Thank you, CeramicSpeed! Now, 600$ for a gravity bong seems perfectly reasonable and is an even lower price than these two ceramic wheels on a frame! -> https://stundenglass.com/

Not commenting on Amaury's slip-up as it was immature and empty-headed, we've all been there, regret included... ;) But what's really interesting is how the "outrage" in the industry and sponsors is in direct inverse proportion to the actual representation and commitment of same industry to POC riders. It's been a pretty colonial white-bread affair so far, with very few exceptions. Oh and don't even get me started on equal representation of gender or religious orientation, lol! All we get is derivative outrage with the actual reference (POC) removed from the equation (other than words in the language of their former colonizers) in the service of clickbait.

@rarerider: In my personal experience, the wear and tear on your wrists only really supports one of those activities, either e-sports (yep, that's what they call it these days) or MTB, happy(-ish) wrists. I opted for the latter.

Dear Deity Components, long-time user here, back when you guys still had that pretty gothic font. In recent years, it has been next to impossible to find your stuff in Europe (LBS or online, no matter). That's very sad because I'd like to support you guys instead of UPS/DHL, etc.... If shipping costs more than the stuff I wanna buy, then it's really hard not to look for (cheaper) alternatives.... In any case, thanks for everything! My 31.8mm blacklabel bar is still going strong and is among the most comfortable I ever remember using!

@WAKIdesigns: We could sure do that, but maybe PB isn't the appropriate platform for this kind of conversation (don't scare the trolls, snowflakes, gender-challenged ppl, etc.). :) As a (continental) philosopher, I read Lacan, Freud and Deleuze & Guattari, but mostly for self-observation and trying to get different perspectives on philosophical problems. However, luckily (for them), no patients depend on me, but even I can't bring myself to be kind and patient all the time, especially when faced with such stubborn stupidity by some self-challenging a*hole feeling lucky (probably also talking about a former version of myself here). The thing that offends me is not that kind of behaviour (it's an integral part of our oedipal-capitalist society), it's that the perps usually think that it'd be enough to get away with pretty much anything, therefore disrespecting and insulting the intelligence of their counterparts... Oops, rambling and hijacking topics, sorry for that, now back to BIKES! That being said, @WAKI, I am glad you're here! Keeps the comment section from being too dull and it sure is entertaining! ;)

@WAKIdesigns: Touché. I was referring more to the less obvious reasons for the "stir and shit throwing". Therapists would charge for that, you're welcome Mr. Snowfake. :D

@WAKIdesigns: Surely ticks all the boxes: 1.) presenting an error of logical category as "argument" 2.) if challenged, deflects and goes on to make yet another categorial error 3.) when becoming tangled in their own argumention, goes on to "deny until you die" 4.) completely (or shall I say pathologically) impervious to the presentation of an alternative point of view 5.) either blames the world for everything wrong with their lives or perceives the things and people around them in service to their narcissism... :) Ergo: if you're a troll online, be prepared to be laid on the couch and be vivisected psychologically by people more observant than yourself. :D (Not sure why I am feeding that particular troll today, must be the weather or something....)

@mkotowski1: Ever been "driving while black" in the US? Morals and ethics quite a subjective and relative thing... Also, thanks, I guess, for assuming everyone is grateful for pushing the perceived moral superiority of your world-view on them.

@NotNamed: you can read up on different strains, THC, CBD, etc. on leafly.com. Make sure you use a VPN or TOR Browser if you access it outside of North America, you'll never know where that data might end up... ;)

Gotta love DARK Fest every time it comes around! Riding is certifiably INSANE and stoke levels are high, while the Northern Hemisphere is freezing their b*lls off, waiting for spring. (I don't do winter riding, Fork oil is like glue, my muscles aren't smooth enough for gnar and my fingertips turn blue, no thank you!) Any time at this point of the year I watch a DARK Fest edit, I am thinking to myself: "Yep, next season is gonna be awesome, don't worry, these dudes seem to have fun already!" Makes the waiting a bit easier. A convoluted way to say: THANKS GUYS! KEEP IT COMIN'!!
