Forbidden Bike Company's High Pivot Trail Bike - Crankworx Whistler 2018
i'm guessing (as these guys are located on vancouver island) that the name is a reference to forbidden plateau - which is a pretty sweet riding zone.
regardless, this design looks dope. looking forward to hearing more from these guys, and wish them the best of luck getting this project rolling.

Video: Exploring Coffee Trails in Colombia with Anita & Caro Gehrig
@Slabrung: using a cheap popcorn maker is a easy way to dabble in home roasting. small batch size, but solid results. i was buying green beans at ~1/2 the price, and truly fresh roast made for amazing espresso. don't do it now (in close proximity to a bevy of great roasters), but it was fun experiment.

as the guys lived in the same area and knew each other well; to say it was heavily influenced is certainly not a stretch. bit of a shame zerode dropped the dh chassis. would be cool to see an updated carbon big wheel iteration.

The Resurgence of High Pivot Suspension Design
no big deal in practice. a bit harder to manual, sure, but not something that you can't adjust to. i can see not everyone would like the feel, but the difference in how much less a high pivot hangs up on square edge hits is certainly tangible. hp bikes are beasts in the chunk. really cool to see them come back into fashion.
