Matt Jones’ MAVRIX MTB Video Game Now Available in Early Access
As far as MTB games go I've played worse. I know its early access but I feel like it is a little early even for that. It needs a few more months to brew before they released it as EA.
What we have at the moment feels a bit barebones almost more like a tech demo than a full game. However I feel like there is potential. At the moment though its clunky and lacking any real depth of content. Hopefully 6 months to a year and it will be more polished and fleshed out a lot more.
This will be on the back burner for me for a couple of months I'll check back in with it periodically when updates come.

Must Watch: Vinny T Attempts One of the Biggest MTB Drops Ever
Always had respect for this dude! damn what an attempt! Didnt even have to mention Bender, we were all thinking it!
I cant help but wonder if the front tyre had held, would he have rode it out? It seemed a heavy landing but manageable.
Its stuff like this that keeps that old big mountain vibe alive. I kinda hope he goes back to this with what he's learned and gives it another go. But at the same time I dont want him to break himself!
Keep inspiring dude! Stuff like this reignites that fire I had as a teen back in the early days of freeride.

Randoms From Bellingham's Northwest Tune-Up
Damn I miss the late 90's-early 00's bike design. Not so much the geometry... Bike design back then was wild. I'm sure its a rose tinted specs sort of situation. I always wonder if the big freeride bike designs of that era with modern tech and Geo would actually work?

Final Results from Red Bull Rampage 2023
Probably an unpopular opinion, however, Rampage should be about the most gnarly exposed and risky line on the hill, it should be about the rider vs the terrain. I dont think tricks should tricks should factor greatly. They should only be the deciding factor where two equally epic runs differ.

Pinkbike Poll: Who is the Unofficial Red Bull Rampage Pinkbike's Choice Winner?
From a slightly different perspective, Brendogs line was without a doubt the best on the hill, no contest. the exposure, the risk in itself was mind blowing. He put down some solid tricks but Rampage has evolved. as much as as i dislike the slopestyle "scene". theres no doubt that the judges have had to adjust to placate the scene kiddies.
If Brendog wants to take a W he needs to pull a bigger repertoire of tricks. Brendog is still the hero of the day for me though!

Sep 30, 2023Commencal Clash, S
$1575 GBPBuilt up this bike in Early/mid 2021, frame was used but hadnt seen much use when I got it. I used it a fair bit through 2021 however it has seen little use over the last year. Due to work and other activities I just dont get time to ride it anymore. Its in pretty good condition overall, a few marks here and there but no cracks or anything structural just some paint chips/scratches etc. Rear mech cage got bent at one point but I managed to get it back functional, as it works I never got round to replacing it but its something new owner might want to look at. Also, rear tyre is past its best, still plenty life in it though.
If you require any further information, just give me a shout!
