Field Test Review: 2024 Commencal Meta 5 SX - Supercross for a Reason
@henryquinney: For all the self deprecating humor you regularly practice, you are quite wonderful in your explanations, attention to detail and ability to reply to people. You're appreciated! (waiting for self deprecating, humorous response instead of taking a compliment). :)

Review: DVO Topaz X - Shock Week 2023
@stonant: Same. I really liked it, too! But, i sent it out for a full reservice with a replacement bladder and it ruptured just a few rides in. Ended up not wanting to stress every single ride.

Review: DVO Topaz X - Shock Week 2023
I gave up on mine and went with Fox after several bladders broke or had punctures. Always paid attention to the PSI.

Video: Risk and Reward with Kyle Strait in "I'm Fine"
@Baderfrank: Dude, that's always my thing. Wanting to do cool things that get the adrenaline going, show the kids that you don't stop having fun when you become a dad...then realizing I'm the bread winner and without my income, no house, no college, no etc...
It's a delicate balance. But I refuse to trade my enduro bike for a gravel bike :)

Results from the Leogang Enduro World Cup 2023
Pretty amazing that after almost 30 minutes of racing time that the winners are divided by just a few seconds. The skill from all of these riders (and their mechanics) is just amazing.

Specialized Releases Levo SL HT - An eMTB Hardtail for Kids
I hope this helps some kid somewhere learn to love being physically active and outside on a bike and get some quality time with their parents....especially in a few years when prices come down a lot more.
Hey, who cares how parents spend their money, right? I mean, one season of competitive sports is close to $1,000 + now. Will I buy it? No, because my towie was cheap and it forces me to have a lot of exercise as I pull my kids. But, I've even received heckles from people as I towed my kids up hills saying they have it too easy these days.
I had a lot more love and understanding for my kid when I realized his 28lb bike was almost 50% of his bodyweight...I'm sure I'd be complaining too if I had a 110lb bike to pedal up a hill.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Why We Suck At Mountain Biking
True! I got into photography as a hobby in 2001. It became a job for me for about 20 years. Got into mountain biking because there was absolutely no way it would ever turn into a job.
