 29ers and lycra are gay says most of pinbike members but fill a video up with just that and it will get vod

 apparently none of those xc guys know to wheelie and make Braaaap! noises when a camera is pointed at them. But, it's biking, so I still liked the video..

 Yeah when the hell did this sport become so hateful? It's mountain biking...If a VOD is going to ruin your day then you're doing something wrong with your time.

 Maybe its only the opinion of the loudest ppl on PB that XC and lycra is gay...

 I don't understand why the lycra debate. Since when was MTB a fashion show? Lycra is high performance for long hrs in the saddle, it's nothing new, MTB'ers have been wearing it since the beginning, also World Cup downhill skiers etc wear skinsuits and are you gonna tell me they aren't badass?. When people whine about it, it always makes me assume they have body insecurities.

 Most of Pinkbike would have hated the 2006 UCI world downhill champs in New Zealand then. Every single rider was wearing lycra skin suits.

 Um being able to do a wheelie doesn't exactly make you a great rider... that's every 10 year old. Being able to bomb through trails fast makes you a good rider and a lot of these guys are good. Some of our terrain is pretty sketchy on a 29er with full seatpost... I think I can ride a lot of stuff with my xc bike but it's hilarious how much easier everything is on my enduro bike!

 @robwhynot ... I stand corrected.. he got like 3 feet of air off the line! haha. Seriously my comment above was total sarcasm. It's nice to see something different between all the world endure coverage...

 neg prop me but I just can't resist saying that "LYCRA IS f*ckING GAY"

 Quit the hate, c'mon now and grow up. XCers train just as hard if not more than the other disciplines because it's more physically demanding. I know DH has to have a lot of focus and good line choice and etc to go downhill but these guys climb up and down whilst picking good lines and thinking strategy too to get around opponents. You're not racing with people unless you're in XC or 4X. They deserve a lot more respect in my opinion, definitely not the shit you give them. It's just more competition based style of MTB, not as laidback as other styles. Lycra is proven to help people, keep them cool & go faster (less baggy clothing)... Starting to think the majority of PBer's are lazy wannabes for calling this stuff gay and giving it the crap they do. Well, there's my 2cents, hate or appreciate.

 I bet most of the haters couldn't come close the times laid down by these guys on the same bike, even descents. Certainly not after pounding out massive km's the day or days before.

 So many hateful people against monster trucks, have you ridden one lately? I put many smaller wheel bikes to shame on a mach 429 built up as a trail bike. XC isn't really my thing, but ill do a xc race once in a while and put on lycra since you're red lining the whole time. I prefer the 29er so far for for all of what i do except pure dirt jumping.

Just ride your bike and have fun

 I ride downhill and xc. Most dugouts on here hating would not make it 20 mins on an xc bike. Bitching by lazy macho guys with something to prove

 Those XC lycra shorts are showing way too much cumberland sausage for my liking.

 The guy lying down with the no. 2 candle has a very annoying voice...

 I've always been a dh guy. Never really been into xc, but this event looks so awesome. I would definitely do this if it wasn't so far away/expensive haha

 Am I the only one who finds him annoying?
  • + 8
 He put on so he can go from checkpoint to checkpoint to keep supporting the race, essentially like the moto crew there. It's not a permanent fixture. Go Tippie, from all the pics I see you're doing a great job keeping the spirits up!
