Pinkbike Poll - Have You Had a Near Death Experience on Your Bike?
No angry animals in England? I almost hit a badger on a night ride once. You do not want to fuck with them... My neighbour's labrador got killed by one

2013 Red Bull Rampage: 36 BIKES
I'm sure he could get a few if he wanted to, but he just doesn't seem like that kind of guy, and that's cool

2013 Red Bull Rampage: 36 BIKES
I said this last time but... A large proportion of riders last time out were on Marzocchis, including the 3 that happened to have massive front end impacts. If they were anything smaller than a MX fork they still would have snapped

Troy Lee Designs Releases 2013 Summer / Fall Bike Collection
I am en engineer, so let's get it right. Say your moto helmet has a 40mm thick crumple zone, designed to absorb the energy of your head hitting a pavement at 60mph. At 30mph, you won't use all of that crumple, so the impact is spread over less time, meaning faster deceleration of your head. As F=ma, this means more force exerted on your head (relative to the speed of the crash). A mountain bike helmet designed to crumple 30mm at 30mph (for example) will use all of that space to reduce the deceleration of your head, resulting in a smaller force acting on it and a safer brain within. Aaron Gwin, doing his usual moto speeds, is fine with a moto lid. I am a mere mortal, so I'll keep my THE One.

Marzocchi Forks Through the Years
Worse was that he seemed to think younger readers wouldn't know it. Well I worked in a bike refurbishing shop when I was 17, so it was all quill stems and loose ball bearings. And he went and got it wrong anyway...

Video: Manon Carpenter Holidays In Spain
She is a great rider and absolutely lovely but I didn't like the video. Far too effects-driven for my tastes, and stylised but lacking style
