Video: Dirt Sculpting Artist or Trail Builder in 'A Rideable Piece of Art'
@flowfiend: Will need to revisit: been a day since I hit Nevada City. Hoot & Scott's Flat/Drop are classics. BONC have done heroic job w/ Hoot upkeep given heavy traffic. Cool to hear they've expanded to the east w/ more ambitious flow zone.

Video: Dirt Sculpting Artist or Trail Builder in 'A Rideable Piece of Art'
Hats off to the dreamers & artists, even if they inhabit a different world than mine. Here in NorCal, no amount of season-pass money can compel Vail to even repair mid-season, mid-berm craters at Northstar, much less give a rat's *ss about aesthetics, or even next season. Perhaps park connoisseurs can chime in with some exceptions to the regional rule, but I can't think of a single trail this size in the entire state of California that was built to look like this, and maintained to stay that way.

Photo Story: Matt Fairbrother Wins NZ MTB Rally Entirely Self-Supported
It's not just the athleticism, Fairbrother embodies the ethos and spirit that forged this sport in ways we haven't seen in a single individual in a long, long time. Self-reliance, fortitude, sacrifice, adventure, risk, trailblazing. To see him breathe the full force of this spirit back into the specialized world of modern gravity racing makes this 40yr veteran of the sport grin like a kid as I get to my feet to applaud. Standing ovation kid!

The Pinkbike Podcast: What Makes Your Bike YOURS
100% on frame wrap nonsense. Throw $$ & hours that could be spent riding to wrap an entire frame for privilege of never-ending replacement of stickers that curl up at corners & need replacing as soon they gouge & form glue boogers. Added benefit: if you paid more for "premium" carbon to drop weight, those stickers pork that beauty right back up to low-modulus weight. If you care about looks, touch up paint is cheap & easy to find. Laundering money for the helitape industry for a product that can't fend off real structural damage is absurd.

Video: 'Sardines & Singletrack' - Sam Schultz Rides the New Rocky Mountain Instinct
Yes, but idea of sharing a tent with a guy who eats nothing but sardines seriously frightens me.

WTB Launches New Tire Plug Kit, TPU Tubes, & Tubeless Valves
I have retired a number of stems by different brands that do not maintain that full presta-core diameter all the way through, making it much harder to clear clogs & insert sealant injectors. Stating "our valve does not get stupid-narrow" is indeed a selling point.

Video: Kriss Kyle Tackles 4 Seasons in Cappadocia for 'Turkish Delight'
Almost every travel part Bron has ever put out has been amazing. That said, just because "Follow the Light" stole the drone-w-flare follow-sequence from the 2019 ski flick Heatseeker did not invalidate the whole project as a "knockoff." For that matter, Candide Thovex ripped some of the exact same lines in Cappadocia in 2018 that Bron did in 2021, and did things in air that Bron couldn't touch. And Thovex was *on skis,* sans snow, and got the same damn balloons in his part. Did that invalidate Bron's effort? Hell no. Locations can be revisited, and the results can still be awesome. Bron's approach was more freeracer & directional, and leveraged night shots w/ the flames in balloons. Kyle's part was much more jibby, drifty, off-axis, and leveraged a winter backdrop that even Thovex didn't get to "first." Breathe deep, repeat after me: "they're all awesome, and I wish I could be so unoriginal as to ride there too."

Review: 2024 Norco Sight - For All the Mountains
High pivot = DH-rig weights on trail bikes. Love the weight, or lose the pivot.
