Video: Max Fredriksson’s Perspective on Why the Male Slopestyle Riders Decided to Not Compete at Crankworx Rotorua
The insane number of people swarming the course aren’t paying admission though. And the livestream audience is pretty small compared to just about any other sport. I know there’s a tendency to think joyride is a big deal, but from outside the sport it just isn’t.
The only people making bank off Crankworx are the hotels and bars

Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
Why not a dreadnought?
You might not get your KOM on the climb, but it’ll still be fun. And pedaling the big rig around will make you fitter. A before-work ride is the perfect example for when the bike doesn’t matter. Ride what you’ve got, it’ll be over in an hour, it’s all good.

SRAM Patent Shows Smarter Built-In ShockWiz on Forks & Shocks
When you buy gear you know what you’re getting. And if you don’t like it, you can sell it on.
With instruction, not only do the instructors vary in skill and quality, but different teaching styles work for different people. Just because your buddy really liked a clinic, doesn’t mean you’ll get anything out of it. It’s a lot more of a risk.

Pinkbike Poll: What Are Your Must-Have Features On a New Mountain Bike?
@hugepop: sure. I’m not mad that a Bugatti exists, and I’m not mad that $12k bikes exist. But that doesn’t mean I can afford either of them.
Or a Tacoma, for that matter.
