@BarryWalstead: no that is not a comparison of ability. It is a comparison of style. Very different. Women seem to flow through terrain with grace. I enjoy watching that. Pretty simple really

@owl-X: strictly complementary. It’s an observation that I like watching women ride. Is that not permitted? Not comparing gender ability

Something about watching women ride trails that makes me want to go for a ride myself (more so than men). More natural flow and sync with the trails, less attacking and useless berm shrallping. Same thing in skiing and surfing. Presumably brands have caught onto this… if not… well, here’s a hint haha

Sep 13, 2023Norco Fluid Large A2 Custom
$2900 CADBike of the year on Vital and winner of the Pinkbike field test this thing is an awesome all around rig. I’ve built it up to handle the Squamish area and it did exactly that. Climbs like an xc bike and has the geo / suspension to descend anything comfortably.
I bought this bike new from Corsa Cycles one year ago. I’ve used it for my coaching / guiding days in Squamish in combination with a bigger enduro bike. Very well looked after as it needs to be mint for work.
The A2 retails for 4K plus tax and does not include all of the follow upgrades
- 150 air spring from 140 mm in the Z2
- XT 4 piston brakes with 200 mm rotors front and back
- Stan’s Neo hubs, front rims is Stan’s flow and rear is DT swiss 511. Best alloy rim for a bike like this. Wheels are straight and tight
- 210 mm dropper post with one up remote. You can slam the dropper to the collar on this frame !
- Diety 30 mm rise bars
- anvil stem 35 mm
- ODI ruffian grips
- dhr 2 exo+ and assagai exo +
- tubeless
- upper chain guide
- one up composite pedals
Service
- rear shock just serviced at Corsa. Not ridden since
- front fork was serviced in the spring when new air spring was installed
- brakes bled recently, pads have 50%. Can included new pads
- pivot bearings all smooth
- chain is 2 rides old
Bike needs nothing and is ready to shred. Some cosmetic scratches on the frame but pretty minor

Nerding Out: Are More People Watching World Cup DH Racing in 2023?
In BC the timing is tricky. I would watch an hour or so of each race in 2022. Sometimes live, sometimes not. In 2024, I’ve watched nothing.
