And they're super light but I hit a rock garden in them and they literally blew off my feet.

I think he should try "punching" it.

I don't care if this was recorded on VHS. Really impressive riding!

I wouldn't call them POS's (given that they cost more than most used cars), but you're not wrong. The specialized link takes you to the Stumpjumper page. They should've linked to the Stumpjumper FSR page: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/stumpjumper-fsr

Isn't the intent of trail building beyond "raking and riding" to firm up berms, drainage routes, bridges over delicate ecosystems (creeks and the like)? I have loved the Coastal Crew for years and am typically very impressed by the trails they build (as far as I can tell via video) and the production of their work. But this does not seem to encourage very positive trail building practices. I can handle the forthcoming downvotes, but the reason there are bans on trails like this is because they can cause erosion, slides, and harm to dependent ecosystems. And yes, I'm sure this is on private property. And yes, I'm sure they had permission. But it still bothers me. And yes, I also have concerns about Rampage but have never said anything because the event is just too damn cool. So call me a hippy or a hypocrite. I'm just posing the question (that has already been asked and answered 100k times).

Yeah, his whole edit had all kinds of style and flow. Had to go back and watch it again.
