "standards are an obstacle" is a pretty blanket statement. You only have to look at 15mm axles; every company is going to try and convince you that they've found the perfect balance between weight and strength with their fantabulous non-standard measurement, when all they've done is piss a lot of people off.

Girls/Boys, you've totally drifted from the point that 'Apparently Rachel likes it hard and rough'. I've yet to see any comment that categorically disputes this statement (as crude as it might be).

I'm pretty sure that atypically 'aussie' commentator is Mike Tomalaris (who is a road cycling/general sports commentator on our current SBS channel)
