Video: Danny Hart POV from Testing in Portugal

 stays on the bike he will

 my dude hit all the lines and all the trannies. mind f*kin blown. oh wait it's Danny never mind

 If you need a break from the horrific sunshine and blue skies you're welcome to trade places with me in the UK. I'm selfless like that.

 Eagle eye, well found!

 @qreative-bicycle: thanks mate, I had to pause it at the right moment just to be sure!

 Would be dope if he raced 26 again though

 Give me a marker so I can verify please.

 @Lotusoperandi: 9 seconds in

 @leviatanouroboro: whats 26? They are the small square ones right before they discovered roundless?

 Nah, gives vibe of warrior so it's a selling point. Slightly more original than Rocky Mountain and doesn't remind me of an ex (Intense).

Oddest of all is naming a brand after St Nikolas driving down main Street in his pimped pick up (Santa Cruz, geddit?).

And let's face it, Young Talent is a porntube search not a bike brand ha ha!

 I Believe the British army have some 'skilled Muslim Warriors' within their ranks. Where are you going with this?

 @drjonnywonderboy: They even named a tank after them.

 Sorry apc

 @shreddingpeas: preach

 I thought Santa Cruz meant sacred cross

 @jaame: nah, pretty sure it means "whales vagina"

 @jackalope: agree to disagree

 I'm sure you know all of this but it is all about presence to ocean, ocean current flow, wind patterns, and elevation. Latitude is only one piece of the pie. Chicago, Des Moines, etc, are all land locked, no large body of water acting as a mediating effect (no, the great lakes don't count, we're talking oceans here). Look at Seattle. High latitude but located close to Pacific, which acts as a mediator. Providence is close to the Atlantic but is on the west side of the ocean (winds and weather come across large body of land which is subject to lower temps both extreme and overall) and also in the path of arctic air flow in the winter. In the case of Portugal, the North Atlantic Current is a big player in climate (part of the Gulf Stream). Now, if that current were to collapse or slow due to climate change (and there is evidence this is a possibility) then buh bye warm parts of Europe (which has been seen to occur in the geological record).

 @Lotusoperandi: the oceans are a thermal buffer

 and madeira is freaking africa , north africa ; ) same as Canary islands.

 Whose bike is it?

 Yes, they had a really bad fire there that destroyed a lot of the trees. Still a very beautiful area though and the tracks are amazing.

 If that was a wc track it would be criticised for not being technical enough , was raw though !

 @Matt115lamb: True. I'm just tired of the push for dumbing down trails and flow trails.
