    Dave Castner RIP

    Dave Castner, long time member of the group and old XC racer and Vernon area rider, passed away last month in a motorcycle accident. I saw a mention of it in someone's blog but I wanted to bring it to the surface because Dave was a hell of a guy. He was one of the funniest and most original...

    GCN - zero MTB content

    I was reminded that world cups start in a few weeks and how red bull is bye bye, and so I checked out the GCN channel on my samsung smart TV. First I had to sign up -- $9 per month or $50 for a year. Knowing I'll be watching world cups into October this year, the year pass made sense and so I...

    Central Jersey BMX (Howell) closing

    Sad stuff. 40 years. This comes after grippen in upstate NY closed last year too.

    2023 Racing Calendar

    We've had the 2023 calendar for a couple months but I'm starting our new thread for 2023. Obviously big changes with the streaming partner now being Discovery instead of Red Bull, but the calendar itself isn't much different from previous years other than Enduro joining DH and XC on three stops...

    Is there no 2022 TdF thread?

    First stage today was a TT (which I will never understand doing for the first stage) and wasn't thrilling but had a nice surprise and emotion in interviews and jersey ceremonies. Stage 2 tomorrow is flat but longer (one of the few 200km stages) and there are green jersey points to be had. Two...

    I miss four cross

    Watching dual slalom at crankworx this weekend and I'm just continually surprised we lost the entire discipline of four cross. When it was part of the world cups I loved it. Exciting, dangerous and TV-ready. Dual slalom is boring but okay I guess, as is the pump track competitions, but neither...

    Do you sell used bikes to these facebook flippers?

    I've noticed when I put bikes up for sales on marketplace I immediately get inquiries from these guys that are clearly not buying it for themselves but instead flipping the bike for resale. One time a guy bought my wifes old bike and a few days later I saw it for sale again for a hundred more...

    Sold. 2011 Giant Trance X size S

    Older Trance probably 2011 or 2012. I rode it myself for a few years and then swapped a short stem onto it and my son rode it just a handful of times the past few years. I have a couple stem lengths from 40mm to 80mm I can include. Bike is in Westwood NJ. Perfect NICA bike. $650 OBO Giant...

    Sold. Devinci Wilson XP DH bike size small

    Selling my son's downhill bike as he outgrew it. I bought it for him when he was about five foot and now that he's five six its a little small for his liking (though its fine for someone five six if they like their DH bikes on the smaller size). Current spring and fork is currently set up for...

    Ibis Ripmo AF vs Rocky Altitude vs Spesh Status 160

    The big note is this is for both Creek and trails. All will be in the budget category ($3k to $4k), so all alloy frames and lower NX to SLX level specs. I gave my son my downhill bike and my trail bike and so I'm hoping to grab an enduro bike for both uses. The Ripmo AF seems like a no brainer...

    2022 pro gravity schedule

    New year new thread. I'll post the full world cup schedule but for now its worth noting the US Open is coming back east to Killington. I've been meaning to hit Killington for years so I think we'll make a weekend of it. Thanks to Clay for making it happen. DH only world cups and world champs...

    How would Sam do today?

    Most of us are old enough to have watched Sam Hill in his prime which was a special thing. The incredibly casualness while going so much faster than nearly everyone was a mystery and a joy at the time (unless he was putting 8 seconds into your favorite rider). Have bruni/pierron/brosnan and the...

    Signed my son up for the Highland Academy camp

    Week of July 3. Pretty psyched. So this clarifies how much we were going to look to improve both our skills this next year -- the answer is significantly. So we'll get creek season passes again but I'm also going to get some lessons with Kathy or someone else for him to elevate his abilities. He...

    Hey dads - piermont just got in 200 SE bikes

    Grumble about how overpriced they are while you drive over and pick one up. They'll be gone within a week.

    I cant get into EWS

    I've watched DH and XC for 15 yrs but i just can't get into EWS. Just not exciting for me. Maybe if they find a way to structure the event so that its more TV friendly and then have rob host. Outside of getting to watch sam hill ride am I missing anything?
