I’ve been to 3. Yes they are, they’re more packed with fans than any race of the year so you tell me.

If I were selected to represent my Country in something I absolutely would do it for free.

Absolutely find the best surgeon and cash based PT you can afford. Forget insurance based PT they do cookie cutter exercises - you need someone who will spend the full hour working with you and intimately understands foot and ankle biomechanics. I’m 2 years out from a bimaleolar fracture and continue to make progress but that is because I found the best foot and ankle surgeon in SoCal and PT combined with functional trainer who knows how to progressively load the foot and ankle to regain mobility and strength. The ankle is one of the most poorly rehabbed joints because...

Historically it was called the Screw U, but the last few years they sanitized the nickname and started calling it "The Wall".

Ummmm, why are you even watching? That was a very entertaining race. Maybe you should get into golf.

Credit where credit is due though, Deegans ability to somehow stay on the bike when he's looking out of control and like he's riding outside his limit is crazy. The amount of times I think he should have went down and and he somehow stays off the ground. Nice to see Prado with some fire after this break!

"The other side sucks!"

6061-T6 from different sources and certainly different continents…can, will, does…have different quality and doesn’t always meet the same “specification” in the real world. This is especially when talking about China and commercial goods.

Electric bikes need their own class

I've mapped a route from our house to our cabin. An hours drive on backroads to tellico plains, air down and run gravel roads, up over the mts. down to the south side of the smokies. Then easy hwy to Cherokee N.Carolina, then gravel all the way east using parts of the trans America trail, to 19e, then another 30 mins easy hwy drive the rest of the way. Takes over twice the normal 3.5 hr drive. But beautiful and totally worth it. Especially in winter after it snows.

Congrats! Beautiful bike! Price means nothing, you can't put a price on what makes you happy. I honestly can't remember what I paid for the last 10 450's that I've bought over the years. If you got what you wanted, that's all that matters. Enjoy it 👍

Less time and less money for me. One kid just started college. The other starts highschool plus college classes. Started a side business so I could have some play money but it burns up all my time 🤷🏻‍♂️ I can't complain though, setting my kids up to be better off financially than I ever was

42 here. I'm surprised the 41-50 is the smaller demographic here? Thought we had more money and time in our forties then our thirties? My friends are slowly losing interest, but I still feel young and hope to ride till I can't any more.

I attended the MXGP of Shanghai last year. Saw and heard this bike in person. Met the guys behind it. I can't speak to the quality or ride but the bike looks very well engineered. They are all passionate MX and enduro riders that are simply trying to grow the Chinese off-road market in the right direction. One of the guys behind ROCS is a multi-time Chinese national MX champ, is an engineer and also did Dakar a few years ago. He also lurks... right here often 👀 I didn't really know what to expect at the MXGP but was...

Some gold rims and blue fork uppers would be tits

I've used internally butted and externally butted seat tubes, straight gage tube - everything. With the composite seat tubes, it's just been a way to save a little bit of weight, while using straight gage 4130, with having to do next to no reaming for the 31.6 seat post going into the 34.9. tubing. I've a triangulation tube going from the weld junction of the composite seat tube to the shock mount area on the downtube. Miter fixtures? I've just used Alloy Blocks ( substantial ones, in relative - to the tubes - width and length, to not crush tubes...

I've used 853 for many years now, and, 953 Stainless. But, my DH frames, use straight gauge 4130 in the DT, a Columbus 38.10mm top tube, a composite seat tube (thickness) -1.65mm 34.9 takes a 31.6mm seat tube perfectly, so around 80 to 125mm of that, the rest either .7 4130 , or some 853 I have. By the way, have you Ever tried to ream out 853 to take a seat tube, after welding ? Bastard of a task! For my DH bikes, I make a composite / welded headtube, of ridiculous beefiness : I use a Columbus tapered...
