Hog_ Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I also noticed that most riders ride with Boxxers and on the WC they are using the Fox, that is really intresting, would like to know why. I also noticed that more freerides are sponsored by/ride with SRAM/RockShox than Shimano and Fox. Let's not kid ourselves with the idea that any of these riders choose their gear based on performance, they ride what they're paid to ride. When the companies do their market research and see that their fork is seen as more race/freeride orientated, they just make sure to get a few more freeriders/racers on their payroll, that way they can make the sheep (us) buy more of their gear.

True, but none of those forks, especially the marzos, exploded like some rims did. As product burliness verification goes, I'd be sold on any of them.
Stretch Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 This was in my "watch this" list on youtube well worth a watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2eFw9ATBIk
deanbean Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Scathing article about the commentary at the rampage. I never watched, was it so bad?http://nsmb.com/call-norby/
Skylark Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Busy watching rampage now, camera angles are like an SABC broadcast and it sounds like they hired some golfing pundits to do the commentary. Commentary is supa ***, there must be a million guys who could have done the commentary that are actually in the scene and got some tricks in the bag to keep things entertaining.... Red Bull got the wires crossed on this one!
Skylark Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 How's the polish guy doing his run in a vest, giving himself solid motivation not to eat it...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 How's the polish guy doing his run in a vest, giving himself solid motivation not to eat it...I reckon the rationale was that if he comes pip he's gonna be in pain either way - so a little t shirt was kinda the same as nothing at all...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Scathing article about the commentary at the rampage. I never watched, was it so bad?http://nsmb.com/call-norby/ Yes. It was. Tricks were badly called as well. Everything was a suicide something or other, or a nac. No mention of whips, x-ups, No hander seatgrab, superman seatgrab etc.
patches Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 The commentary reminded me of the Super Sport commentary on the PMB DH a few years back. "wow, he ramped that" sort of thing. Fine for those who don't know a thing about the gravity scene, but for the enthusiasts... almost insulting! Was it just me or did you guys also think the spectators were thin on the ground. Guess it was a combo of venue change and the postponement to a weekday.
Dirty Sanchez Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Was it just me or did you guys also think the spectators were thin on the ground. Guess it was a combo of venue change and the postponement to a weekday.A lot of comments on Pinkbike about having to be back at work on the Monday...
Stretch Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 ja - the commentary was super bad..that chick at the finish though...she took the cake "andreu andreu wait come back we need to talk to you...you cant go away..wait..come back"
Gandalf Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 ouch. looks like its going to be a nut cracker. Kelly McGarry
Stretch Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 ouch. looks like its going to be a nut cracker. Kelly McGarry that is insane! His casing of the gap on run 2 looked equally painful...and how he just jumped up and smiled is beyond me
