Josh Bryceland Takes On Land Management Role, Asks Riders to Refrain From Reckless Building
I get what he's trying to do but I also see both sides, at least with the pirate trails. MTB was originally a counter culture run by drunkin pirates who'd sleep with your mama if you left the door unlocked. Now it seems to be populated with a lot of pencil pushers with no lead in their pencil. Personally, I will be running my pirate flag until they put me in the ground.

Round Up: Sustainable e-MTB Batteries, Cleaning 10,000 Pieces of Trash from Trails and More Green Initiatives
@Losvar: 100% the electric motor is worse because it's not just about CO2. Those batteries and motors require prescious metals for mining and there's all sorts of other consequences environmental from metal mining besides just atmospheric CO2 emissions.

Round Up: Sustainable e-MTB Batteries, Cleaning 10,000 Pieces of Trash from Trails and More Green Initiatives
I have an absolutely REVOLUTIONARY idea, an e-MTB without a motor and battery. Join the green revolution and buy an unmotorized-e-MTB... Oh wait that's just a bike. E-MTB's are for douchebags and pussies (unless you're disabled then they're fine) Viva la Human!

Will Mountain Bikes Be Allowed in US Wilderness Areas Any Time Soon?
I don't like the idea of MTB's in wilderness because it provides easier access to remote spots that would normally need to be backpacked into. Easier access will increase traffic in those remote areas which has been shown to alter animal behavior and change the way animals use the landscape, generally in a way that negatively effects local populations of animals. Can't we leave some areas alone as a safe haven for animals to escape the encroachment of man? Then there's obviously the elephant in the room of the eMTB movement, which is a whole other can of worms to deal with if MTB's were to be allowed into wilderness. Just leave it alone, we have TONS of trails and land to build on already.

Video: Friday Fails #138
I think the next step here is themed videos; Scorpions, OTB's, 50/50's, whiplashes, Deep send explosions, etc.
