posted May 21, 2013 by mtbgreg1
The "Imaginate" series goes behind the scenes with Danny MacAskill as he prepares for his greatest movie yet. Red Bull has given Danny a blank check to do basically whatever he wants, so the pressure is on. Not so much from outside forces, but Danny is...

Haha. It just seemed like they had great components for a great price. The more I think about it I might just get that Airborne Goblin. Seems legit, only problem is I don't know how to tune the bike. I'm...

skibum commented on Video: "Rocky Mountain - Fortitude"
I wondered the same thing. I though all that tweakable geometry was supposed to make this one bike a quiver-killer; equally adept at climbing and descending. Having said that, despite what appears to be some poor marketing, I'd still love to...

mtbgreg1 replied to Re: Bicycling Magazine SUCKS on the forums

I saw this on your Instagram dgaddis, and I'm incredulous as well! IMO, mountain biking and outdoor sports in general are about being self-sufficient and self-relient. If you don't want your genes removed from the gene pool, don't crash your...
