@jessie-mmorgan: …because you aren’t. You published an article with the universal claim that 27.5” is dead and you’re now taking the position in the comments that ‘you were just expressing your preference’. Now, to reference an article asking what peoples’ trail bike preferences are is the definition of a strawman. Your article wasn’t discussing the preferences of trail bike wheel sizes, and the article you quoted doesn’t support 27.5” is universally dead either. If that sounds like semantics, it isn’t. Here’s an example — I prefer a 29” trail bike, but I’d sooner sell every bike component I have than my Transition Scout frame. Preferring a 29” trail bike does not negate the amazing qualities of the Scout with it’s dual 27.5” wheels. Both can be true at the same time and neither diminishes the other.

These comments are exactly what I hoped they would be. Hahaha.

Even if it isn’t, this comment still made me smile.

@cretin82: This year will be the first year I haven’t gone since 2021. I’m honestly sick and tired of being harassed by Whistler Bylaw and Crankworx as the festival organizers have done nothing to provide a place for people who can’t afford $200/night hotels to sleep in/on their vehicles. I would honestly pay $50 a day for a reserved lot with a port-O-john and knowing I don’t get banging on my door at 7am. …and I’m not even talking about what I consider a disaster last year. The midway / vendor exhibits were completely absent the entire festival with exception of a couple days before Joyride. It honestly didn’t even feel like a festival. Oh, and who can forget the slow and painful death of the Lot 3 demo area.

I love videos like these, but in the spirit of constructive criticism, the fast pans, quick cuts, and shaking made it difficult to watch.
