Review Addendum: Bluegrass Legit Carbon Helmet - I Tested It More by Crashing
It's a great review, the most inspiring helmet review of all time. The line about being indecisive and staying between life and death had me straight up guffawing. It's obvious Alicia is an extremely talented writer and the blend of product review and life insights was special -- like the hairs on my arms shouldn't be raising when I read a helmet review. Needless to say, I hope Alicia continues healing and writing absolute fire!

Must Watch: Brandon Semenuk's Fools Gold
I just love watching BS ride a bike. I work in film and the editing was tight but maybe a little in the way of things, I always love the grain/actual film look and I still enjoyed the video. Dude could just ride down the road and it would look smoother than anyone else and captivate me. He's both more stuck to the earth than everyone else while also being more nimble and flighty. A Semenuk golden hour edit of just beautiful foggy morning and evening shots and pure bike smoothy smooth bliss would make me orgasm til the end of time.

Video: How Slack Are The Bikes On The North Shore? - Daily Driver Bike Checks
@Cspringsrider: I'm obsessed w/my raw Rune, built it up to about 32-33 with all alu and Maxxis DD, also without breaking the bank. But I do spend like most of my time researching parts and waiting on deals lol. Either way it's by far the best bike I've owned and also my fav.

I Crashed Hard - A Post-Injury Update from Alicia
Wishing Alicia the absolute best and looking forward to her first article back about the helmet she was wearing during the crash. I'm very interested to read that.
I also want to add that I thought this update was beautifully written and conveyed a complex situation with perfect clarity (and a little humor thrown in, too) - just really awesome to see as a fellow writer and happy for Alicia that she seems as sharp as ever with her words.

Marin Launches New Rift Zone Alloy Range
I worked at a Marin dealer years ago. Fast and knowledgable warranty dept, but we didn't have many issues with the bikes and carried most of their mountain and gravel lineup. They're kind of like Kona was in the 2000s, the bikes are surprisingly good and the value is great.

Propain Pauses its Factory Race Team for 2023
Sadly I believe this is part of the plan, which is to make the cost of entry high enough (now 20k just to start, I think) to dissuade the small teams from joining, as Discovery is looking for fewer but bigger teams, as in almost every sport. The newer format is better for less teams, too. A new DH series is badly needed.
