Social Saturday, Attempt Number 2
We delve into the social media accounts from some of mountain biking's biggest names to see how they're kicking off the 2018 season.
Note: we had issues with some embeds not loading properly. Is it working for you as of Saturday February 10th?
Brendan Fairclough blowing up turns the only way he knows how in South Africa.
Cam Zink's been building this monster jump. He's hit it on the moto, now he's just got to send it on the mountain bike!
Gee Atherton is out training in California – oh, and nearly running down someone walking up the trail. Gee's Vulcan-like skills meant that he managed to avoid a collision though!
Bernard Kerr and Wyn Masters are still working out just how much they love their back wheels.
Is Danny Hart lost or is he just looking for that secret place some call 'shred'?
Yoann Barelli doing weight training with daughter Anna in Hawaii before the start of the EWS season.
Cecile Ravanel is taking after the 50to01 Crew and brushing up on her jibbing skills! Maybe this will be the key to success when she tries to take on the World Cup downhill series in 2018.
Loris Vergier is taking training to the next level and working out exactly where he can save some time – maybe it's in the turns...
Laurie Greenland and Tahnee Seagrave have been using the downtime to get some sun and air in New Zealand at McGazz Fest and La Poma in Spain.
Brandon Semenuk's 'warming up' is still miles better and more impressive than anyone else on a bike.
Hannah Barnes has been enjoying some snow-free trails at home.
Olly Wilkins has got to be one of the most stylish riders out there. Will he racing this year? Either way, we want to see more of him.
After Vincent Tupin's debut Rampage appearance in 2017, you've got to wonder how he trains and who he rides with to get the skills for one of the biggest mountain bike events of the year. Well, here's the answer...
Woman's XC World Champion Jolanda Neff suffered some pretty horrendous injuries in a crash at a recent cyclocross race and will not be able to race at the first XC MTB World Cup of the season. Heal up soon Jolanda!

Nicholi Rogatkin has been getting some serious airtime in South Africa with the DarkFEST crew. And, Veronique Sandler's also been getting some airtime of her own whilst brushing up on her no hander skills.
Carson Storch stomps a massive 720 stepup at DarkFEST and Transition Bikes Muc-Off team look like they've been busy making an 80's music video!

Or at least look at the comments.
VitalMTB started adding suspension kinematic analysis information to their bike reviews, a few months later Pinkbike followed suit.
VitalMTB took an idea from one of it's sister websites, VitalMX, and started posting "Social Scoops" and now, a few months later, Pinkbike is doing the same.
When will Pinkbike start doing a bi-weekly industry insider podcast, test sessions, and create a gear-to-your-house subscription service?
They claim to be starting an 'internal' investigation into it.
Hopefully they do something about this, as it takes a size XXXL a*shole to not only run over a little kid(from making a mistake that new fricken riders learn to avoid no less), but to then think your move was so cool, you gotta post it on the internet to your minions
And on a little kid too.
The kid was on the right(his) side of the trail too-where he should have been, and you couldn't help but target fixate yourself into running over him.
If that'd been my kid and I was behind him, you would be spending the upcoming WC season in the bleachers.
Please take your douche-bagery back to England, and leave our trails here in California to people who can avoid running over our kids
