Building trails and riding down keeps me going.

Knolly Announces New 190mm Delirium
General comment: frame prices these days are too damn high. Companies are selling frames for $4k+ and full builds starting at $5,500ish. Better off buying a complete bike IMO.

Video: Phil Atwill - Saalbach Raw
As was said, the level of talent in WC's today is insanely high and it often comes down to who can piece together the track that day. Also, race-craft is different than riding because it's a different thought process. Straight-lines, late and hard braking, and throwing in pedal strokes are the name of the game (this is not stylish riding). Unless you're racing or training, nobody rides like that for fun. Consistency is also rewarded, both in each run's race pace and the overall season. The fast and stylish riders are actually using more energy to ride and aren't always on the race line. And they only have to look fast and stylish for as long as the video is. Fast guys are consistently fast in every section.
Atwill shines when it get's sloppy, and I'm always stoked when he's in the mix. His biggest talent is staying composed when getting loose and sideways.

Deity Celebrates 20 Years & Debuts New Products
@deityusa: The dealer sent out a new set. They worked OK but developed bearing play and ran rough. Nice shape and looks though. It's more that, for the price, I would expect near perfection.

I wasn't as stoked on the T-mac, one of the spindles was bent out of the box and the bearings didn't last that long. Disappointing for a $340 (CAD) pedal. Much prefer the Chromag Daggas.

Same thing happened to me. Whistler needs to address this problem.
