Interview: Meet the Chinese Rider Going Viral for His Massive Freeride Sends
Looked like a pretty good probability of brain damage there.
Seems the crash vids are getting most of the likes/views. I mean stunts always have this risk factor but it's kind of sad. The actual stunts here probably aren't compelling/unique enough to draw big attention, aside from these death/paraplegia risking aspects. At some point the luck would run out.

Opinion: Mixed-Wheel Bikes Are Like A Swiss Army Knife
Also, the 29er momentum affects how willingly the bike stops/brakes. To me that is another thing affecting fun factor.
All this just means the 27.5 rear is probably best for me on the trails that are the most fun to ride.
No doubt 29/29 is best for covering distance in XC, tech climbing and general descending straighter gnarly trail.

Opinion: Mixed-Wheel Bikes Are Like A Swiss Army Knife
The weight difference even just on the rear is a noticeable thing. Not necessarily for climbing but in theory less unsprung weight and a little easier to throw around. Plus less gyroscopic feeling on jumps (which probably also affects the throw-arounding in general).

First Ride: The Sub-$600 RockShox Domain and Psylo Forks
Yeah, ask RockShox if that's normal, sounds like a warranty issue.

The Evolution of the Specialized Enduro
Arguably AM and Enduro are just the same thing. Long travel trail bikes. Just depends how long, how strong.
History of AM, basically:

First Ride: Revel Rascal V2
Looks like that bottom bracket height increase might be slightly too much, especially with 150mm fork. It's higher than most others in the category.
