Think the safety equip is to expensive and people are bit intimidated by sailing! I really enjoyed it... But dont have free time to join up with crew. Miss the feeling of how little you are in the deep, while swearing to yourself, if you make it out, you're never going out again,haha

Bos of all shocks!

Its been also the way i've been riding... I just called it riding, altough it is mostly pushing and then riding down. But since I think enduro is trying to capture the essence of the way we all ride, i think they should run it in the way the average joe goes about riding. Keeping shuttles out of the rules might also make it easier for local guys to organise bigger events without the additional worry of logistics for shuttles.

Up on Enduro magazines' facebook page. THE BIG DEBATE - Does using 4X4's to shuttle have a place in the evolution of enduro racing, or is it simply cheating? "Full story here: http://enduro-mtb.com/en/shutting-in-enduro-a-legitimate-race-tactic-or-simply-cheating/ " What do you think? For me its a easy yeah, its cheating, its what differentiates it from just being downhill

Would mind one of these.

Nice, Hope you dont regret down scaling like I almost did.... from Intense 6.6 to Trek fuel Ex9 Luckily I kept both bikes for a grace period... and sold the Trek fuel after 2 rides. But then again I dont do distance/uphills at all

Saw a Doc on him the other day (Last year) where he was training full on Enduro specific. So he is full on invested. If I recall correctly it also has something to do with the big fall he had a while back in DH Dan speaking about switch while ago; Good vid aswell for those who haven't seen it http://www.redbull.c...herton-s-enduro

Not a bike, but came across it and thought should share,haha

I dont exactly get knee pads, only time i fell on my knees was while running... While cycling my only places i get hit is shins, back of knee, shoulders, hands,chest and head.. But never on my knees. Guess it has to do with the natural way you fall?? Have broke/dislocated knee, but that was due to foot stayin behind while me and the bike carried on.

Dont think bender is so well-off these days. Probably wont get a era back. As consistanly being able to participate gets you profit, no more one hit wonders,haha. But i think the redbull freeride aproach is better, with riders needing to participate in all events, from bergline to rampage.. And one fall takes you out.

Dont see big 50lb+ "huck" bikes any more. Did skills increase or did bikes just get so good? Know karpiel still pops them out, but whos the people riding it. Redbull rampage is done with even single crown forks. Are there still guys doing stuff so big and new that they need these?

Found this gem on gumtree Cape town, was my dreambike in high school! Probably one of the 1st enduro type bikes

Even though I don't know much about road biking, I did however write a paper on frame materials for an engineering study. Read through this webpage, should give you good Idea of what each material delivers without being bias. Remember to click the tabs on the left for more in depth on each material.

Steel is real:)... Know nothing about roadbikes btw, but love my steel MTB

2nd its also a safety thing, easier for you(going uphill) to stop and ride again, than for someone travelling at 55km/h+ to stop and let you past.

NO, if you think going down should give way, you haven't gone down fast enough. Been riding for years and someone messing up my descend line ruins my day.

Check on one, about £100 a frame, can run anything and disc's. And you can buy all the weird odd's & ends from them http://www.on-one.co.uk/c/q/frames/pompetamine

Great looking bike Have to say, If I had that kind of money, this would be my frame .. Trek Slash Pretty much same geometry it seems.

massive difference, five tens have a customer for life

....The 1st letters, they swop

Thanks, is there a website I can go to for some more info?

How is post like this legal!! Stahp!!

I was thinking of giving formal DH a go this year. 1. how rough are the courses (as in would my 6" travel bike hold up). Used to ride Eden DH hardtail daily about 6-7 years ago without much fuss. My idea is skill before travel 2. What do I need to do to join in? 3. Not worried about winning, just riding with few like minded people.

Excellent Im sorry, but there is nothing that makes me laugh as hard as when a XC rider falls, Dont know if its the unexpectedness of the fall, big bike, the cleated in manoeuvres or the look on there faces.

Not my crash, but one of the toughest falls I've see. I ride urban alot, so feel for this guy! Check from minute 5:24 where the guys goes down on the staircase. http://youtu.be/ALcnU77VWGs
