@mtnbykr05 That's because you still think it is super cool you work a bike shop and get a discount. The rest of the world grew up and got real jobs and knows everyone on the inside gets a discount in every industry. The not discount sales are called revenue. That covers things like overhead and payroll. The left overs are called profit.

This plus a contest to go on the next epic film adventure.

Well done, I really like the addition of the (what I assume) local music. The other part that helps make the video good is the conversation. Doesn't come off like an interview or some pre-written marketing.

I got a pair off Amazon for 20 or 30 last year. Best deal on a pair of pedals yet for me.

" You have too easy terrain for your laps then not enough variables. I read Wilson, McCormack and Hamilton, the rest I do ignore really. It's enough to read from them for me, and it is very hard to undermine their authority." Great why don't you take your authoritative sources over to the XC racers or road bikers and let them know how stupid they are. Argue all you want but you lose in theory to the laws of physics and in practice to the results of racers. If you want to go 0 for 3 keep arguing.

Seriously, with the lame FJ independent suspension and mall rated clearance. Now this is a vehicle: http://www.west-4x4.demon.co.uk/gallery/image11l.jpg

I run flats just because I like to do a lot of things like riding over logs or jumping rocks that is just too dangerous with my Times. That said the Times are a lot better when I am riding XC. You can have the best mechanics for pedaling in the world but you can't defy physics. Being able to pull the pedal up is priceless. No shoe/flat combo can make that happen. For what I normally ride I use my flats but if I am going to race an XC track or just go on a long ride I will put the Times on.

2nd that. After the second or third trick I had to scroll back up and double check that he indeed had broke something.

I really appreciate the "reality check" crashes in the video. Doesn't matter how good you are crashes happen and it is good for me to be reminded of that because I watch too many pinkbike videos of flawless sections in a run and start to forget what mountain biking really looks like. Good job on showing us a biking event and not a highlight reel.

My Fox is the same way. It is a TALAS RLC and I just put in a bit more air. Not ideal but what it is.

Awesome job.
