indeed they do, and it's normally a mix of nitrates, eg KNO3, CaNO3, or NaNo3. The use of table salt was a deliberate, but somewhat misleading oversimplification. Agreed.

he obviously doesnt do DH

errm, NaCl or sodium chloride, or more commonly known as salt. When a solid we use it as a food substance or for melting ice. Molten salt is used in solar concentrators to transport the capture solar heat and trasnferred to a secondary medium like water which is turned into steam.

a pedestrian actually has more probability of escaping an accident, a cyclist doesn't. Velocity vectors dont lie. Also, when they get stupid going the wrong way, they get more stupid with those lights, blinding motorists who supposed to stay in the left lane, right lane for overtaking. But no, now motorists must move to the right just to make way for the roadie in teh wrong with a lazer upfront. the idiocy is compounding by the pedal stroke. and that 1.5m rule? does it still apply that you are doing the wrong thing going in the wrong direction? also, who has right of way between two cyclists going in opposite directions on the same portion of verge? There's a thread about such stupidity around somewhere. It's as silly as the roadie in the morning along teh cycle lane that refuses to ride on the dedicated cycle lane, rides in the road instead, and going against traffic. I mean seriously, are you (not the OP) that important whoever you are? yikes.

shuttling was for practice. take away practice. no more shuttles. I'm with the thread directon traffic cop, in that no shuttles for enduro races. Liking the idea of a prologue though. That urban bit for Punta Ala was good publicity. They should have something similar here for all enduro events.

good question. noted another level of darwinism the other day, when a roadie decided to ride down the wrong way in the road, right next to a dedicated cycling lane. Some people are just so much better than everyone else....

easily one of the most epic big air locations out there. Superb cinema... http://vimeo.com/66453699

still a vibey tune.

that photo above holds a bit of irony: helmet off but still the winner. There's been some debate, not officially or even semi-officially, about whether fab really won or not. The offending image, as used by peaty in his little jibe to the organisers, is this one from PB: http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p5pb9604716/p5pb9604716.jpg according to the discussion, the Enduro World Series rulebook states a rider must wear a helmet at all times during the event. The internet has taken that to mean that Fab should have been penalized for not wearing it properly: down and d-clips buckled up.

as a generalisation, that everything works out the same after vat, customs and whatnot is a gross overstatement. What I have noticed of late however, is that there is increasing price parity on items, and in some instances, it's massively cheaper at the my LBS of choice. However, I'd still pay for variety and choice, and this where local is just downright not lekker. Much of the northern hemisphere winter stuff will be going on sale now, and try get that stuff here, much less at the prices you will eventually pay for it.

gentleman's agreement as for as LOIs are concerned (but then again, the full details as to what he signed for are unknown here). nonetheless, the dramatics aside, at the end of it all, it's Gwin's decision. This is more a reflection on him and his state of mind. What that is and motivated the change is unnknown. But so far, it smells of douchebaggery of note.

local source?

yikes, the only bit of lunacy left to be bragged about is Lance's straightfaced confession.
