Red Bull Releases Statement on a Women's Category at Rampage
Take the gender out of it, let whoever run, but if panel decides that a rider doesn't cut the grade because they aren't able to ride the course game over no ifs buts or maybes about who's packing what. You can guarantee the best way to choke the sport is to let anyone ride an extreme track and bin it, kill themselves then it's game over for everyone.

Bike Check: Acoustic's V2 Steel High Pivot
@R-M-R: oh totally agree, I love the look of the VHP16, it's funny if you squint how some bikes look very similar! Apart from knolly bikes, I can't even think of any other make that looks even slightly like a knolly!

Review: Vittoria Mazza Enduro Race Tires - A Compound Too Far?
@JasperTS: Yes aerospace, not tyre production which is why if you read my original statement I'm asking the question of how exactly adding graphene to rubber makes a significant change. I'm trying keep this simple for you as your going way off track here. Since your quite happy to try to pick apart my knowledge base and previous experience, what's your background? Just so I can get a better understanding. It's just your critical of my understanding but contradict yourself by only offering up similar cut and paste information whilst criticising me for the same. I do actually have real world experience to back up my understanding also so feel free to go ahead and share yours

Review: Vittoria Mazza Enduro Race Tires - A Compound Too Far?
@JasperTS: You've just posted a link to an article describing exactly what I'm talking about. A company stating the know benefits but with little to no data, official data, to back it up. As for you clear assumption that I don't have a grasp of the subject of compounds an the effects of the addition of components that bond on a molecular level? Well I spent over 19 years in my first career in aviation engineering. 11 of that was working exclusively with resins, glass fibres, carbon fibre and aramid. As well as this I also worked with adhesives for aluminium skin bonding. In any of these processes mixing of compounds in exact quantities, many of them polymers is paramount. So yes I do have a good understanding of what I'm talking about.
