First Ride: Norco Fluid A1 - Don't Mess With a Winning Recipe
This just shot to the top on my short list for a trail bike.
I’ve ridden bikes enthusiastically for a looonggg time. I’ve also gone through the phase of having to have the top of the line components on my builds.
Now I like to see how economical I can build a bike and still have 98% of the performance.
The only thing I’d swap on this to start is bar/stem. Once the stock wheels were cooked I’d upgrade down the line.
Chapeau Norco!

Vampire Bikes Launches the Ripperatti: A Convertible Titanium DH Bike With a Gearbox
@MorganBH: None of the current Zerode models have a tensioner that hangs down so exposed like that (maybe previous ones do but the fact they’re gone now is telling). All of the Zerodes have the tensioner nicely tucked up behind the ‘chainring’ area.

Vampire Bikes Launches the Ripperatti: A Convertible Titanium DH Bike With a Gearbox
That thing is going to get ripped off every frame set that actually gets ridden hard in the first 3-5 rides.

They could’ve chose to say ‘lightening’ 🤷♀️

The QC is probably much better on the Norco.

Video: Breakout Freeride Star Alessio Tonoli Carves His Own Line in the Utah Desert
Riding was great. BUT, please don’t use plastic/synthetic sand bags in the desert.
Such a bummer to think they were probably just left there to litter the landscape.
The sand bags at rampage are all at least natural jute so they will ‘eventually’ decompose.

Binge Watch: Dennis Enarson’s Massive 15-Episode 'Game of Bike' Tournament
Game of Bike rules, but I do like the rules for SLVSH or Rail Royale (snowboarding) better. You keep the set until you miss your trick. No automatic alternating.
But maybe it would make the game go to fast in BMX?
I also like how in Rail Royale if the person setting misses their trick the other person can try and if they land the setter gets a letter.

First Look: The Mondraker Anark is a Dual-Link Aluminum Freeride Bike
@jpb1227: personal preference mate. I’m 6’ and often almost want to ride an XL because I like a ~495mm reach. Even on a park bike.
