Red Bull Releases Statement on a Women's Category at Rampage
@pathopkins: The may ride the same course but they most definitely do not "all send the same shit,". If you think their bodies take the same impact and physical risk we're not watching the same world cup races

Video: Friday Fails #291
Lots of heavy hits this week, including some big POV slams. Far fewer people just showing poor judgement, but enough to remind us "don't be a Joey". We always see a lot of front-seat ejections but this week was less "seriously misjudging jump speed" and more front tire issues (less, not zero!). A couple of big tree KOs garnishing a solid serving of OTB mayhem. I give it an 8/10

@eswebster: one of those head-kick insta-knock outs. Brutal.

Grow Cycling Foundation's Inglewood, CA Pumptrack Officially Opens Sunday, September 24th
Confused because Inglewood - Calgary has had a pumptrack for a while; saw palm trees - different Inglewood.
More pumptracks == more betterness!

Must Watch: 16-Year-Old Anthony Shelly Absolutely Sending It in the Whistler Bike Park
Which NWD is the ladder to rock wall ride from? I saw Kirt Voreis ride it in... 2012? and it was iconic back then.

2023 Red Bull Rampage Riders List Announced
@lifeofloon: that's why I'd like to see something like expand the dig crew by one woman, then let them ride in a showcase / non-comp the day before, or something of that nature. Let them participate and get exposure without competing in the same forum/style as the men.

2023 Red Bull Rampage Riders List Announced
@dmackyaheard: forget about Formation, what about DarkFest? Sure it's more groomed but they hit all of the huge features.

2023 Red Bull Rampage Riders List Announced
@WestC0astWanderer: what about a collab with the women helping in the build the competition lines, and then a non-comp day sessioning some of the features they helped create? It doesn't make sense to me to have a "contest" with only a few people capable of riding this terrain, and the women have proven better at putting on fest-style events than the men.

First Ride: 2024 Trek Slash
based on your up/down votes it's definitely polarizing!
But what's with that fender? It looks like the one on my wife's townie.
And integrated stem/bars? pass.

YT Launch Top-Spec Capra Uncaged 12
Doesn't matter; CB has burned too many bridges with past "looks great; no durability" products (i.e. me) to ever get another penny.
