First Look: Arid Spade - One of the Most Adjustable Frames Out There
I would suspect it is probably the same thing as what some people have started calling RAD - RIder Area Distance.
Having just recently swapped to a very high stack bike, it's definitely important to start paying attention to this when comparing bikes, not all 480 reaches are equal anymore.

Can a DH Bike Work for Enduro? We Converted a Pivot Phoenix to Find Out
I emailed Orbea a couple weeks ago asking them if they saw any downsides to doing this and quickly received a legal-disclaimer sounding response that said they don't recommend it and it would void the warranty..... Yeah, but would it be fun???

Review: Kavenz VHP16 - The Commenter's Dream Bike
As have I, the longest I have ever kept a bike. VHP16 with a regular drivetrain, pedals great, very smashy, 8lbs lighter than all my friends enduro bikes.

Kona Unit X
$1000 CAD2020 Kona Unit X in Extra Large
510mm reach suitable for a rider 6'2+
Pretty sad to be selling this one. Intended to keep it forever, but it was never the right size for me. Only selling it because I bought the exact same bike again in the correct size.
Gravel bike, plus bike, bikepacking bike, adventure bike, tour bike, winter bike, mountain bike. This one is a shapeshifter depending on how you choose to build it out. The most interesting, stupid, fun bike I've ever owned. Boost hub spacing means you can run regular mountain bike wheels with any 27.5 or 29" tire up to 3.0". Sliding dropouts can accommodate single speed setup.
In excellent shape, the only thing it will need soon-ish is new tires.

Freeride Ain’t Free: Introducing the Tourism Kamloops Freeride Fund
The trails in Kamloops have been reaping the rewards from groups like the KBRA, KMBTA, SPRTA, and Tourism Kamloops the last few years. The trails at the Ranch, Pineview, Harper and Sun Peaks have never been running better.
Thanks to all the guys and girls on the tools who were doing this anyways before these funding mechanisms came into play.
The article missed out on these sweet waterbottles from Tourism Kamloops with $5 going back to the trail fund:
