Pinkbike Poll: Why Don't We Wear Full-Face Helmets More Often?
After clipping a tree ripping thru a mostly flat local park trail, I impacted the next tree head on. I actually leaned as far as possible with my left temple grazing the tree and my left hand being smashed. I was fortunate to "only" have a plate and six screws in that hand with no serious face/head injury but I knew what might have been. The next ride was with a full-face helmet which I've worn every ride since then, (nearly 13 years ago). I don't get wearing a full face "sometimes" anymore than I get wearing a seatbelt sometimes. Even falling forward on your face from 0 mph can do serious damage.

@WkDayWarrior: I have the blue color and its stunning. Check out Pinkbike' first review back in 2017. The one on sale is the updated 1.4 but they're all just a blast, climb up anything and descend so fast and stable!
Here's the review link: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/pole-evolink-140-review.html
There's also a review of the updated 1.4 as well: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-original-game-changer-just-got-better.html

The pricing is astounding considering; Pole is offering the Evolink 1.4 with a fantastic spec for $2979 + shipping! Seriously one of the best bikes to come along in a decade for under 3K... That is the BEST DEAL ON OFFER right now! I own one plus a Stamina and both bikes are a joy to ride on everything from mellow trails to DH tracks. Cheers!

I've enjoyed Pinkbike for a number of years. The cheeky spin on products and people is informative and amusing! That being said, it's disappointing to see monetization become the death null for my PB enjoyment. I certainly recognize everyones need to make a living but may I ask how profitable PB's been through advert income? Can you make a fair profit if you didn't begin monetizing the articles? I'm sure no one will care about my disappointment but thought perhaps someone may want to know that side of the trail. Unfortunately I'll be foregoing the paid content and ultimately likely PB in general. Continued success and enjoy the lake house. Heck, I guess we bought it for you

First Ride: 2022 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Alloy - Adaptability Meets Affordability
Cutting edge wanna-be for the new school big brand pretenders. No thanks, I'll stick with bikes that actually offer, well... a better bike. Thank you Pole and Nicholai!
