Norco's New $4,500 Torrent DH - Ready for Big Moves & the Bike Park
I have the Shore 180/180 travel and high pivot. I wonder about the kickback on this rig. That's what I love about my Shore... not kickback on large drops.

Video: Friday Fails #405
I love watching fails as much as anyone, but damn! Please, stop skipping steps in skill progression. There are so many of these crashes that happen because they are trying something that they are nowhere near in skills. Be safe out there everyone, but I guess if you're going to do something stupid, film it!

Frames from $150: Knolly’s Canadian Headquarters Up for Public Auction
I just bought a 2023 Fugitive 125, and the bike is built to last. Looking forward to riding it, and I hope Knolly can restart or rebuild in the near future!

Boulder County Proposes Major Trail Restrictions for Mountain Bikers
Your comment is on point! I live in Steamboat, which has amazing trails, but that Clear Creek County region is insane!

Why Arc’teryx Thinks It Can Outperform Established MTB Brands
Hard to justify the price... I don't care how good it is! I'll take FlyLow and other good brands for the fraction of the cost.
