Try it with your car. Drive it in a lower gear through a bumpy road and then shift up and drive the same speed in a higher gear. You will notice the difference. When the wheel hits a bump and starts to spin near the rev limiter there is nothing that can drive it forward in lower gears. In a...

All J-Law threads look the same: First we have the guy that whines over another thread, then comes the "10 pager guy", after that someone defends him and at last some bear pictures.

The thing that kept the economy going was the ability to lend money but the financial...

The Christophe Pourcel of 2009-2010 is the most inspiring rider to me. His riding style and way of always riding in the meat of the powerband was awesome to watch.

Imagine to see your teammates bike come fly past you without a rider after a jump, what would be the first thing to would think of? Is my teammate alive? Is he hurt? Barcia?
