@olafthemoose: I'm basing this on the wikipedia article on the subject, which seems to clearly state that it is legal anywhere in the states? "Despite opposition from medical and social-services professionals, as of 2022, the spanking of children is legal in all 50 states and, as of 2014, most people still believe it is acceptable provided it does not involve implements." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporal_punishment_of_minors_in_the_United_States

@mosierman: Wow, you’re a real hero! Abusing your children is always the lazy bully’s approach to parenting, nothing to be proud about. Any person with average intelligence can quickly research this and conclude there are no benefits to be had from abuse, the only result is broken and dysfunctional minds. Here in Sweden child abuse has been banned by law since the fifties (with an extra clarification in the seventies explicitly stating that any abuse intended as disciplinary is forbidden) This is also the case in most other European countries, but as usual USA lags behind a bit. Come on people, get with the times!

@rich-2000: We agree on the out of saddle pedaling and downhill traits at least :) As mentioned I probably have relatively smooth pedaling, and as such is less sensitive to seated pedaling. I'm also barely 5'9 (on low gravity days), and as such not that affected by the seat tube angle, though I did prefer it in the high mode (but I run it in low to get a low and nice BB with my 150mm fork). I've been considering switching it to high mode and putting a 140mm fork and a -1 angleset on there to get similar geo with steeper seat tube angle.

@rich-2000: What Evil bikes did you have? My Evil offering (140mm) pedals very well, especially during standing pedaling (which to me is important, others my prioritize other attributes). Compared to my old Transition Scout (125mm) it pedals a lot better. Compared to my even older Ibis HDR (135mm) and the Ibis Ripmo (145mm) I demoed it's almost as good seated and about the same during standing sprints. I think people often have different opinions on which bike pedals well, and it probably has a lot to do with how you pedal your bike. To me, most bikes pedals ok while seated, but some really suck when standing up which sort of kills my motivation

Did you watch the video? It's a pretty obvious brain fart from Rude. We all think it would have been more fun if he hadn't been DQed, but he's the only one to blame here.

In the pictures he also runs a ~10mm spacer under the stem...

@mikekazimer: I think it was a reference to Dan Roberts review of Knolly's fullsus BMX ;)

"Amaury's mechanic says the steeper lever angle creates a more attacking position." I always felt that attack was what was lacking in Amaury's riding...
