Must Watch: Gee Atherton Rides More Exposed Lines in 'Ridgeline IV: The Dolomites'
This gave me the same feeling in my stomach as when I watch free solo climbing. I'm not even sure I enjoyed it haha.

Now Finished: Ask Us Anything - Atherton Bikes on Launching Direct to Consumer Sales
150/160 always seemed like the sweet spot for me in the AM/enduro category, regardless of wheel size, yet the trend has been to go bigger. I'm sure it was an area of debate. Why did you land on that?

This is very burly. That's a heavy load of gear.

Video: Gee Atherton Shares Footage of the Biggest Crash of his Career
I recently broke my cheekbone and eye socket when I was wearing a half shell. The recovery from that alone was brutal. I can't imagine stacking it with all those other injuries. Head injuries put a specific kind of freight into you. Great to see how well he's doing and that it wasn't worse.

Round Up: Sustainable e-MTB Batteries, Cleaning 10,000 Pieces of Trash from Trails and More Green Initiatives
@madcow-krakow: Yeah I'll buy that and I hope new car purchasing does trend this way. This presumes, though, that the person buying the car isn't always trading up to new cars before the 5-6 year emission offset period is up. I'm not sure we can assume the type of person who buys new cars waits that long. Either way, there's a place for limiting consumption of new goods; whatever they may be.

Round Up: Sustainable e-MTB Batteries, Cleaning 10,000 Pieces of Trash from Trails and More Green Initiatives
@madcow-krakow: This is true, but what he's saying is also true. Driving an existing car until it's undriveable is greener than producing anything new. That said, if someone is dead set on replacing it then there is absolutely a net carbon savings to these technologies. No matter how many times people claim otherwise.

Video: World Cup Downhill Racers vs EWS Pros in a Strength Challenge
@jaame: I'd agree and I do them myself, but no matter how trendy they are they aren't without risk.
There's this notion among trainers right now (probably to keep up with the popularity of Crossfit) that every one of their clients should be on a regimen of heavy compound lifts, yet Danny Hart didn't need to do a single deadlift to get to where he is, or any the other elite downhiller for that matter, and risking a herniated disc doesn't seem worth it to me.

Video: World Cup Downhill Racers vs EWS Pros in a Strength Challenge
@johnnyboy11000: I'd go a step farther and say that heavy strength training probably doesn't have a ton of carry over on the mountain, at least not from a risk/reward standpoint. From what I understand even pro football players rarely do straight bar deadlifting. These guys should probably be doing trap-bar deads or nothing, and sure as hell don't need to be working up to maxes.
