 @RedBurn: so true, every ride is the best! I always say it after a pedal, I'm like, that was the best in ages!!!!!! And that is after every single ride. Riding is just sick. Always!

Peas out!

 I guess if you don't sweat much in the hand area, its fine. Maybe Nino can go glove-less next season??

 concerned it will cost money now to ride without gloves...or new, bare-hand conforming grips will be all the rage in 2019.

 I don't wear gloves, unless it's stupid cold!
  • 1 0
 Personal preference, I do in summer as I sweat too much to hold on and in winter for obvious reasons, but all the time I can ride without, you have more control. Also the smiths have always like to go hand in glove! I'll see myself out...

 Only wear gloves on real long runs, helps with arm/hand fatigue. When riding the local stuff it feels much better without. Choose your grips carefully though! (Shout-out to sensus, the 'Disisdaboss' grips ride sweet with no gloves!)

 You only need gloves when you crash. Same goes to condom.

 as soon as a pair of gloves are made- that don't bunch up in the palm- i will start wearing gloves. until then its no love for glove- in mtb and in moto.

 @laxguy: yeah but then they take the chill pill and it makes them less interested. @chyu - never count on checking out early. I'm seriously considering cutting the lines

 Reno- the more 'sophisticated' sibling of Fresno and El Centro

 you are, quite possibly, the first person to ever refer to Reno as sophisticated. even in quotes.

 I gotta say, growing up in Carson City I always thought of Reno as an armpit. Only good for stores that weren't in the home town, maybe that's just me. And last I checked there's slot machines everywhere in Nevada, gas stations, Denny's, grocery stores, etc. Those were some seriously big jumps though.

 @Duderz7: That's funny because everyone in Reno thinks of Carson as basically a ghetto of Reno.

 @phile99: Fresno does have Slot machines: Table Moutain Casino- 10 largest in the State.

 I live in Reno, been trying to find these jumps for weeks now........
  • 3 2
 You won’t find them. They’re on private property way out in the desert partially owned by Zink, Shaun Palmer and a private rancher. And, if you did find them you wouldn’t be able to ride them. Sorry, not trying to be mean or snarky, but they are on private property after all. Go dig your own, plenty of free, open land in Nevada. Otherwise, stick to Geiger, Truckee bike park etc.

 @Trudeez: I heard they’re not even in Reno, like super north
