Video: Tom Pidcock Going Warp Speed on a Road Bike

@8a71b4: >you don't necessarily have to put yourself in dangerous situations on a road. You can ride safe routes, sidewalks, neighborhood streets over main roads You do realize OP in the thread slammed into a car due to an oblivious pedestrian? Moronic pedestrians/hikers wear headphones, have zero situational awareness, & spread out over trails no matter how wide. I was riding a fire trail merge point, 2 full lanes wide, & these five (big) ppl managed to cover 100% of it. And ignored my big-a$$ bell. And it was MY fault for 'scaring them' when i slammed to halt. Idiots are on every trail, paved or not.

Industry Digest: Trek's Direct to Consumer Box, Low Salaries, Sea Otter & More

@mikealive: > Where does this idea come from that a business exists for the primary function of providing a paycheck for its employees? At least in USA, that's the rationale for giving significant preferential tax treatment to corporations: because they're "supporting the public good", a la hiring employees. Corporations shouldn't have it both ways: paying such low wages their employees are on food stamps, yet *also* get to claim those employees on their taxes.

5 Things We Learned from Red Bull Rampage 2021

@ibishreddin: "no one is obligated to compete". But there is a responsibility of the organizers to not let it get too dangerous. F1 adjusts rules each year to keep the cars from going too fast & sketchy, & the sport survives just fine.

Updated: The Fest Series Parts Ways with Darkfest

This was always about money. Between Red Bull paying absolute garbage to Rampage riders, I'm sure Sam is starting to pull some coin, & ppl didn't like how it was being distributed. SM posts aren't s**t without talent. The Darkfest lineup this year is pretty sad

Video: Yoann Barelli & Remy Metailler Return for Another Attempt at a Huge Send

True, back in the day. Now Bourdo knows better. Getting older, you don't bounce back as fast, but still wanna ride drops. These guys are showing the way.

Hiker to Claim Self Defence After Right of Way Dispute Stabbing

@TotalAmateur: No evidence is not evidence of the negative case. Just as logical to argue "having NO GUNS deters crime 100% of the time no crime is committed".

Field Trip: 8 Value Bikes Hucked to Flat in Super Slow Mo

How much of that was the landing? The Vitus came in almost flat, while others were lots more tail-first. The bikes which hit tail-first had a lot more front/back hurky-jerky....

Video: The Top 3 Runs from the Crankworx Rotorua Slopestyle

@SirWonky: Ummm, plus a twister that the vid didn't show. Huh? Just b/c Rogatkin has Twisters "on lock" (per Cam McC) doesn't mean you can blow them off. Only *one* other rider has pulled it off in comp... & their name ain't Rheeder, nor even Semenuk.

NAHBS Postponed Until August Due to Concerns About COVID-19 Virus

@oscartheballer: > You know less about viruses, epidimiology, and transmission rates, than Waki knows about engineering. I'm confused. Less than 'Everything' is still a lot?
