Oct 31, 2020Fox 36 Factory GRIP2 170mm 29"
$785 USD2020 Fox 36 Factory - Float EVOL airspring, GRIP2 damper, and 170mm of travel. This fork delivers class-leading small bump sensitivity, with extremely tunable performance via independently adjustable high and low speed compression, high and low speed rebound, and airspring volume.
Fork is in excellent condition and has only been ridden on weekends for ~3 months. Just did a lower service. Never been crashed on. One of the Fox decals has slight cosmetic damage, but the fork is otherwise pristine.

Sep 12, 2020179cm Line Sick Day 102
$100 USDLine Sick Day 102 skis. Drilled once for Marker Kingpins (320mm BSL) and did occasional ski touring on them for two seasons. Cosmetic scratches on topsheets, with one core shot that was patched by a professional. This a playful 50/50 resort/backcountry ski that is equally at home carving groomers as it is on the skin track. Especially great for those looking to dabble in the backcountry for the first time. I sadly didn't get out on these near enough, and they have a lot of life left in them!
I also have a set of $170 BD Ascension skins that are cut to the skis' dimensions, available for an additional $25.

Aug 23, 2020Marzocchi Bomber Z1
$500 USDBarely used Marzocchi Bomber Z1. This fork offers unbeatable performance for the price point, with no frills adjustability and impressive chassis stiffness. Aside from a tiny scuff to one of the decals (pictured), the fork is basically pristine, with less than 5 hours of total ride time. Loved my short time on it, but I'm in the process of switching to a shorter travel bike better suited to my local terrain, so this Z1 will need a loving new home. Comes with crown race and star nut installed. Volume reduction tokens available upon request.

Video: 4 Women Rip Mountain Creek in 'Ride Like A Girl'
Men still make up the vast majority of mountain bikers in 2018. We don't NEED designated male only rides because all too often, your typical group ride is going to be all-male anyway.
It's our responsibility to do everything we can to make mountain biking a welcoming scene for people that aren't part of the majority - be it women, kids, racial minorities, etc. Anything less than that is exclusionary, as it just reproduces the patterns of inequality we already see in the sport.
And sorry, but biology just isn't a legitimate excuse for shitty behavior.

Cross-Country World Cups Were Viewed by More People Than Downhill for the First Time in 2018
Would be extremely curious to hear stats on what percentage of viewers of both DH and XC are mountain bikers.
I find WC DH to be fascinating, but I don't think I'd appreciate the same subtleties of line choice, risk management, and technique if I hadn't raced DH myself.
On the other hand, XC shows you battles, strategy, and overtaking in real time - things that 1. you don't have to be a mountain biker to appreciate and 2. much more closely resemble more popular racing sports like Supercross, F1, and NASCAR.
Could it be that as the global audience for MTB widens, viewers are opting for the sport that's easier to appreciate?
An anecdote that supports this idea: when showing non-MTB friends WC DH, I'll sometimes get comments along the lines of "...So you just watch different people ride down the same hill for two hours?"
