The level of risk in the past 3 years of Rampage has me questioning if I even want to watch- although it's total awe & joy seeing the finest athletes push the boundaries of human accomplishment, I'm also signing on to watch someone break their neck, lose everything, or worse. Does Rampage's benefit to the sport- progression, unity, inspiration, excellence- outweigh the cons of it also feeling like an increasingly barbaric spectacle?

We were really looking forward to this place being less than an hour away. I emailed Scott @ PBR and asked him what we can do to help & if they could they give our money back in the meantime ... he sent me a refund yesterday but no specific directions beyond that (i.e, to contact local officials). Would've preferred to just go ride up there, unofficially, but it'll probably be cool-kids invite-only for a while...

Amazing

@jzPV: I have never encountered this before but I'm hearing it in my head with a German accent and I am SO happy

Dreadful. Sorry for that community.

I admire how well you explain this humble topic that IMO should be common knowledge based on how important it is to our mobility to have functional ankles. I audibly ruptured an ankle ligament at the beginning of a bike trip, months of healing made me hold back on most trail/DH riding. As a mtber, I understand that feet+ankles modify force from the pedals and basically help maintain body position. As a former yoga teacher, it may have been more appropriate to include photos of all the awesome modifications (I.e, folded mat under the heels in squat, small towel rolls under the front of the ankle in thunderbolt) due to the ubiquity of ankle trauma among PB readers. As a physical therapy student, I would include the idea that even one PT appointment can help you to realize current limitations and ways to progress in order to avoid chronically weak and/or stiff ankles. For real. Those older folks who fall and break their hips, then get pneumonia post-op day 3 and just become weaker and basically start dying... Well, they mostly did not slip on black ice or drunkenly fall down the stairs. It often starts at the foot and ankle. So do your yoga : )
